Fully armed and operational
Was able to get indie auth, webmentions, Mastodon verification and umami up and running. Hit a small snag with my not understanding how the header/footer injection worked in Pure Blog but was able to...

Well I stayed up way too late finishing the new Running Man. It was better than I expected. But it also seems like they were setting it up for a sequel which I'm not particularly excited about.

The new Running Man movie is out on Paramount+ now. Just clicked play. There's no way this is as good as Arnold's. Still need to read the book too.

Used Google's Antigravity to spruce up the editor I use to write blogposts. I went for something that emulated the simplicity of the WriteFreely editor. It's about as simple as it gets. Just a mostly...

I added some simple analytics to this site finally. So now I can prove that I'm the only one reading it :). Mostly it was just wanting to check out self hosting Umami analytics. Following Jack over at...

One thing that I just realized my new scribbling setup doesn't currently support is physical media. I don't often get a chance to sit down and listen to a record but I did get some good ones for Fathe...
"Is it still called scrobbling?"
I read Filterworld by Kyle Chayka last year and have been trying to be more mindful of where algorithms are influencing my consumption. Music is probably the biggest portion of that consumption. For t...
