In working on the new blog, I discovered even more old MP3 recordings of my college bands. The band was a one-gig-wonder we called The Motor Boys.
After many years running WordPress, I have finally given up. I really don't need a server or a content management software. I'm doing a simple static blog with Hugo and CloudFront. Here's how.
I’ve been thinking about how to make social media practical and usable by kids. Back when I was experimenting with app.net, I wrote a blog on how it could be used safely with kids. Well, app.net died. But maybe Mastodon will succeed where it failed.
No social platform yet has made a decent set of tools for being kid-friendly but Mastodon could create one. This blog post is a rewrite of my old one, edited to account for things that are different in the ‘fediverse’.

I was working on my bash prompt recently. I think I've settled on some defaults that I quite like. I figured I'd share it with the world.
In 2003 a Belgian election anomaly investigation shrugged. In 2017 it's described as cosmic rays hacking our elections. Ridiculous.
