January 5, 2024 Phillip Blancher

I wish I could fly. Or at least, I wish I could fly through migrating my site. As readers know, I fled the Nazi platforming site Substack and took my toys with me. Well, I […]

Friday wrap #38 – Summer’s last gasp

October 27, 2023 Phillip Blancher

The fifth-last day of October should be cold, rainy, and brisk. Forecasters should be warning of frost and the need for snowsuits under Halloween costumes next week. Instead it was 22 Celsius and partly sunny […]
