"The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs

Making decisions with a sense of calm and stability will be advantageous today. Embracing change while holding onto your core values ensures progress without losing sight of what truly matters. Trust in the growth process, even if it's gradual, and remember that choices aligned with personal integrity lead to long-lasting success.

Hello,

It is time for a little snow around here….

Today I awoke to no thundering mechanics outside, and my energy assistance landed in time for the current bill, which meant going to read over breakfast out, but the combination of 39°F, rain, and wind probably will scuttle the walk today.

I have a profile picture on chado.omg.lol now

Enjoying a lovely vacation. Spending this evening looking at the beach. Moon lighting up the ocean. Enjoying a cigar. Nothing to complain about currently.

Happy Valentines Day!!

I gotta say. Every time I play around with omg.lol, I like it more and more.

(Important Update - Please Read) Content schedule, week of 2/12/2024: (all times Eastern)

I'm in the throes of handling a family emergency that arose late last week. To that end, my week is in full disarray, and I've had to cancel my trip to the California Pen Show. The only certainty is tomorrow's podcast, which has moved up from Wednesday.

I will likely stream once or twice this week because honestly I'll need the break, but there is no way I can schedule anything ahead of time. You can follow me at and schedule to be notified when I go live. I could use the company for sure. Talk soon!

Tuesday, 9 a.m.: Podcast at

Members content: P.A.R. Thursday, Refill #412 Saturday.

I’m still upset that the episode of 30 Rock with Oprah Winfrey got yanked from all the streaming platforms and digital stores. I mean, I get it (although I’ll never really get it since that first “I get it” is about to be followed up with a “but” which means I don’t really get it), but it was so funny! I wish they could’ve AI edited out the B-story and kept Oprah and Liz (and Pam).

Working on creating what amounts to my first true eLearning course. I’ve done video tutorials before, but nothing so sophisticated as this. I’m using Articulate’s Rise 360 which is easy to work with, but creating the actual content and sourcing images etc. takes a lot more time than I anticipated it would.

Moving all my public and private notes around again, because I'm apparently incapable of not doing that.

New week, many meetings, but some sport too!

Rosenmontag. Alaaf!

Still didn’t get around to reading and bookmarking my open tabs, whoops.

I am busy refreshing the site though…

Three 50+ yard field goals in this game vs seven in the 57 previous Super Bowls. Now that's football.

“If they don’t win, there’re gonna lose.” ~NFL Announcer

language and ideology are prisons. people who are afraid of what’s on the outside and whether they can make it, and more so people who are afraid to lose the power they’ve amassed inside, will do anything to stay put — and keep the people they have power over with them.

At work for another week. This week will be a good week!

Hm, I decided to stagger updates of my web series for subscribers on the lowest tier. This means they'll be 5 episodes behind early access readers. This also gives me a lovely little buffer for the time being, while I figure out what I want to do about Kindle Vella.

It's that time of the week again, welcome back to another episode of This Week In Privacy:

The thing about looking up stuff online is that the moment you open your browser, you are distracted by 2 million things and you forget what you wanted to look up.

And then you spend half an hour staring at the screen, wondering what you were going to search for.

This is why I've now given myself the rule that I HAVE to write things down in my journal before I even think of opening my laptop or phone.

If only I didn't keep forgetting that in the heat of the "hmmm I wonder if"-energy spike.

A 4-day weekend is done. I rested, hiked a lot with my dog, got back to running, read some articles and saw a couple of movies. Felt good. I'm not eager to get back to work, and it's not that I don't like my job. It's just that, at the moment, I would prefer to do others things!

« Non vogliate nulla al di là della vostra capacità: hanno una falsità odiosa quelli che vogliono al di là delle proprie capacità. Soprattutto quando vogliono cose grandi! Poiché suscitano diffidenza verso le cose grandi, questi raffinati falsari e commedianti: – finché diventano falsi con se stessi, strabici, pieni di vermi e riverniciati, ammantati di parole forti, di virtù da esposizione, di opere splendenti e false. »

The mystery smoke detector that's been low-battery beeping in my house for the last 3 days (we have nest protects which don't beep, they sternly warn) turned out to be the mechanical hard disk in the dell thin client making death chirps. This dual-core ULV haswell, no-ram little shit has transcended beyond sucking at the single task it's set up to do and is now mentally attacking me in my own home.

I may end up changing some things in it, but overall I stand by what I've said for the time being

sometimes the fact that everything passes is a comfort. but man, what a meagre, shitty, easily turned on its head comfort.

February starts

A feeling of peace and calm, that everything is ok, questions will be answered when they are meant to be, things will happen when they are intended to. Letting go of the idea that I actually have any control over anything is wonderful. Something that I should do more often.

Lately quite a bunch of people who read my blog took the time to send me an email to say "hi" and "thank you" and I'm really really happy about this. It's such a wholesome, short, and personal interaction with strangers out there.

Went back to watch Loki S1:

• I really enjoy Hiddleston as an actor but I was skeptical the Loki character could carry an entire show. I feel fully correct in that.
• The reason it's a ensemble piece is that Marvel's version of Loki can only really react to things and doesn't have any actual character
• I had hoped the female loki would show a version of the character who has actual drive and purpose, but she doesn't.
• Really skillfully executed art direction that's totally dead inside as is typical of Marvel
