\"my<\/p>\n

I posted a little thing over at librarian.net<\/a> and I figured I should pop over here also and say hello. There’s been a lot of talk, in these weird and troubling times, about “owning your own content” which is what this blog does, though it’s doing that through a CMS that is itself sort of weird and troubling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I am fine but like that kid with the oatmeal, I just haven’t had much to say. Been doing stuff locally. Getting my work (mostly) done. Writing my book reviews<\/a>. Chatting a bit on social media (I’m on Mastodon<\/a> and Bluesky<\/a> with some regularity) but not much here. No real reason. Some of it is vaguely negative stuff I haven’t wanted to talk about (house stuff getting resolved, health stuff I am working through, more elders in my life who have died, the state of the US) because I don’t really use this space for that. If I see you in person I am happy to talk about it. Mostly.<\/p>\n

It’s been porch weather which is terrific. The parade came through<\/a> as it regularly does and we all enjoyed it. Half-year JIMSMAS happened, though I haven’t gotten any pictures of it up yet. I put a landline phone in my house and connected it to my cell via bluetooth<\/a> and have started enjoying making telephone calls. Sometimes. Hoping to check back in here more often than every six months. We’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n
