A suitcase full of books: Kafka, Camus, Achebe, Ibn Battuta, Calvino, Cervantes, Moller, Eco, Mosley, and Manguel.

That feeling when you checkout a library book, start reading it, and have a burning desire to annotate the book and underline numerous passages. I'd imagine there's a word for this in some language.

Best thing I've done for my website recently: implemented a bit of javascript. When you type <ctrl+s> it will toggle off or one the stylesheet.

Looking at my website without stylesheets has given lots of insight into the semantic markup which in turn helps with accessibility.

One thing that I know I need to do is go back and add ALT tags to images. I have some but not reliably. And in cases where there isn't an ALT tag, determine if it should be ARIA hidden.

Feeling out of sorts, so I chopped some vegetables and started cooking and listening to Black Sabbath. Feeling more human and connected.

@maenad Nice. I haven't followed New Mexicon all that much (as its not yet been feasible). I'm in northern Indiana (near Notre Dame), and with 4 children ages 17 to 22, it's been full-time fledging of adultlings.

Spent a bit of time adding some javascript to my site. This time, I added hotkeys. I used the MousetrapJS (https://craig.is/killing/mice) to bind keys. My favorite: `ctrl+s` will toggle my site's CSS (something I found myself doing with regularity in Firefox).

I documented some changes in my CHANGELOG - https://takeonrules.com/metadata/changelog/

As the spouse/partner of a small shop owner, everyday I come to our store, I am prepared for all the odd tasks. Today it's inventory and getting change for the drawer.

Books I Read (or Started to Read) in 2018 // Take on Rules

In 2019, I completed reading twenty-two books. This feels inadequate.

My step-daughter, who turned 18 today and seeks to be a professional theater actor, asked me to help her open a retirement account because in her words "it's on me to save for my retirement." I have complex emotions about this: "Wow, she's thinking ahead more than I ever did." and "Fuck the very sentiment of personal retirement savings as advocated by capitalist neo-liberal society always ready to decry austerity measures." and "Why is the US such a shitty hellscape of deluded faux idealism? "

Just finished Ebony Elizabeth Thomas's "The Dark Fantastic". As I got started, I had to frequently stop and walk around, to let the depth of what I was reading sink in. And take root. Two years ago, I committed to reading at least 10 books written by women. This year, I'm committing to reading at least 10 fantasy/sci-fi books by non-white people. #weneeddiversebooks
