Aha! I now have a way to generate a preview blog post, without adding it to the blog index, or the RSS/Atom/JSON Feed files.

This means I can preview blog posts without annoying feed subscribers. Apparently, I do have a few people who get my feeds!

Thanks to @amin for bringing this to my attention.

Allow me to introduce #MLL coding, the counterpart to #LLM vibe coding. MLL (Manual Labor of Love) coding allows one to spend more time doing a thing, and lets one get better, faster, and 100% understood code.

Getting the word out on my writing workshop! Here's a radio promo that's running in central Colorado.

Defy AI: A Free Writing Workshop

Featuring writer Nicholas Bernhard
Presented by the Limon Memorial Library

I really hope the Debian developers choose/vote not to allow AI use in the development of Debian.

@asakiyume Since I believe in choice, and you might want to save me the card processing fee, you can also mail your subscription request to:

Nantucket Lit
PO Box 337
Lafayette CO 80026

The options are:

- One free postcard
- Six months (12 postcards) for $30
- One year (25 postcards) for $60

My next postcard will be mailed out Wednesday, March 25. To celebrate Spring, this postcard features the poem Blessing of the Weeds by @asakiyume. This is a beautiful poem, and I am very, very proud to share it with my readers. Asakiyume is a superb writer of flash fiction; you should give them a follow!

If you'd like to subscribe, or want to receive Asakiyume's postcard for free, visit https://nantucketlit.com/postcards

UPDATE: this little pup has been claimed! Thank you everyone for your interest and support!

Can you make good use of an original Commodore PET computer? This one is yours for free if you can pick it up in Los Angeles (near USC). My parents bought it in 1978. It has the famous chiclet keyboard and integral cassette tape drive. It doesn't work at this point, which someone told me is probably due to some bad RAM chips but I don't actually know. The screen shows random squares when it's on.

Boosts for reach appreciated.

ETA: email me at [email protected] or DM me here.

On Thursday, March 26, I'll be hosting a Defy AI Writing Workshop in Limon, Colorado. The workshop is free, and all ages are welcome.

Come see some great artwork, and then write a story based on a piece. The only rule: you can't use any LLMs or other "AI", it has to come from you.

If you live in eastern Colorado, this will be a really fun event celebrating human creativity.

March 26, 5 PM, Hub City Senior Center. More at https://nantucketlit.com/defyai

A short vignette I wrote about late-night radio theater at a Waffle House. https://yellowscene.com/2024/01/09/wishful-thinking-at-the-waffle-house/
Wishful Thinking at the Waffle House - Yellow Scene Magazine

They say eating at a Waffle House is trench warfare. I told a friend that, to the contrary, every time I've gone to Waffle House at 2 AM I've been treated Overheard Christmas Eve conversation at the Waffle House

I went outside today and got some sun. It was good for my skin. But getting hot sun, in Colorado, in the middle of March, is not good. I am extremely worried about what this summer will look like.
