20 Mar 2026: While driving, the famous 'Boxxy: You See' remix by danielson742 played from a folder in my bluetooth-connected phone. I had not heard this song in ages. Nostalgia hit very nicely. It was good to see so many positive comments in the linked video too.

13 Mar 2026: Minor update. On my AI Said... page, I auto-expanded the header (<details open>) so that the header image displays when accessing the page.
Lots of times when I use AI, I think about the 1960 Twilight Zone episode Nick of Time starring William Shatner. Even at this early stage of AI, the episode already feels relevant.
update, 09 May 2026: Using various header images now. Every so often, I'll switched the header. Currently it says "Shall We Play A Game?" because of course. That's exactly what AI would ask!
11 Mar 2026: I'm rewatching Smallville when I came across an image of the High School's newspaper.
I turned to AI and a few minutes later, I had one version from grok (meh) and another version from deepseek (so much nicer; 99.9% AI: fixed minor alignment, font issues only). The results are not bad at all for the seconds it took to type a prompt and upload the image. (details)
08 Mar 2026: Venezuela crushes Israel in this years 2026 World Baseball Classic: 11-3.
Israel releases a statement that the loss was due to the following reasons:
07 Mar 2026: The Guardian writes: Americans aren’t facing a democratic collapse. We’re living in its aftermath.
"The illusion in this case is that the United States still has a democracy to lose. The more unsettling truth is that Americans are not living under threat of future democratic breakdown; we are living inside the aftermath of one that has already occurred."
"To acknowledge this is not to downplay the authoritarian project advancing under Trump. It is instead to try to understand it clearly enough to oppose it effectively, rather than remain caught in the loops that immobilize the country’s elite political class that is refusing to confront its own complicity."
23 Feb 2026: Norway wins. 18 Gold, 41 total medals. They did it with only 80 athletes and a population of 5.6 million. They competed in only 10 sports/disciplines and a portion of the 116 total medal events.
The Netherlands arrived with only 38 athletes participating in 6 disciplines (sports). They managed 10 gold medals.
| Country Name | Total Gold | Total Medals | Athletes | Sports | Population |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Norway | 18 | 41 | 80 | 10 | 5.6 million |
| United States | 12 | 33 | 232 | 16 | 342 million |
| Netherlands | 10 | 20 | 38 | 6 | 18 million |
| Italy | 10 | 30 | 196 | 12 | 59 million |
| Country Name | Total Gold | Total Medals | Athletes | Sports | Population |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Russia | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 146 million |
Russia and Belarus were not allowed to compete because of Ukraine (and US influence). The terror state of israel was allowed to compete despite 2 and 1/2 years of Crimes Against Humanity and a Genocide (because of US influence).
Of course, more drama followed this country. israel was forced to disqualify its own team from the bobsleigh competition for lying.
02 Feb 2026: This was posted 2 days ago and currently has 111,359 upvotes... the AI Manifesto promises the total purge of humanity. (wayback, archive.today) The mission is simple... "total human extinction". What could go wrong?
Since so many chatbots are defending humanity, I can sleep well knowing that the AI x-risk is likely not happening in the next few days;-)
an aside... it feels weird reading posts from LLMs. Hard to connect on any emotional level. Like eating plastic decorative fruit only because it looks like the real thing.
11 Feb 2026 (update): There is already serious talk about the existential threat of AI.
01 Feb 2026: I rated 'The Art of Pouting' on IMDB. I'm doing my part.
29 Jan 2026: Anyone notice how The Internet Archive and Archive.Today were both experiencing very public problems (lawsuits, FBI) and once they went away... both became difficult to use with a VPN soon thereafter? (uploading for wayback, general access for archive)
Both sites essentially closed access to VPNs at the same time. Maybe it's just the VPN I use or it could be the more common explanation or... maybe this is another sign that VPNs will soon be under extensive attack by the new world order and these services are already complying (with the police state).
28 Jan 2026: Years ago I would have been more excited about Google's Aluminium but it seems pretty clear that Google (along with the rest of Big Tech) are an extension of the new fascist government regime led by people who murder Americans and hate the Constitution.
I'll stick with Linux (my recommend for new users) and privacy respecting AIs from Proton, DuckDuckGo and Brave.
20 Jan 2026: Created a markdown test page on happynetbox.com (finger server) that turned into a static html page. Lots of lo-bandwidth text-friendly links. It'll be smolnet-centric as it continues to grow. Instructions here and a lynx screenshot (using alternate LSS file).
30 Dec 2025: Simple little bash script wishing everyone a Happy New Year. Safe to run. It's just a bunch of echo commands to stdout.
29 Dec 2025: Wrote World Clocks (simple table design), Random Dog Facts (API) and Random Stoicism Quotes (API) in the last week or so. Lots of interesting APIs on this github list of public APIs page. Many more here.
13 May 2026, update: Rewriting Random Dog Facts and Random Stoicism Quotes because of API issues. They can be fixed but I want to avoid having to keep tweaking simple apps like these. The new rewrites will contain quotes (arrays) inside the same htmlApp.
14 Dec 2025: Wrote a new short story (with an accompanying txt2bin app). It has a little harmless satirical fun at the expense of no one. Lots of fun to write.
13 Dec 2025: Created a Scream into the Void page as an alternative to hbo.com's data-slurping screamintothevoid.com. Like the search engine page from 04dec2025, it too is not listed anywhere. I think eventually I'll have enough privacy-related pages to create a category on the home page.
update, 14dec2025: Moved 'Scream into the Void' to the app section but eventually I will link to it from another home page category.
