The Reason You Prohibit Things

from Open for Business [alt+shift+b] in technology

an hour ago
You want less of them. That’s the reason. You may find that it’s too hard to stop people from doing the thing, literally blood, sweat, and tears trying to prosecute people, but that’s a different thing.

My Half-Anniversary with Starlink

from Open for Business [alt+shift+b] in technology

20th Aug 2026
It was six months ago today that I first plugged my computer into the Starlink router, connected to the standard-sized Starlink “dish” (it’s a panel) that was flopped down haphazardly in my back yard.

Crazy With the Heat

from Open for Business [alt+shift+b] in technology

16th Jul 2026
Heat is awful, humidity makes it worse, and deathly stillness renders it just about insufferable. The other night my neighbor was standing on his porch. He blew a smoke ring. Next morning, it was still there, though the morning fog had made it soggy so it had sunk to the ground.

First, Do Harm

from Open for Business [alt+shift+b] in technology

2nd Apr 2026
It’s doubly tragic that just days before Easter there’s need to address the appalling fact that more and more countries in the world, and a dozen states, now have laws that allow the killing of killing their citizens and residents.

A Year With the Mini M

from Open for Business [alt+shift+b] in technology

1st Jan 2026
Just over a year ago I got my Unicomp Model M Mini, a newly manufactured version of what is in my estimation the best computer keyboard ever, the IBM Model M SSK. The Minis and the SSKs are like a regular IBM Model M, but they don’t have a number pad at the right, so I can put...

DeltaForce 65: Das Wilde Keyboard

from Open for Business [alt+shift+b] in technology

18th Dec 2025
One of my all time favorite brands is Metadot’s Das Keyboard. They typically don’t include all the bells and whistles, but they are built so well. But what if a Das Keyboard had all the current extras?

Fields or Hutches?

When I was small, living on a small farm near a college town, my father fell for an idea proffered by the Ralston Purina Company of Checkerboard Square in St. Louis.

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
