Dog TV
You know my opinion of squirrels:they’re as stupid as stupid can be.There are lots of kinds of creaturesBut squirrels? The worst, says me. My humans(you know, those guys with thumbs)turned on Dog TVand boy was it dumb. They claimed it would give mean interest boostbut I thinkthe thing is squirrel-produced. -Chocolate Continue reading

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 other blog, Techlimitics, where I’m grappling with the nature of simplicity. You can also find some of my minor software projects at GitHub. Nothing very impressive. I mostly write tiny utilities in Python.
I find myself suddenly de-corporatized (their choice, not mine). To help keep the lights on, buy me a coffee!
