  2. Being flat on my back had me flat on my back.

    I reflect on the past week of being on my back with pain, what I have been able to accomplish recently, and how I hope to find joy in what I do even through tough times ahead.

  3. Ask Me Anything #4

    I answer another question for WeblogPoMoAMA, this time a question I posited to the community in the aftermath of the US presidential election about how this impacts you, your plans, and what you will do.

  4. Impact

    I write about Impact for the Indieweb Carnival and explore personal impact, other's impact, and the impact of the powerful through the lens of the US presidential election results. It turned out differently than I planned.

  6. Ask Me Anything #2

    In this second Ask Me Anything I answer a question asked of another blogger about what I think makes me vulnerable. I try to tie my answer to influences on my personality type as well as how this vulnerability is cropped up over time.

  7. Ask Me Anything #1

    For the first WeblogPoMo AMA I talk about my superpower and how I think I can trace its roots back to my childhood, through my illness, and all the way up to today.

    Blitzing on Day 4! Clearing out the last of the blog posts this time with a set of ten. Up next: a mixed bag!

    Round four of bookmarks include some more lengthy articles and a couple videos. The first set of bookmarks using my new categorization attempt.

  13. What the indie web means to me.

    I did that fun thing today on the web where you read a blog post that opens another link and read another blog post that opens another link and read...the indie web.

  14. Pets

    I tell the tale as best I can remember of all the pets I've had in my life, as well as some special guests, and visiting animals that only stayed for a short time. These include cats, a duckling, a rubber boa, and a green iguana.

  15. People and Blogs: Interview Answers

    I share the questions and answers from my People & Blogs newsletter interview. Be sure to check out Manu's version and subscribe to the newsletter if you don't already!

    I explore topics about being vulnerable on a personal blog: how it affects us, others, when it might be used against us, and how we might still push forward with vulnerability in our own spaces.

  17. To omg.lol: an uncomfortable home

    A letter to omg.lol. I had a wrenching experience earlier this week with another omg.lol member on part of the platform, have had thoughts of leaving, but want to find a way to remain.

  20. Favorites, Part III

    In this third, and final, part for Favorites, I go into the great room, out to the yard and garden, and mention some whole house favorites.

  22. Companies are made of and for people.

    This post is a tale told through personal experience and modern capitalism's behavior. It's a tale that can be told over and over about many places and many things, and will likely play out again and again as long as we allow it to happen.

  23. XOXO 2024: The first time with longing!

    In which I pine for XOXO, the most Portland of conferences, and answer the registration questions while I consider the option of attendance by lottery.

    I attended Micro Camp 2024 and I started thinking about community, what it means to me, how I've tried to find it, and where I've struggled.

  27. My computer origin story.

    I travel back in time and my brain to attempt to recall the history of computers in my life: where it started, how it proceeded, and where I've ended up.

    In this second part for Favorites, I go into the office and talk about software and hardware that I use, why I use them, and maybe some backstory.

    I talk about inheriting a box of recipes from my grandmother, buying a new domain, and what I'm thinking of doing with them.

    For some people, March 2020 never ended. And in some ways, it is worse now.

    I made a birthday graphic with a photo I took. Take a look and download a copy to use.
