My friend Harry Marks is finally self-publishing a book after years of pitching agents and publishers. He’s a good writer and it’s only three bucks. Seriously, get this.
Days 20 & 21 — Crisis is an Audit • An Abundance of Potions by Jack Cheng
Crisis is an audit. It opens society’s books—and not just the financial. It takes stock of imbalances of care and access, the accrued debts of injustice.
“Nature has taught me that if humans don’t figure out what revolution really means, nature will make the revolution despite us.”

What my wife’s plans are when we get through this.
Doing some cleanup reminded me that…
- I still have my ZEOS Pocket PC (Cutting edge PC tech from 1991)
- It still boots (and runs for days on 2 AA batteries).
- Runs a DOS version of MS Works and can save to plaintext files which means…

- Me wondering what it might be like to try to write a book on here.
Yesterday’s quarantine cleaning was the library. So satisfying to have things back in shape again.
Battlestar Galactica – Show | SYFY
All four seasons available now online for free. Perhaps one of the best television series of all time.
Even if you’ve watched it before, it’s worth a run through a second time with series creator Ron Moore’s commentary podcast. So good.
Soul legend Bill Withers, singer of “Lean on Me” and “Lovely Day,” RIP / Boing Boing

Ain’t no sunshine when he’s gone.
How have I only just now heard of Visiting Kids?!?
I blame @sanspoint.

Hard, man. Hard.
I wrote about my Grandmother and Ellis a while back. (She taught Ellis how to read music) and confirming that story with his son Wynton.
