  2. I remember wishing I could upgrade to 2400 bps, and I remember thinking it would be really neat to have a hard drive for my computer. In a #scifi novel I wrote in my teens, a floppy drive that handled multiple disks was an advanced technology.

    "Tell me you're old without telling me you're old...."

  6. MAN DISCOVERS HOUSEWORK 💎

    This morning was cleaning day, and Pete and I cleaned the house.

    We didn't just “give it a bit of a tidy.”

    We actually cleaned it.

    And once again, I discovered something deeply irritating.

    It wasn’t hard.

    For years, the mind has treated housework like a major civil engineering project.

    You notice some dust, and immediately there’s planning, resistance, postponement, perhaps a small committee meeting.

    Then eventually you just pick something up, wipe something down, put something away.

    And twenty minutes later, half the house looks civilized again.

    Being old has apparently taught me that many things are only difficult while I’m thinking about doing them.

    The actual doing is often surprisingly easy.

    Anyway, the house is clean.

    We’re dressed.

    We’re going out for bacon and egg hamburgers at Grill'd.

    Civilization survives another day.

  10. A Security Guard Said He Liked My Smile

    Once upon a time I was so ready to feel like a target, or a victim, that I would've been offended by a simple gesture like that. Upset that a man have the absolute audacity to pay me a complement. I like to think I've grown a bit wiser since then. I was at Sam Walton's Hell Emporium, the one for normies, not the exclusive VIP member's only Sam Walton's Hell Emporium. I prefer not to go there, but it's less than a block away and gas is fuckin expensive right now. Plus I really don't feel like […]

  13. New way for me as an old to get some aerobic exercise in: learn a hardcore song. Could be any fast music but this stuff is relatively simple. Just very physical. Spent the day getting "Stick Tight" by Terror down on bass. I can't just sit down or still during this.

    For reference, my main instruments for many decades were cassette loops, microphone feedback, feedback loops, weird machines, cheap synths, and effects pedals so this is a crazy pivot for me.

  24. We should never have let the AOL normies bridge to the internet.

    I am all about recreating the exclusive anarchist underground invite-only internet of nerds, queers, freaks and outcasts of yore.

    You only get to play with us if you can prove that you are devoted to culture jamming and dissembling the surveillance capitalism state.
