NOTE: As of May 4th, 2025, I am taking a severe hiatus from all writing projects. I’ve been utterly broken and humbled, and don’t consider any of these essays to be sufficiently right anymore. This may change, but consider everything here as an archive of someone’s efforts who no longer exists.
My commonplacing:
- NOTE: I’m migrating my commonplacing to this notes page, and the websites will present only non-obvious things.
- Trendless Tech — on computers
- Toolbox — useful tools, mostly using computers
- AdequateLife — on what
- Gained InSite — on why
- TheoLogos — on the numen
- EntertainingSpace — fun things
- Not A Genius — on everything else
In case you’re curious, my general method for commonplacing/learning.
Other one-offs and obsolete projects:
- How to Stop Looking Autistic/Start Looking at Autism — on image management
- Ridic Holidays — silly things people celebrate
- Strange Bible Verses — bible verses of non-pithy passages
- Old-Timey Marketing — 19th-century fashions rendered terrifying
- Weird Al’s History of Pop Music — commentary on pop music by a funny songwriter
I understand advertising, but hate doing it, and I’m always open for paid work.
Everything I make is CC0 (with stipulations). Most people don’t do much with what I make, so please share it or contribute input/ideas if anything is helpful.
