Douglas Adams and Zaphod Beeblebrox, a little author + character portrait I've done for #TowelDay.

@Ventronik I adore it, it was the first version of the story I'd experienced as a kid.

I am therapeutically self-applying these items at various points throughout the day. #TowelDay

"The Internet Origin Story You Know Is Wrong -- The history of the internet is repeatedly reduced to the story of the singular Arpanet. But BBSs were just as important—if not more."

Do you know any good transcribers looking for work?

I've finally begun transcribing the one of my podcasts which has been lacking that form of accessibility. Now you can read along with that time I showed Gila 1992's "Sneakers."

I'd love to have more of these done, and we're slowly working on them in our rare bits of spare time, but we're never going to get through the backlog without some help.

I'm not looking for AI transcription; I have bots too. I know about the huge faceless sites and services, but I'd vastly prefer to pass the work to an individual human person from the small-business/freelance world if at all possible.

I don't have a massive budget (it's a non-commercial free-content pod I fund totally out of my pocket) but I want to pay a fair price. I can supply a bot-generated first draft to work from.

DMs open!

@thegibson Fuck.

@thegibson Only 36 years late. ​

There's scuba apparatus kept on-hand in the storage closet of an underwater submarine for unexpected emergencies.

@RadicalEdward How much Keeffe is in this movie, anyway?

@thegibson Or the web3 crash is so far along that they're desperately scraping the very bottom of their spam lists for any longest-of-the- long-shot marks.
