| Solderpunk's Phlog
Bitter complaining about the state of the modern internet,
interspersed with electronics tinkering, homebrew computing and try
to live simply, minimally and deliberately. So much fun at parties
Except for posts which are replies to things posted in Gopherspace,
are otherwise only likely to be of interest to the Gopher community
everything posted here is also posted to my gemlog at:
