Woo!

  • Wool, Honey, and Poppies

    <p>In the town of Cedar, MI, there&#8217;s a store called Wool and Honey. They sell (wait for it&#8230;) wool. And honey. And also alpaca fiber and other things, but you get the idea. We first found this place while taking part in the West Michigan Yarn Quest, where you travel around the state visiting yarn [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://topher1kenobe.com/wool-honey-and-poppies/">Wool, Honey, and Poppies</a> appeared first on <a href="https://topher1kenobe.com">As it were...</a>.</p>

  • Crazy stuff I did on the internet in the old days

    <p>The internet was a pretty different place when I got on it in 1994. Using the internet with a GUI (normal computer) was a rarity. Nearly everyone online used the command line when interacting with the internet. Email, Web Browsing, Gopher, Telnet, FTP, Usenet, all of it was on the command line.

  • Look at all the nyms!

    <p>According to dictionary.com, &#8220;The ending -nym or, most often, -onym is a combining form from Greek that means “name.”&#8221; Most people are familiar with words like synonym, pseudonym, etc. The other day I saw one I had never heard of, so I did a very little bit of research and found some interesting ones.

  • Aurooba’s Super List Block

    <p>I&#8217;m writing this post to have a platform for the Gutenberg block &#8220;Super List Block&#8220;, made by my friend Aurooba. For a while now I&#8217;ve been disappointed by the lack of features in the default block, and overwhelmed by features in more advanced blocks, and been looking for a happy middle ground.

  • Introducing Topher.How

    <p>I&#8217;ve produced a lot of content in the last 15 years or so, but nearly all of it has been for other people, and posted places I don&#8217;t own. A couple years ago I was thinking it would be cool to have all of that listed in one place, to make something like a portfolio.

  • Secret Of The Old Post Box Audio Book

    <p>When I was very young, too young really, my mom subscribed me to the Weekly Reader Book Club. Some of my favorite books of all time came from that club. Secret Of The Old Post Box was one of them. I did a review of it some years ago.

  • Apnea, CPAP, ASV, and just breathing

    <p>I&#8217;ve known I have sleep apnea for years now, but when my doctor told me it&#8217;s actually quite dangerous we scheduled a test. So in the spring of 2024 I did a home sleep test. I wore a harness on my chest, a nasal cannula, and a blood meter on my finger.
