I loved your little narrative on watches. Sometimes I cringe at my peers throwing around their smartwatches like they're made of nothing: they're just a total redundancy to their phones, anyway (they won't admit that, though).

Thank you! It is really nice to know that you liked it. Yes people do get wrapped up in tech sometimes, when the relationships that technology helps us cultivate are the important things. In real life my grandpa is a very bad tipper and wears a Timex.

Definitely. I forgot to add that I own a single mechanical watch, maybe from the 60s, but can absolutely relate to much of what you wrote.

Interesting layout, I haven't yet seen a PDF as a site index before. Come to think of it, that could probably make things a whole lot easier to design! maybe just a little slower to load.

It really does make things easier if you just want to upload a .docx file online.

No update today, just a vert align adjustment

I'm in another one of those moments...Should I use Pale Moon or Firefox? I had Pale Moon freeze for a solid five seconds trying to load an Imgur gallery just now, but Firefox doesn't have a tabs-on-bottom feature :(

If its compatible with your system you can try Arctic Fox, Pale Moon but with the bugs worked out.

i believe you can do tabs on bottom with a custom CSS style for firefox, no?

I love your latest blog post "Light in the Dark." A transcendant or guiding purpose, whatever it is, always justifies patience and endurance. Too many today have lost any sense of a purpose and live in a daze, as if dead, and then consume entertainment and junk trying to fill that void a missing purpose left.

Thank you! Indeed. That is a very good point! I am often reminded of a famous Nietzsche quote, to paraphrase: "If I have a why, then I can endure any how." Without a clear why, many seem to be drifting through life, and the "bread and circuses" only serve to further distract them from their purpose. Unfortunately, when someone feels "burnt out" from the toil of the day, they can think of little else...

...consuming some "junk" (food, drugs, media) before they go to bed and repeat the process again the next day. This is a cycle that I hope I can help everyone to break, including myself. Thanks again!
