Car Registrations pay for Roads? Nope.

September 14, 2023September 18, 2023 Mark Cathcart

This old nugget came up on social media again. At least here in Boulder County there is a belief that the number of unlicensed vehicles are the reason that the roads are in such a poor state of repair. Boulder … Continue reading Car Registrations pay for Roads? Nope.

I post from time to time about segments or whole This American Life shows. The program is remarkable both in content and durability. In a recent program, Act 1. was about Ghost stories. Specifically, it was about ghost stories in … Continue reading When Stories Go Bad

Mastodon – Gone

February 14, 2023February 13, 2023 Mark Cathcart

Just to wrap up on a less than perfect start to the year, I have no idea if my appeal on my suspension from Mastodon was even read, but the 30-days came and went, just like my Mastodon ID. Gone. … Continue reading Mastodon – Gone

Mastodon: Enter At Your Own Risk!

January 26, 2023May 15, 2023 Mark Cathcart

When twitter started its impending collapse right after Elon Musk took over, I like many jumped over to Mastodon, or more specifically to the mstdn.social[1]https://mstdn.social server. By now, anyone even vaguely interested knows “Mastodon” isn’t a thing, it’s not a … Continue reading Mastodon: Enter At Your Own Risk!

Admit It, Plastic Isn’t Really Recycled

June 1, 2022June 1, 2022 Mark Cathcart

Recycling plastic is increasingly pointless. In this post I provide some resources to learn why and some suggestions about what to do.

What’s Your Story?

April 1, 2022April 24, 2022 Mark Cathcart

I’ve followed Naomi Wu on twitter for a few years. Her youtube channel tech videos are legend. When you first see Naomi in pictures or video, it’s surprising, for some I can see it could be challenging. I could care … Continue reading What’s Your Story?

December 31, 2020January 28, 2021 Mark Cathcart

I’ve really stopped blogging as I didn’t want this blog to just become another place on the internet full of rants about the failings of Trump administration. In my drafts folder I have 33 posts, most of them finished, about … Continue reading Voting Systems – The Cherry and the Cream – ES&S

November 3, 2020November 2, 2020 Mark Cathcart

I’m not sure I accept the need for actual “slums”, but I definitely agree with the general proposal that cities need to “age in place”, both the people and the buildings. Gentrification has it’s place, but only when nothing else … Continue reading Cities Need Slums?
