Welcome!
Thank you for visiting.
My name is Daniel Howard. I grew up in Chicago, and I live in
San Francisco Brooklyn
Mountain View Sunnyvale, CA. I was born in 1976:
the year of the American Bicentennial. I have a Bachelor's degree in
English Rhetoric, but I make my living as a Systems Administrator.
I enjoy writing, and I started publishing on the web in 1995, and
an online journal in 1996. Truth be told, I post more often
to am pretty over Social Media, but you can check out:

Movies I Have Watched Recently
Late last year I started watching movies on Fandango At Home, partly just to get away from the Big Tech Companies a bit. They have an extensive catalog and now I feel like I have re-discovered the old Netflix DVD service: I can just browse endless movies or search one up and have a good time for a few bucks. Here’s some movies I have watched since October.
I heard on that ultra-trendy news site, NPR, that Social Media was On The Way Out in 2026. What comes next? Well, I kinda like blogs. And I’m not the only one.
Around the end of the year, I sort through the photographs that have accumulated, and recall Things That Happened.
I don’t like the Cybertruck. They’re dumb. But they’re so over-the-top dumb that they’re kinda charming. Like a pug. Those poor dogs who got bred by dumb humans to look so dumb they can’t breathe.
Bicycles have no a pillars, just tired meat motors trying to get somewhere on a hot day.
We follow the Jobs from place to place. We strike camp when we need to. We rely on a web of relationships. We have no dominion.
Fuck those Oligarchs. We have climate change to solve.
