03-Jan-2022 How did I not notice Scarlett Johansson played mermaids at least twice?I saw The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie in the theaters in 2004 and I saw Hail, Ceasar! in the theaters in 2016 and several times streaming since then. While watching Hail, Ceasar! last night it suddenly occurred to me Ms. Johansson played a mermaid in both. Now, why is it that my brain never has noticed…

tante‘s The Third Web essay is a fine, detailed history and condemnation of the ideas of web3. I wish I could find more to take issue with, alas, the ideas of blockchain and cryptocurrency seem to be things that excite people without regard to their political, social, and energy effects.

05-Jan-2022 ThundarrMaybe you’d like to read about Thundarr the Barbarian — one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid. Deeply weird and VERY JACK KIRBY. I only learned that part years later. Also I am a fan of Mark Evanier. I learned his name in his comic DNAgents. I was buying them in 1983.

05-Jan-2022 - 06-Jan-2022Hidden Zines!
This story is super-charming: Inside a hollow library book, a secret library By Tori Marlan. It’s about this art project: Decentralized Zine Library Project. As I’ve now been *in* some publications that were anthology zines (see: #burn_all_books) it has a special meaning for me. Make more art and put it in the world!

He’s a high achiever in medical school now, but he nurses a sense of failure that may haunt him for life. What stopped him from becoming a Perlman or…

10-Jan-2022 Finding earworms in last.fm data with PHPOver the weekend I was prompted to think about the idea of an “earworm” — a song or piece of music that gets stuck in your mind. Some people find such “earworms” to be highly irritating. The idiom implies an actual worm in your actual ear which sounds positively *horrifying* to me. For me, an…

14-Jan-2022 Drawing with CSS: Cube CatI have seen extraordinary things made with HTML and CSS. I remember in 2003 seeing the CSS Zen Garden (though it was hosted on mezzoblue at the time). Nearly 20 years later and CSS remains an incredible tool, only more extraordinarily powerful with each passing week, each new spec, each new browser release. For several…

This post: Only Scale, from Dubious Quality (who I’ve been reading for a decade or more): Morality is never rewarded in this country, only scale. Just think about that for a moment. Is doing the right thing ever even discussed? Not really. How often do you see a CEO get rewarded for taking a moral…

25-Jan-2022 Your Driver: The RockThere was a tweet saying that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is going to be in another movie based on a videogame.

26-Jan-2022 Cousins and TI-99/4aThat’s me and my cousins. I was quite proud to show off my TI-99/4a computer. 4 MHz processor and less RAM than pretty much any photo posted to any social media service you use daily. I did my first graphics programming on that computer. You can also see the tape recorder/radio I saved programs onto….
