I used to draw. I have a weakness towards watercolor paints, and used to be kinda good with coal + pencil + ink. I think one of my "New Year Resolutions" should be getting back to the one thing that used to completely get my mind off of everything. -

I was today years old when I learned that a manger is a box animals eat out of. -

I find it confusing in general, not just with WordPress (although WordPress is extra confusing since I think you can have both multiple tags and categories, yeah?)

I really do love this time of year — the Christmas music, the twinkle lights, the woman in front of me in line at Costco who just told her husband, “We can give your cousin a pile of dog shit for all I care.” -

Fun Fact: it's been almost six years since I started working on the Web and I still suck at git. I get by, but deep down I am secretly hiding the feelings of incompetence and terror I have whenever I use it. 😅 And I "secretly" hope I'm not alone! 😂 -
Dec 8, 2019, 12:46 PM -05:00 In the Beginning Was the Website
I don't think I've ever felt quite as old as I felt when, last year, I discovered the IndieWeb, an online community of people dedicated to resurrecting the personal website.
This makes me feel old because I've maintained some sort of personal web presence/site/blog since around 1998 or so, when I made my first hand-coded HTML pages available online at U of T. Apparently, enough time has past not only for the concept of a "personal website" to have become quaint and old-fashioned (displaced by a cluster of much more convenient social media sites) but also for it to have been picked up again by an enthusiastic band of hobbyists with a taste for the retro and a fondness for old-school fan pages.

I think I was listening to "Episode 11: Germanic Ancestors" but I'm not sure how much of it will make sense if you haven't listened to the previous episodes (unless you have a background in this stuff?)

Well, as the title suggests, if you are interested in the history of English and other Indo-European languages, including Farsi, then yes :)

There would be a dramatic bit where some Indo-European suddenly decides to say an "F" instead of a "P" and is henceforth know as "Proto-Germanic-Man". Or some random sheep herder develops a speech impediment and starts saying "S" instead of "K" and they are henceforth "Satem-man".

@englishhistpod It's like, you know how superheroes have catchphrases, and a superhero origin movie will always have a bit where the hero gets to say the catch phrase and that's how you know they're for real now? We need a movie like that for the origin of German or Sanskrit. -

Learning about Indo-European migration on @englishhistpod and it sometimes feels like I'm listening to DnD prep or superhero origin stories -

"And here we have the origin of the Germans! Over here we have the very first ancestors of the Celts and the Romans!". I feel like each branch needs a character sheet with all their different powers.
