Simplicity rearranged

unmonetizable content since 1997


Max and me

Max McCoy is a journalist from Kansas; you can check out his excellent work at the Kansas Reflector. I visited my favorite book store over the weekend and picked up a couple of volumes I’ve been looking forward to. I put one of them on my desk, just in front of my display, and opened a browser window. One of the pages I brought up was a recent piece by Max McCoy that included a photo of his dining room table. And there was a weird coincidence:

I haven’t started the book yet. By the way, the other book I bought was Nexus, by Yuval Noah Harari.



About Me

I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer (among other things) located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. No surprise, she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.

Check out my newsletter, Artisanal Scribbles, where I’m grappling with writing, authentic human authorship, integrity, and the craft of beauty in the AI age. You can also find some of my old software projects at GitHub. Nothing very impressive. I mostly wrote tiny utilities in Python and shell scripts. I’m mostly retired from coding nowadays.

I find myself suddenly de-corporatized (their choice, not mine). To help keep the lights on, buy me a coffee!
