My offer stands. If anyone needs a hand finding work, let me know. I’ve already reviewed 9 websites and 4 CVs. Which, by the way, were rad.

I keep seeing those layoffs and it makes me sad. Capitalism is punching down right now. Forcefully. Maybe I can help someone survive it. Hit me up if that’s you.

"… The survey will be open until Sunday, 5th May 2026 …"

5th May (yesterday) was Tuesday.

Today (Wednesday) is 6th May, it seems that the survey is still open.

What's occurring?

Grandpa Simpson raising a fist and yelling at clouds. I attended an online close-reading™ of Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil, and let's just say, I came away disappointed, and so I wrote about it.

I’ve been doing some "spring cleaning" in my digital garden. 🪴
I finally got my personal site’s Community & Advocacy page updated. It’s now a central hub for the groups I lead, including:
• MultAbilities: My peer-support groups for the multiply disabled (now with a new GroupMe outpost for low-friction, SMS-friendly chat).
• Imago Dei: A dedicated fellowship for Christians with disabilities.
• Online Ed Advocacy: Focusing on accessible digital learning.
I also made the executive decision to kill my Clubhouse group. As someone who prefers text-centric, asynchronous communication, a voice-only platform was a high-energy drain that just didn't fit my life or my advocacy.
Focusing on "bones-of-computing" logic and low-cognitive-load spaces from here on out.

Take a trip down memory lane with the journey of Linux’s humble beginnings. From a personal project hacked on a simple Unix‑like kernel for his 386 PC in 1991 to powering everything from enterprise clouds to edge devices — a true testament to what can happen when individuals share code, ideas, and trust.

As a heterodox thinker, I notice a similar apophatic misalignment as atheists (which is also why atheism isn't a religion).

I lay out why heterodox connexions don't tend to last. It's a feature, not a bug.
