Poor Taste

I have a grudge against spammers, SEO, and similar low-lifes. When and where I run Internet-facing web servers, I send “SEO search engines” down an infinite rabbit hole of web pages and images.

I took this picture on Drake Ave in Fort Collins. I was afraid to try to decipher the runes for fear of finding out there were some god damn neo-nazis in my neighborhood.

I got two similar ads on June 4, 2023, in one single article, from The Guardian.

We all know that Meat Loaf (the popular singer) can offer many life, career, and managment lessons.

But so does meatloaf, the iconic midwestern weeknight entré!

A few years ago, I realized I had a shoe box with several Raspberry Pi single-board computers just sitting around.

I came across an article saying that interfacing something called a “DHT-11” is a rite of passage for Raspberry Pi users.

I got a Roomba robovac a few months ago, partly because I hate vacuuming, partly because I grew up in the 1960s, when we would have vacations on Mars by 2025, and robot maids and butlers would take care of us.

I watched the Star Trek (original!) episode The Enemy Within the other day.

For a while in 2017 and 2018, I did some trolling on Nextdoor.com.

If you’re not familiar with Nextdoor, it’s a social network where your membership in various groups is based on your residence’s address. You can only see posts in your “neighborhood” and surrounding “neighborhoods”.

Nextdoor’s contents have been described as “stray cats and racism”.

I got an ad that featured this disturbing image.
