    I have a blog. I would say I had a blog, because the last entry was in 2017. It goes back to 2006!! I’m surprised it’s still there. I would probably consider posting to it again, but it’s on Blogspot and I’ve begun resisting Alphabet services recently. Still, interesting to look back on those times. It was a personal space filled with personal experiences. Many of my opinions and thoughts about things have changed since then. I was running my own Videography business at the start of the blog, mostly wedding videos, but some news stories too. It goes over my switch to Mac, forays into Linux and Solaris, scuba diving, scam calls, Windows issues, my earliest brushes with politics… just stuff I was doing. Not really sure why I stopped blogging. I think Mastodon provides that outlet nowadays, but it lacks the same permanence. I think my first Mastodon posts are already gone, fallen off the end of some social media conveyor belt. I’m okay with that. The alternative is massive server farms sucking down a massive amount of electricity. So the blog will stay untouched. If you want to browse some pre-#DgarMusic #DgarLore you can find the blog at https://dgar.blogspot.com/

                @catraxx Still got it. Works on my current iMac. I think it’s still available from Logitech! It’s a solid unit. Not very useful for video editing though.

                I did get a keyboard with a shuttle on it. It was quite expensive, but very useful for video editing. 🤭

                  @dgar I should get a joystick again. It's a shame the selection is so limited nowadays. Use to love playing flight sims. Nothing beats a joystick for flying

                    @catraxx It’s definitely nice for a flight sim, but my first joystick (not counting C64 single button blocks) was a Microsoft Sidewinder to play multiplayer Mechwarrior 2. Twist control to turn the torso was epic.

                      @dgar I had a sidewinder too! And i too played mechwarrior 2. Such an epic game. Shame the maschine gun was the single strongest weapon in the universe
