TIDAL is a great alternative to Spotify. They don't run ICE ads or invest in murder drones. Bonus: they pay musicians more fairly! Another bonus: their "shuffle" feature doesn't prioritize content based on advertising algorithms.

Spent the morning writing the first draft of a novel synopsis. It needs a lot of work, but I've met my day's goal. So now it's time to get back to comp reading. #amwriting

To create a Website with your own domain? There are lots of ways to do that. Personally, I use Wordpress to host my blog and Ionos to manage the rest of my site and domains. Wordpress probably is enough to get started. Other people use Squarespace, Wix, etc. Many options. wordpress.com

It’s a rainy day here, a vacation day. So I’m doing the only reasonable thing: Introducing my children to The Karate Kid (1984) and The Karate Kid Part II (1986). I almost forgot how great these movies are.

Working on my Warhammer Underworlds Sepulcher Guard. Once I figure out the paints on this model, I'll do the rest to match. Still have to do a dark wash, then corrosion wash on the copper, and finally highlight. #warhammer #minipainting

The moderation changes Meta is making across its platforms is another opportunity for me to remind you that having your own actively maintained site is one of the best ways to assure that people will always be able to find you, no matter what happens to the social media sites you don't control.

Yay! I finished the first draft of my novel, just in time to claim 2024! Time for a break to reset my head before diving into edits. Total came in at 76,140 words. I had predicted 80,000, so that's pretty good.
