Okay then.

Our story so far: Back around November of 2024, for reasons that will no doubt be obvious to anyone not living under a rock, I decided that my contributions - however minuscule or infrequent - to the content of social media sites that belonged to fascist billionaires were a moral failing on my part; that I could no longer in good conscience be a reason anyone might want to keep reading those sites. So, I quit using Facebook. (I'd already quit Twitter.)

I was also suffering from some anxiety at the time, and found that anything that even looked like a social media site was raising my heart rate. So I quit using Mastodon, too, even though it's a lot more in line with my open-source values.

For the most part, these changes have made my life a lot better, and I encourage everyone to do the same. That shit's bad for you. Seriously, don't get me started on this, I'm like a recently minted non-smoker.

The one disappointment: I do sometimes think of an interesting or goofy thing to say, or have a nice vacation picture I'd like to share, and I don't know what to do with those. I haven't been doing anything with them at all.

Fortunately, however, I'm reasonably good at this "technology" thing, so I leapt immediately into action, and 15 months later I got around to creating this website.

Here's picture of the "Old Faithful Geyser of California" in Calistoga to start us off. We'll see how it goes from here, I guess.
