Current projects

Finishing the work on a couple of sites, to clean up some formatting things and reaction to Dark Mode clients. I also have an ongoing number of projects to keep the house in shape and ideas for future plans.

Currently Reading

This is a table of the currently on-the-go books that I am some way through:
The Age of Surveillance Capitalism Shoshana Zuboff
The Eye of the Master Matteo Pasquinelli
Cyberselfish Paulina Borsook
Cyberlibertarianism David Golumbia
Black and British David Olusoga
Introduction to Digital Humanism Hannes Werthner
The Alignment Problem Brian Christian
Digital Empires Anu Bradford

2026 appears to have a good twenty or so books in the pipeline. I would hope to read them all.

Social Media

I have reduced all social media presence to Mastodon only and I have implemented restrictions to ensure I don’t spend more time than is necessary on the app / site. Similarly, I have made a conscious effort to subscribe to YouTube channels using an RSS reader to ensure that I alone have control of what I see. Discovery is limited like this, but that is a good thing.

Photos

I have over 10K photos on Flickr, in breach of the free account limits (it never used to be), so I have requested a download of all my photos. Flickr still haven’t replied or sent mea download link, so they can get stuffed for the time being. I have local copies of all the originals and backed them up.

I’m still thinking of hosting them somewhere but I want to avoid another service for obvious reasons. I’m not sure if micro.blog can successfully handle what I want. So I’m going to put it on the forum to get some ideas / pointers.
