This book shop in Rome, near piazza, Navona, carries signed copies of my book SHE SEDUCED ME: A LOVE AFFAIR WITH ROME.

Please support them by stopping by getting a copy. They are an independent bookstore. Right now we are making arrangements for me to do a public presentation of my book around the middle of September. Exciting.

OTHERWISE BOOKSHOP! @bookstodon #bookstodon

Every time I see some quantity of stuff described as "circling the world X times" or "from here to the moon and back", I imagine an episode of The Worlds' Most Dangerous Jobs where boats full of hard-bitten, grizzled sailors, stringing impossibly long lines of corn dogs across the Pacific, low low-earth-orbit astronauts piling huge stacks of Peeps miles up to the night sky.

I wasn't gentle.
The light died around me, and
I raged against it.

In 1995 I was fascinated by this logo, and I still like how it looks today. It's a great mid-90s logo, with the serif font, the gradient, and the implied depth.

Netscape Navigator was a great product for the time. I wonder if any lines of code in Firefox, the browser I use now, survive from back then...

Thousands of archivists and librarians over here gesticulating *yes, finally, we've been saying this for a decade+*

I took these #moss photos during my walk at the #UWarboretum here in #Seattle yesterday.

I like continuous mixes, but I keep finding albums that have silence between tracks yet still start every song at the end of the previous track. Often with just half the first note.

That isn't a continuous mix, it's a choice to annoy people whose music players don't do gapless playback.
