Happy 2023! A new year, a clean page, a blank slate.

I’ve been a Twitter user for a number of years, but some of the changes being made over there are somewhat concerning, and a Twitter-like federated social network called Mastodon has gained momentum as a Twitter alternative.

Someone here in Charlottesville has started a Charlottesville-centric Mastodon instance over at https://cville.online/, which is pretty cool.

If you live elsewhere, there are numerous instances you can join, all of which interact with one another. Several popular ones are https://mastodon.social/, https://mas.to/, and even https://mastodon.scot/!

You can find me over at https://cville.online/@hchorey. Feel free to register and come say hi.

Autumn doesn’t officially start until Saturday, but we’ve been having a preview here in Charlottesville for the past week or so. Crisp mornings, cool evenings, leaves beginning to change. It’s raining today; everything is green-come-colorful outside, and there are drops on the windows. It’s a wonderful sound in the background as I work the day […]

"And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.'" – Luke 2:10 (ESV)   Come, thou long-expected Jesus, born to set thy people free; from our fears and sins release us; let us find our rest in thee. Israel’s […]
