Determination

The domain name MMXXII.com was first registered by me at Dotster more than 17 years ago. I was hoping that when the year 2022 eventually came around, I’d have something interesting to say on this weblog.

And then finally it got here; and even more surprising to me, I got here with it. So, starting January 1, 2022, I started posting and fiddling with an assortment of content ever since. Stay tuned to see if it improves over the next few years. You’ll see something new every day.

Here are my ambitious next steps:

  1. Find out about those SSL security errors on an iPad.
  2. Create a system to curate image files and save database records.
  3. Write a parser.php app to read traffic log files.
  4. Print business cards with MMXXII in Cochin font.
  5. Contact potential online/offline affiliates.
  6. Walk/bike around handing out business cards, talk to decision makers.
  7. Put up a keyosk at Bay Area markets to sell MMXXII tchotchkes.
  8. Kick off ShopCampbell.com, ShopLosGatos.com, and ShopWillowGlen.com into high gear to help with branding.

The task is great and full of responsibility. It is nothing less than that of leading the world out of confusion and back to order.

Do a search on Google and you’ll find that MMXXII.com‘s place on page 6 no longer exists. You’ll find it on the first page of Brave, and Baidu, though.

Google page six, years ago.

Life is “nasty, brutish, and short,” says Thomas Hobbes.

Dacher Keltner believes evolution has given Homo sapiens emotions like gratitude, joy, amusement, and compassion. They help us survive and build cooperative and ethical societies.

I made a hole in the forest so the light shined in, and started writing.

I put my mind to the pages of my journal, explaining myself to myself.
