Wait, how long?| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
A random memory of a cinematically bizarre moment.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Not to jinx it, but it I’ve managed to keep up with posting Wake Up Songs, so like last year, I will now share a bunch of uninteresting tidbits about this year’s songs that were in my head when I woke up.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Just like in previous years, here’s one sentence about everything I watched in 2024 (2022, 2023).| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
I wasn’t paying attention again, and just like last year I missed the Junkiversary of this site. This time by two months. Admittedly, I’ve had a lot going on.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Things have been quiet around here, at the web dev site, and over at Mastodon. Not that anyone has been wondering what’s going on with me, but if you have, here’s an update.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
I’ve been feeling uninspired and moderately guilty about not finding something new to post at Pixelfed. Part of it is me lazing around the apartment because it’s cold outside. I’ve also been using my Brain Power for stuff at work, which doesn’t help with the apartment lazing.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Last spring when I added TV Blurbs, my aim was to get them on the site and worry about improving the organization later. That day has finally arrived!| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
In 2023 I added the Wake Up Song section. Every morning I record whatever song is in my head when I wake up. I don’t have hard and fast rules, but generally the song has be in my head right when I wake up or within in a few minutes of waking up.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Last year I wrote one sentence about everything I watched in 2022. I enjoyed writing and re-reading last year’s so I guess it’s a Junk Drawer tradition now. The original post has a bit of information about my viewing habits in general as context for this list.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Seeing a couple of funny anecdotes of using Christmas or birthdays as a way to manage kid behavior reminded me of something similar my Grandma did when I was a kid.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
I’ve been a fan Michelle Barker’s writing for a few years. The first thing that made me understand CSS grid was her 2019 speaker deck Building Complex Layouts with CSS Grid. I’ve learned a lot reading her posts since then. | Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
I used to be clever. As proof I offer this impromptu Halloween triptych, originally posted over a six day period at Instagram in 2018.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
I had a big, weird, discombobulated dream last night. I remember one clearly part though.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
The other day The Lady and I were joking that the pets think of her as The Treat Bitch and/or The Brushing Bitch. This brought back a funny memory from a long ago job.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Well look at that. This site has been up for a year! One year and one month to be exact.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
On my big list of potential posts or reoccurring features I have an item noted as “LOL dream file”. Over the past year or so I’ve accumulated several pithy write-ups of ridiculous dreams and put them in file for future use. The day has come for this idea!| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
It’s finally happened, I have a Necropost! Or Retropost as I’ve settled on, at least for now. What’s a Retropost? It’s a post or writing that was originally posted elsewhere, or written prior to having somewhere to post.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
It’s been just over a month since I added TV Blurbs, Wake Up Songs and the latest from Pixelfed, and things have been moving along nicely. In that time I’ve added 26 blurbs, 20 songs, 6 photos, and no blog posts. Whoops!| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
After failing to deliver on my threat of unearthing old writing, at least for the time being, I’ve added some new stuff around here. | Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
This morning I was scrolling through my RSS reader, begrudgingly getting ready to start my day, when I happened on an interesting post by Terence Eden.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
The Super Bowl will always be one of my fond gay memories. And for more than one reason.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
The blogging momentum I had earlier in the month was rudely interrupted by a bout of Covid. My first, and hopefully my last. | Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
In my haste to publish a year-in-review post I forgot to add something that brought me a lot of joy. In fact, if I had to pick the thing that made me the happiest in 2022, this would be it. Our reactive dog made a dog friend.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Every New Year’s Eve I’m reminded of a phone call I had with my Dad. It was early in the evening on NYE in the mid 90’s. | Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Now that The Lady is enjoying The Sopranos Biennial I want to take a moment to brag about share one of my prize possessions. My Sopranos prop sale vintage wood lacquered tiger plaque.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Apparently I have a new tradition of watching a show’s finale without watching the entire show. Everyone I’ve mentioned this to has reacted the same, stunned and confused. Won’t you regret it? What if you want to watch the entire show later?? Trust me, I won’t.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Usually my neighborhood has a “go big or go home” holiday decoration vibe, and Halloween is no exception. This year has been a bit subdued though. | Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Not much going on here at the old Junk Drawer as I’ve been busy elsewhere.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Now that the weather is tolerable I’m out and about with more regularity. Please enjoy the scenery from a few recent constitutionals.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
I admire a nice labor of love. It’s always a joy to behold something that someone has put a lot of time and effort into.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Over the holidays last year I had a minor health scare…| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Earlier in the week my Mom sent an email with her usual innocuous subject “Hi”. Instead of an update about her bingo results, or the gossip at her assisted living facility, the email read “Was just looking around Facebook and found this picture of you”. Yikes.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
The brutal heat that’s seemed to go on for months finally subsided enough to resume a semblance of my daily constitutional, otherwise known as a walk. | Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
I watch a lot of TV. Not much of it is American. And mostly I watch crime drama. There’s no shortage of crime drama series from countries other than America.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Three years ago today we said goodbye to our beloved dog Rulo after a six month battle with lymphoma.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
When I was thinking about what to do with this site I spent some time looking around the IndieWeb Webring. I’d pick a site and then use the Webring link to randomly move to the next site. You can also view it as a directory listing. You can also explore sites not in the Webring with this handy site.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
One of the Twitter accounts I enjoy is @WhatIsNewYork. Spend enough time in New York City and you’re sure to see some hilarious things.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Now that I’ve got the site set up, all those little notes and ideas I had don’t seem that interesting. Uh oh! I’ll chalk it up to needing to get in the flow and start with something easy… pet pictures. | Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
Another place on the internet to do whatever I want! Although I'm not quite sure what that is.| Dana Byerly's Digital Junk Drawer
