Negate This

Dreary March has passed us by.

Over the past two weeks, I've worked on adding a number of notable features to my website: Adding Microformats to all of my pages.

Every once in a while, I partake in interesting interactions between what is old and what is new.

If you experience game breaking stuttering in Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition on Linux, try switching to an older version of Proton, such as 3.x Back in 2013 or so, I played Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition on an old VAOI laptop that at one point ran…

I've done a disservice to the pages of Marguerite Porete's Mirror and the works of Hadewijch by not etching them into my thoughts, into the folds of my brain.

I was reading some work on Nietzsche's ethics today, and some of it made me think back on the Mirror.

"The Mirror of Simple Souls" is a heretical piece of work, and that Marguerite Porette was burned at the stake for heresy and for the circulation of the Mirror is no surprise.

Recently, I was browsing Hacker News and came upon Jakob Greenfeld's piece The simple system I'm using to stay in touch with hundreds of people.

It's been a couple of weeks since I've set up my ThinkPad T60 to be my sorta daily driver, so I've had plenty of time to test things out on it and configure it to my liking.

When I choose to sit down and write, it's a drawn out choice, one that I deliberate on for days on end before finally sitting down and doing it.

My current daily driver is a Thinkpad E590 that I was gifted /in order to/ have a laptop for college.

Beauty and the beautiful aren't often on my mind, in any sense of the terms.

Was there ever a point where television was an enjoyable experience?

"Man is the greatest being endowed with independence, creativity and consciousness, and a beautiful creature who champions justice.

A couple of weeks ago I revisted the McMansion Hell blog for the first time in probably a couple of years, and boy was it as "fun" as I remember.

Earlier today I read a piece on the incredible Hegel's Bagels site.

I apologize for the hiatus these past couple of weeks.

I consider an important aspect of myself to be the fact that I'm vegan.
