  1. Happy New Year!

    But wait - 2025, we're not quite done with you yet! Let's look back once more on all the fun The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company had this most recent trip around the sun!

    Though we did not stage as many performances or travel to as many places as the prior year, what we did was majestic including our first commedia dell'arte pastorale historic fantasy style plays and our first fully staged reading, a sudden and unexpected giant whale, and then wrapping up with writing dozens of new three-act scenarios for future productions!

    This year was tough in many ways and stressful. But it's always been our goal to make the world better one laugh, one smile at at a time!

  2. 2025. It was a good year for The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company. Though we did not stage as many performances or travel to as many places as the prior year, what we did was majestic including our first commedia dell'arte pastorale historic fantasy style plays and our first fully staged reading, a sudden and unexpected giant whale, and then wrapping up with writing dozens of new three-act scenarios for future productions!

  4. The first of a new year seems like a good day to assemble, aggregate, summarize and publish various year in review posts for the prior year.

    When various online services create a year in review for you many weeks before the end of the year (whether #Spotify #Unwrapped or #Strava #YearInSport), it seems they are short-changing you.

    No one asks for an 11 months in review (except HR departments, which is a different problem).

    So why do people accept only an ~11 months summary when services provide such a premature “year” in review?

    When people say things like “Make every day count” do they not also believe you should “Count every day”?

    In this case, 2024 had 366 days. You should count every one of them, and every thing from every one of them.

    Rather than “sharing” a premature year in review, request your “year in review” today on the 1st of the year from various services, extract the data you want, fill in any gaps, and post your year in reviews on your own site¹.

  5. Yesterday I posted something about how I used to do New Years day posts where I posted one picture from each month as a year in review kind of thing. I said I was still thinking of doing one for 2023.

    I just went through my Flickr trying to decide which pics to use for the post…

    …and it turns out that most months don’t have anything worth highlighting. It was a nice quiet year but photographically? There are long stretches of time where there’s nothing special to look back on. There are lots of guitar pictures and lots of cat pictures and not a whole lot else.

    Oh well. Let’s try to make 2024 a little more visually interesting, m’kay?

    Maybe I am just old and uninteresting now. Not that I was ever very interesting to begin with.

  9. A year in review!

    I didn't draw some months, and some months I was way more productive. So here's just 15 of the best, roughly spread out across the year! Overall, I don't know if I improved my style or anatomy or perspective; but I definitely improved my speed. A few of these I finished in a single day, and I consider them my best art yet!

  10. This year began with one professional streak continuing, in the form of my covering CES in person for the 25th time in a row, followed by another ending: USA Today dropped my column after 11 years. And now it’s ending with my having written for multiple new clients, two more than once.

    So I’ll call 2023 a story of growth, even if I’m a little irked at myself for slacking off on pitching some of these new outlets more often. It was also a story of growth at my most frequent outlet, PCMag, where I was able to share such interesting new experiences with readers as seeing a rocket launch up close for the first time since 2018, sampling Starlink broadband from a chair in the sky, and taking the helm of a battery-electric hydrofoil.

    Among all the posts I wrote for various clients, these ones stand out for me:

    • I used my perch at Fast Company to tee off on Twitter’s lapsed transparency reporting, one of many cases of blatant hypocrisy in Elon Musk’s incompetent stewardship of the social platform he has since renamed X and I have since quit supporting with new free writing.
    • In my first piece for AARP, I drew upon the insight of information-security experts I’ve know for years to suggest that the threat models of most people don’t require paying for anti-virus software.
    • After more than 15 years of reading Greater Greater Washington, I wrote something for that site beyond a comment: a post explaining why military flyovers keep taking people by surprise. For several months after, the District’s AlertDC system seemed to do a better job of notifying people of impending free airshows associated with Arlington Cemetery burials, and I’d like to think my story had something to do with that.
    • A friend’s temporary stint editing at the New Republic led to my breaking down a judge’s reactionary ruling over alleged social-media censorship by the Biden administration; the piece aged vastly better than Judge Terry A. Doughty’s incoherent injunction, since reeled back under appeal and now awaiting the Supreme Court’s scrutiny.
    • An extended test of the experience of running Windows on a Qualcomm processor inside a borrowed Lenovo ThinkPad x13s yielded a feature at PCMag reporting compatibility and performance issues arising from the interactions of software with that computer’s Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chip that I hadn’t seen covered elsewhere.
    • After years of pointing out the uselessness of 8K TVs for the vast majority of home viewers, I told PCMag readers about the emptiness of Samsung’s pitch for that format at the IFA trade show in Berlin–and about the Consumer Technology Association’s shriveling shipment forecasts for 8K TVs.
    • Most of my Fast Company stories involve some extended reporting time, but I turned around a piece unpacking Facebook’s history of bad-faith behavior towards the media in a few days. It seems that being mad at a company can be a motivating factor for me.
    • In a piece for the telecom trade pub Light Reading, I shared how even wireless-industry executives are already showing signs of weariness over early hype over “6G.”

    Once again, speaking at conferences took me to some new parts of the world–but this time, they included a continent and an entire hemisphere I’d never visited before. My trip to Brazil for the new Rio de Janeiro edition of Web Summit was my favorite, treating me to the fascinating sight of constellations different from the ones I’ve known my entire life. (I’m saying that even after picking up a mild case of covid there that never felt worse than a cold and was gone within days–further proof that vaccines work–that I did not transmit to anybody at home.) It was also a treat to visit Croatia in September for Infobip’s Shift developer conference and see the country that one set of great-grandparents had left 110 years earlier.

    And as ever, one of the best parts of every trip was landing at National or Dulles and then coming home.

    (You can see a map of those flights after the jump.)

    I created the map below at the Great Circle Mapper site, following the instructions Tiffany Funk first shared in 2016 at the One Mile At A Time blog. The predominant shade of blue represents flights on United and codeshare flights on Brussels Airlines and Swiss, while other colors, some of which may be impossible to differentiate, represent American and Turkish Airlines (various shades of red), Copa and Croatia Airlines (other hues of blue), Gol (orange), Icelandair (dark blue), and Southwest (yet another shade of blue).
