Tech cynicism

I’m tired of big tech. They get us hooked on their products. They track our every move, learning about our habits and interests along the way. They nudge us to buy things we don’t need. They feed us visions of a utopian future filled with smart devices and virtual assistants, but all I see are…

Ika-28 ng Linggo: Mac OS 9, Jiu-Jitsu

English Version Pinapahiram ng tito ko ang kanyang iMac G3 sa akin, at inuwi ko ‘to sa Philly nung isang araw. Mahilig akong gumawa ng zine sa HyperCard (Still Going at Cooking for Surveillance Capitalists palang sa ngayon), at sabik na sabik akong gumawa ng zine sa totoong kompyuter na makakapagpatakbo ng HyperCard! Ang iMac…

Week 28: Mac OS 9, Jiu-Jitsu

Tagalog Version I got an iMac G3 from my uncle the other day, and I brought it home with me to Philly. I’ve been having fun making HyperCard zines (Still Going and Cooking for Surveillance Capitalists so far), and I’m really excited to try making more zines on an actual machine! The iMac that I…

Ika-26 ng Linggo: Bayanihan, Debian, Kombucha

English Version Bayanihan Paulit-ulit akong namamangha sa konsepto ng bayanihan kaya tuloy-tuloy kong pinagaaralan at isinasagawa ito. Natapos ko kamakailan ang librong Practical Anarchism. Sinasabi sa libro na ang pag-susuporta at ang pagalaga sa isat-isa ay napakahalaga sa anarkismo. Nakakasabik ang aklat na ito, pero medyo malalim at masalimuot ang kanyang paksa. Ang susunod kong…

Week 26: Mutual Aid, Debian, Kombucha

Tagalog Version Mutual Aid I’m continually inspired to learn and to practice mutual aid in my daily life. I recently finished a book called Practical Anarchism that talks about how a lot of anarchism is supporting and taking care of one another right now. I thought it was inspiring, but the book was denser than…

Ika-23 ng Linggo: Pasko at ang Low-end na Kompyuter

English Version Pasko Nasa Maryland ako ngayon kasama ang pamilya ko. Bukod sa pagdadaldalan at pakikisalamuha sa pamilya, naudyok ko rin ang iba sa kanila na manood ng mga ibon at mga bituin! Medyo maraming puno dito kaya punong-puno ng ibon ang paligid namin. Hindi ko sila lahat makita, pero nakita ko ang tufted titmouse,…

Aside from catching up and hanging out with family, I got to convince some of them to go stargazing and birdwatching with me! We’re in a wooded area, so there are a ton of birds around here. I…

Still Going: A zine on using old technology

I recently wrote a short e-zine about my personal experience and feelings with using old hardware and software today. I figured that it would be perfect to write that in HyperCard which is a piece of software that was discontinued back in 1998. To run it, you would need to emulate an old Macintosh with…
