2025/09/26

I lounged around the house this morning and got a late start. Talked about the Cat, Factorio, Lost Souls, and more Factorio. This algebra problem should not be this difficult but I keep trying to do it in my head.

2025/09/22

Paying attention to the “haiku autumn” season has made me see this first day of astronomical autumn in new light. Somewhat subdued and cloudy light this morning but the hints of autumn have been with me for some time. I … Continue reading →

Day 2664: Draggin’

tommw ·

2025/09/19

The dental excursion yesterday, while relatively uninspiring, still left me draggin’ my tail this morning. I got out, probably spent too much time walking-not-talking, but it’s a 1-day and I did The Thing. Talked about Heretical Fishing, Factorio, and a … Continue reading →

Day 2662: Thunder

tommw ·

2025/09/16

I didn’t see that coming. Obviously. Didn’t even see the lightning. Or the rain with drops so fat and heavy I felt them pelting my shoulders. Luckily there weren’t too many of them and my extra fleece protected me from … Continue reading →

Day 2661: Wet

tommw ·

2025/09/14

Yes, I walked in the rain. Put on my rain shell and did the thing because it’s a 2-day and a little water won’t hurt me. Talked about Forgotten Fleet, The Cat, and Factorio. Mostly Factorio. An the weather. I … Continue reading →

tommw ·

2025/09/11

Day 2657: Fallow

tommw ·

2025/09/09

I got out early this morning, in part because I’m against a 9am deadline and also because I was up and ready to go. Didn’t feel like waiting for sunrise. Talked about the Cat, Factorio, the Japanese 4-act structure Kishōtenketsu, … Continue reading →

Day 2655: Not 1000

tommw ·

2025/09/05

Halfway through the walk I realized that it’s only 635 days worth of haiku everyday. A good number but a typo in my tickler file put the notice on the wrong year. Missed it by that much. Also geese!

Day 2651: 1-Day

2025/08/31

So I was on the fence. Take the extra day off or walk the extra 1 day in a row. I walked. Obviously. I talked a lot about Factorio, Sam Blood’s Counterpart Academy Book 1 (A School So Gorgeous and … Continue reading →
