Thoughts & Notes

08 Jan 2026: Renee Nicole Good, 37. RIP. (Video, Comments)

07 Jan 2026: On Slashdot... New Dietary Guidelines Abandon Longstanding Advice on Alcohol. Lobbying continues to pay off at the cost of more American lives. Where are the democrats? Are they also lining their pockets with blood money?

06 Jan 2026: The New York Times reports that "zionism threatens the entire world" in its quest for a New Order Order (image). We have allowed parasitic foreign invaders to run our country and now... the world is palestine.

Because... threatening to overthrow governments, steal their land and resources through cowardly "legalized murder" using our trillion dollar war machine... is not a New World Order in any political sense.

It is israel's continued psychotic Crimes Against Humanity that has somehow metastasized into our Foreign Policy - making the US the biggest threat to world peace and the principal catalyst for World War.

06 Jan 2026: "AI Said...", a new category, is shaping up into a collection of (subjectively) interesting articles. AI is succeeding as a disruptive new search technology because (like Microsoft and IE) Google search became useless. They deserve to be replaced.

04 Jan 2026: Drudge rewrites a headline with a sensationalistic and dishonest rage bait title in all caps:

"SHE BLAMES THE JEWS...," he writes dramatically, to what he must perceive to be a roomful of "useful idiots" he can mold with zionist propaganda. The story specifically says zionists and israel - the parasitic foreign invaders eating away at American Democracy and Morality.

Does Drudge hold all Jews responsible for the evils of the israeli state? Does he feel that all Jews should be held to account for the War Crimes israel has committed? Is this antisemitic trope designed to shield israel's War Crimes from criticism somehow? Is he suggesting that israel's moral depravity is inherent in all Jews? (AI weighs in...)

01 Jan 2026: I was looking for an excuse to use wttr.in and so posted a couple of wrapper scripts on the Free Apps page. The first, weather.wttr, displays the extended forecast for a selected city in an iframe. The second, weather.wttr.table, displays the current temperature for 8 cities in a 4x2 table.

I love the ASCII format and wanted to incorporate it into my workflow. See the HTML source.

31 Dec 2025: Rewrote and shortened They Heard Our Cries from 1,048 words to 507 without losing the core story. It reads much better now (I think).

30 Dec 2025: Simple little bash script wishing everyone a Happy New Year. Safe to run, 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. I expect to write a few more htmlApps using some of these APIs.

23 Dec 2025: Wrote a weather app. I still use @graph.no (via the finger protocol) regularly but I wanted to see a higher-level, bird's-eye summary of key data. Includes a small wrapper script (ww) for viewing multiple regions at once. Screenshot: latest.

This is a major rewrite of a previous version I posted a week earlier. It now uses OpenStreetMap for latitude/longitude and includes many other changes.

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.

07 Dec 2025: The US government now wants to make any form of protest, of free speech, satiric comedy or anything they deem a threat to their fascist takeover of the US... a crime. This is Capitol Insurrection 2.0, a killshot into the soul of every American and...

The Death of The Constitution. Essentially tearing up a contract by "We The People" allowing a select few to govern us. Ironically, destroying any legitimate form of government and any claims of leadership.

03 Dec 2025:Read this today... "On March 13, 2015, Facebook, Inc. announced that they had acquired TheFind.com for an undisclosed sum, and the site was being shut down." (wikipedia). How many times has Facebook (and other Big Tech) done similar? They gorge until only they remain.

29 Nov 2025: I came across this ironically insane popup a month ago. Yes... it's real. It's the real web. "Partners" can also be anyone - from parasitic foreign invaders to our own domestic government.
