trenchant.org daily

The first trenchant daily entry was 25 years ago today.

In 2024, I read about a book a week.

I’ve felt this way for a while, but this year it seems more obvious: just use the web.

I let most of my twtr experiments die off, but moved two of them to The Fediverse.

The bizarre self-destruction of Twitter continues.

I still don’t have any time, but last year I bought an Analogue NT Mini Noir, which is a high quality (and expensive) way to play games that are decades old from their original cartridges.

I decided to start anew with this site because after 20 years some things didn’t make sense anymore, you know?

I’ve been driving a Tesla Model 3 about 60 miles a day in Silicon Valley for the past few months.

When I quit twitter at the start of this year I also shut down my bots.

When I was fixing referrer logs to be fun again I had low expectations – feedback via links is sort of a dying art.

Referrer logs used to be one of the fun on the early web, but they have been ruined.

Operating systems, like religion or politics, are a subject best not discussed in polite society.

This is a first attempt at creating a canon of books for product managers in technology companies.

The challenge with software is it gets worse over time.

Continuing with my previous work on glitching out old Sierra games, I’ve done some work to expand my virtual palette to include the SCI0 games (these include games like Space Quest III, Leisure Suit Larry 2, Colonel’s Bequest, and others.)
