Ok, I have a new year's resolution!
What? It's February.
Don't care.

Anyway, I resolve to take advantage of several places' unpopulated off seasons by exercising the skills to be fine with weather and obstacles that most others avoid.

Going solo in the remote harsh when no help will pass by... what could go wrong?

Big news: I published my first book!

"Tech Talks: How to Get Started Speaking at Technical Conferences" is now available at https://8149300343616.gumroad.com/l/tech-talks

This is your guide to stepping on stage as a first-time speaker, packed with tips and advice I wish I had when I started.

Challenge yourself to become a speaker in 2025 #NewYearsResolution

My new years resolutions are to treat more of those desperate to be taken seriously* much, much less seriously and to treat more of those who don't spare a thought to appearances† much more seriously.

* The next big thing's billions in budget don't need acknowledgement. Irrelevancy can be mistaken for importance when it can pay bribes.

† The spontaneous protestor getting pilloried for acting to keep the environment and climate action on the agenda matters.

Next year I wanna look more fancy and play card games in those fancy fuck cocktail bars.

If only I had friends nearby that had an immense knowledge of games that were last popular in the 60s.

New years resolution is to learn how to play Bridge OR have enough close friends to even attempt to play Bridge in the first place.

I dislike big players in just about any area. I like small "mom and pop" type places. That's also true for music gear. So here are some of the "little guys" that seem worthy of support:

Feel free to share your own "small player" suggestions! I am going to try to support some of these folks by buying something from them in 2025; a check mark means I did buy something from them.

Is it dumb to happy cry when you actually create something physical that you didn't think you could, and it actually LOOKS good?

I don't care, I'm happy crying for my first sticker made successfully after a few hours of figuring out the cutting machine and simplifying the process of how I'm gonna make stuff. ​

Might take pics tomorrow. I'm exhausted but so happy. #Progress has been made y'all. My #newyearsresolution is to open up my shop and start selling handmade and handdrawn stuff.

I don't have enough characters to describe how long its taken, and how many obstacles got thrown my way to be able to aquire all this stuff I needed to even begin this business adventure. Had a lot of help from kind friends, family members, and even strangers, and I am grateful for all of them. ​ Its really starting to feel like I can actually do this...I'm not used to this feeling lol. I hope people enjoy my stuff.

2024 is around the corner, here is my #books #reading #newyearsresolution:
1) "Game Balance" by @IanSchreiber and Brenda Romero.
An excellent book covering the topic in great details with exercises to complete along the reading. The first 3-4 chapters can be read as an general overview on how to build a balance but that might be a bit short if you want to make your own. So yeah, let's do that.

CrimethInc. 'Punk: Dangerous Utopia'. CrimethInc, 2023.
-
I've always loved @crimethincredux stuff. They were my re-entry into anarchism after wandering away in my 20s. Some might say CrimethInc's for the kids, and it is, but the rebellious joy and poetry of crusties and activists isn't present elsewhere at their scale and accessibility. Everyone needs a bit of romance and CrimethInc are romantics.
-
'Punk: Dangerous Utopia' is a zine version of the foreword to @activedistribution 's recent book, 'Smash The System! Punk Anarchism as a Culture of Resistance'. It's good. An overview of how punk came out of hippy counterculture, "like a bacteria that had become immune to antibiotics." (6)
-
The zine starts, "Let's imagine the ideal cultural vehicle for anarchism." (2) It goes on to describe what seems like an utopian vision but is really all the best parts of punk. CrimethInc's language is tasty. Witness: "Afflict the comfortable, comfort the afflicted." (2) There are many quotable parts to this zine.
-
With everything that has happened in the past year and is still happening, it's easy to become despondent, but I think like the punk practice of DIY, ya just gotta get out there and do something. Movement is life. Inertia is death. Maybe read this zine and get inspired to do more in '24.

Started a thread on my old account and my bird site account, figured I'd bring it back here:

My 2023 #NewYearsResolution is simple and achievable: make a serious dent in my extensive (and growing!) backlog of video games I need to play and/or finish. I ended 2022 by finally finishing #HorizonForbiddenWest after 9 months of wittling away at it. Now onto the next for 2023!
