It’s been nearly five years since I last refreshed my website.
Hell, it’s been a year since my last blog post before my Interstellar review. As you can see with your own eyes, the design of this thing is much changed. Or, maybe you never saw the old place. Well, trust me. It’s a change. One of the big reasons for the change is the world outside.
It’s changed too and not for the better as of March the 3rd, 2026.
There are a lot of folks who are falling out of love with their platform of choice. Twitter became X. X became a haven for MAGA and Nazis and Grok became okay with making porn from any women still on the site. TikTok was owned by the Chinese authoritarian government (as if that wasn’t bad enough) but now it’s owned by supporters of the American authoritarian government. Facebook and Instagram are owned by assholes. And Substack platforms Nazis and facilitates betting on murder.
It’s not great.
The enshittification tide continues to rise. And it struck me (believe me I’m not the first) that we could all use a dose of the yesterdays. Yoosta. Yoosta be we posted our stuff on our blogs before Big Social came ’round. Yeah, maybe no one ever saw your ramblings. Maybe you couldn’t go viral. But virality brings with it the creeps. And maybe we don’t need anyone seeing our ramblings.
So, the fresh look is a look from the 2000s. Plain. Simple. A blog for god’s sake. How retro! Yeah.
I am completely ready for the low impact 2000s style of internet. Hope you are to. I’m not turning the comments on but you can follow me on Bluesky and start a conversation. Let me know if you like the new look. Leave me alone if you don’t. lol.
Hi ho.
