    Firefox was running really really horribly on my system for a long time and I could not figure out why. It reached the point that I mostly switched to Chrome last week. But then I went in and was disabling some extensions which I suspected might be causing the problem. It seems to be running…

    sfgate.com: Michelle Obama, daughters in Africa to push girls’ education Its so glamorous to be in Africa as some crusader for women’s education, while millions of women in the United States are fucked over because the vast floods of illegal immigrants – mainly asians – pushes them out of educational opportunities in the United States.…

    The past few days the oligarchy has been shitting its pants and writhing. Over the Brexit, and also over Donald Trump. And I love it. Keep writhing fuckers. Writhe all the way to oblivion. And fuck “the economy”. It is overabundantly clear what “the economy” means and has meant for a long time: Fuckover of…

    What the vote in the the UK means is that Angela Merkel and her cohorts’ disastrous policies have wrecked the European Union. Angela Merkel’s infamous legacy will be the wrecking of the institution of the European Union which took many decades to build.

    I just discovered the best speed dial extension for Chrome. Up till now I wasn’t entirely happy with any of the speed dial apps I’ve seen. Many of them are what amount to extension spam – a variation of app spam in the Google Play store, plugin spam in WordPress, or search engine spam in…

    This is an update on my VR experience. The last time I wrote I was feeling somewhat nauseous but a lot of that had to do with my trying to experiment with things like trying to use Google Cardboard apps with the Gear VR. I also wrote that Land’s End gave me motion sickness. After…

    This is little prelude BWV 999 played on lute. Have been working on this piece on keyboard for a while. Technically not very difficult but just a lot of notes to memorize. I like this interpretation which is much slower than many others. Its nice to dwell in the chords and not rush through them.…
