Copied from a post on the ComicFury forums, here are my New Years’ Resolutions for 2020. I started off with my art resolutions, but the general resolutions are closely connected to those. OK, it’s the time of year for this and allows me to procrastinate actually working on a comic (which it’s also the time […]

Linklog for December 29, 2019: mostly about Big Tech being bad
My New Years’ Resolutions for 2020 are driven by a desire to become less dependent on Big Tech (Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Twitter) even in cases where it’s not possible for me to sever the relationship completely. So it’s convenient to find that most of the links that I’ve collected over the past two […]
Linklog for November 8, 2018: Nasi Goreng, Ginger Baker and Something You Can Do Right Now To Push Back Against Nazis
There’s an interview with me on Wordsmith.social by Copyleft Curator. What You Don’t Know You Don’t Know by Luna Nieves (“Aicaya”). Making people learn Unix-ish stuff on the internet is a good way to create a perpetually-angry programmer community. If you want to start from the beginning, nothing beats books, but books are out of […]
Linklog for July 21: Does work dominate your life?
Shit, it’s July 21 already? Time just slips through my fingers. Here’s some links I liked or found engaging in the past few weeks. I felt extremely called out by If work dominated your every moment would life be worth living? by Andrew Taggart at Aeon.com. Some of these considerations have been at the back […]
Linklog for June 29, 2019: Massive Link Dump
I haven’t done linklogs in a while, but I have been storing and retracing links, so have a massive link dump: I try not to linklog paywalled posts, but this Patreon-only post from Colleen Doran is worth it to me: Consistent Focus, Consistent Action. It is the first of a series in which she discusses […]
I have too many projects, so I started some more projects
Over the past few weeks, updating Obsession Du Jour and the Patreon has more or less fallen by the wayside as I found myself too busy with my day job and other activities to spend an hour at a time on writing text. While occasionally something like an illness happens that prevents me from working […]
Learning Jekyll
I’ve been trying to teach myself how to use Jekyll to see if it can help me set up static websites that aren’t dependent on a CMS with a database. My needs have changed and for the state of my webcomic site today, WillowCMS is very over-engineered. For example, I no longer allow comments on […]
Linklog: Catching Up With A Lot Of Stuff
I let the linklog slide again for about what, a week? I’ve been a little under the weather while also working on commissions as well as catching up on a backlog of errands. But I have been using my Mastodon.social account as a scratch pad using both a Content Warning and a tag for links […]
Links for January 19: Crumbling pachyderms, Ugly Fruit
The Mastodon is Crumbling post. To be honest, I can’t give this my full attention right now, but it’s here in case I want to read what it actually says. The Ugly Fruit thread from Sarah Taber on Twitter, who understands agricultural supply chains better than most.
Links for the day: Chronicles of the Witch Queen, Lynxlet, Sweet Potato Curry
A new Chronicles of the Witch Queen story, Castle of the Gods, started on Wednesday at the slightly more relaxed schedule of three per week. Read it, starting at this page: http://cotwq.thecomicseries.com/comics/314 I’m pretty much only the webmaster for this webcomic at this point, but I love it for how surreal it’s gotten. This one […]
