Watching 'Her' in 2026: Your Next Relationship Could be With Computer Code

I’m thinking about the complexities of love, relationships, and the potential for emotional connections with AI. Is non-monogamy a requirement? Should we redefine what sex is?

Inkwell’s recap feature is not exactly 100% accurate, but I think I like what it suggests!

It’s late… but I think I finally got my blog lists recommendations working on my Blogrolls page… whew.

Finished watching: Better Call Saul S6E10, Nippy 📺

Good to go back to this show. I’m almost done. Seems like they are summing up… once Saul Goodman, always Saul Goodman.

Yesterday at some point at work I just reached my limit. I got up, left the office, took a nap at home, and reconsidered how to start scheduling myself out of meetings and stop replying to most emails. I’m worried about pushback but I need to face this worry.

Because I keep finding web pages listing other web pages (different blog lists that list independent blogs), I decided to add a category on my blogroll just for those. It also features my first pixel-art “masterpiece” and two quotes: one from a song I like and another from a movie I like.

I’m still working out the kinks (it required fixes for my CSS specifically for that image, and a new blogroll means a new shortcode in Hugo), but it should be fully operational shortly.

All the good indie web stuff I’ve posted and I didn’t talk about the shows I want to watch, the good movies I did watch, and I also want to keep trying for the video game stuff… I need a productive staycation.

Bubbles, Scrolls, and made by a human seal of approval

Exploring Bubbles, a blog-focused site similar to Hacker News; Scrolls, a newsletter tool for Fediverse Indieweb geeks; and a JSON-based tool to ensure a blog is made by a human rather than AI.

I haven’t heard about Bubbles before, but one of the folks I’ve added recently to my feeds introduced me, indirectly. Seems very promising for us bloggers! I signed up (basically, all you need is a Mastodon account).

My post about writing emails gets people to... write me emails. Good stuff.

There’s been a notable increase in emails from readers and fellow bloggers, especially because of my post about… writing each other emails. Who would have thought?
