Downloaded Skyrim to my crappy laptop. Let’s see how this goes.

So does anyone have suggestions of a service—self-hosted or not—where I can upload a copyrighted video YouTube will flag so that one (yes ONE) of my friends can see it? I can’t use Plex as I don’t have access to the router for port forwarding. And I’m not looking to pirate.

If you must know, it’s Eddie Izzard’s “Dress to Kill.”

YAY MASTODON. MAH FLAG!

Any idea why Apple moved Safari’s URL bar to the BOTTOM of the screen in iOS 15? It’s…a bit irritating to use.

Superman in my Mind:

Carlos lights up a cigarette, heavy glow, an island of red in blackness. The band plays on behind the walls, muffled but strong.

“They’re pretty good” he says as he takes a drag. Newborn smoke from pink lungs curls in the sputtering streetlight.

Anxiety is getting to Carlos. This woman is alien to him.

John McAfee dies. His bloatware lives on. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/john-mcafee-dead/2021/06/23/912f66ce-9ac8-11eb-9d05-ae06f4529ece_story.html

I’ve enabled https://hypothes.is on this blog as well.

Hypothes.is is pretty cool actually. You can sign up for a free account and highlight and annotate webpages similar to how Medium does it.

So I’m hoping for some interaction.

But, mainly, I’m just drafting.

Wish me luck!

Running an experiment and am nervous. I decided to write my third novel in real time and on display for all. Sort of to scratch both the writing and tech itch.

I’m composing my first draft on https://write.as using the Novel setting for the blog. Chapters will be listed across the top.

Here’s the url to the blog: https://twru.blog

Whenever I make a post, it goes out to the Fediverse. So I’m hoping *someone* provides feedback.

Eastern State Penitentiary. I love abandoned places

I’m shutting down my Wordpress blog and jumping onto Write.as (unless they start allowing hate speech).

This is my most viewed piece. I don’t want my experience to be lost, so I’m republishing if on my new platform.
