I like my games
to be the same.
I always return
the way I came.
This frees my mind
to contemplate
philosophies
in aggregate.
Annoyance when
things deviate
can turn my actions
reprobate.
I do not mean
to be the bearer
of bad dogness;
it’s just my terror
coming out
when things surprise —
so in advance:
I apologize.

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!
