Would you mind linking to your live-stream recordings? I love listening to choral chants and whatnot. Very soothing.

Domains around here are amazingly creative. It's an important part of the package, and if it delivers a surprise and a chuckle like this all the better.

Recenty my browser's home page is a real-time stream of randomly clipped newspaper articles going back to the 1600s: https://newspaperarchive.com/clippings/

It's fun to see what people are digging into the newspaper archives for, and to speculate how it may relate to present or future events.

Note: paid subscribers see more (which I am for family history purposes).

Ditto. I put everything in newsblur and get a holistic view of topics I care about, and can zoom in and read articles when they grab me.

Since when did face-blockers look like a vortex into another dimension? Creepy.

I don't use Firefox often because of the constant updating that prevents me from using it right away. Chrome and Brave don't seem to do that, at least not in the same obvious way that Firefox does.

Whenever I start up Firefox it tells me to wait a few moments while it updates. The browser obviously doesn't care about me. It has its own agenda. This is why I won't use it.

The gtd system by David Allen and a blank text file will get you 90 percent there. An app like Dynalist pro will get you the other 10 percent.

The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The next best time is now.

This also applies to getting a pardon.

Thanks for sticking up for animals who cannot advocate for themselves. I consider you a hero.

The old Slashdot. I also had a website called hardcorelinux.com where I evangelized Linux, and I miss that too.

I work at a homeless shelter where a young guy in his mid twenties recently had a stroke that left one of his hands completely limp. He's active and outdoors all day, but cannot self-isolate at night because he lives in a shelter.

I was shocked when he told me because he's "fit as a fiddle" otherwise. This article makes some sense of it.

My jaw dropped as soon as I saw this submission. As a Christian who has recently gotten into crypto, I thought it might be Ripple / XRP that would fullfil this prophesy.

It looks like it will be Microsoft. Feeling some serious chills!
