This page is hosed at micro.blog, which excellent. You should use it. My home page on the World Wide Web uses the Mythos Theme. This theme is slightly modified. Headings and some other text are use the Cartridge typeface.

Content

As my homepage on the World Wide Web, my site contains information about me and an index of many of the pages on this site. There are other, hidden pages. Can you find them?

I have a lot of typos in my writing. Given how poorly I can spell and how fast I type, it is little wonder than I manage to type and spell anything correctly.

Generative AI Content

I use AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, even Apple Intelligence at times) here and there for text and images. I might have entire posts of it! I strive to tag/categorize this content. You’ll often see the robot emoji (🤖) denoting such content. Also, I usually refer to AI generated stuff as coming from “the robot,” as in, “here is what the robot said.”

Occasionally, I may neglect to tag the content as AI generated. Or, I may just not care It should be obvious, right? I mean, if it’s not obvious, then we’re all fucked so what are we even talking about in this disclaimer section? Let’s just have the robots do all of the work, go “touch grass,” drink and be merry as the world burns…or does’t burn and we’re all fine. No one really knows. Even this guy is straight up “fuck if I know, bruh."

Socrates thought writing was going to destroy civilization. Imagine how he’s react to a typewriter! That guy was a grade-A jerk, though. And have you ever considered how odd it was that Plato thought it was a good idea, you know, for his and his family’s well being, to write up the philosophy of a person who had just been executed by the state. Shouldn’t Plato have thinking “I’m pretty sure if I write this up, I too will get murdered by Athens”? That guy had, if you’ll pardon the expression, real grit.

Yeah, so with AI: who knows?

Wow.

I made that kind of dark and weird.

Anyhow.

Listen, I’ve been trying to be more positive in these gentleman years of my life. The patina of living adds a certain ease in spanning time and exhaustion of being cynical all of the time. So, let me just put it this way: I have some AI generated stuff in here because I think it’s quality or, at the very least, helpful. Or at the very, very least, fun.

Your pal, in apologies, Coté.

P.S.: Now on with the rest of the colophon.

Weblog

The point of the weblog is to collect/publish interesting links, little thoughts, and longer pieces of writing. I put videos and pictures of mine here too, and sometimes other videos and pictures I like. My newsletter is cross-posted here, as well and self-recommending things like podcasts and such. You can see a compact list of posts and categories in somewhat hidden page that, now, you know about.

In theory, you can see every picture posted here on the pictures page.

Posts that are mostly generated by AI are marked with the robot emoji (🤖). I may neglected/forget to do this for some.

I have had a homepage and weblog since the late 90s. Sadly, much of that content is missing. One day I’ll clean-up and import piles of weblog backups I have, but in the meantime, you can look at the archive of my blog. I hope there’s nothing shitty in it.
