What’s on Here?
---------------
This has been my main personal website for ages, and it’s grown weirdly over the years. I have a more focused IndieWeb-style page at [KVibber.com](https://kvibber.com), but most of my actual stuff is here, including...

**[K2 Ramblings](journal/)**, my personal blog covering a wide range of topics in technology, entertainment, and everyday life. (In theory it’s a shared family blog, but I’m the main one who posts there these days.)
**[Tech Tips, Troubleshooting and How-Tos](tech-tips/)**, a collection of computer problems I've run into and how I solved them (or how I found the solutions).
**[Reviews](reviews/)** of books, movies, software, etc.
### Creativity
* [Short stories and poetry](writing/)
* [Scenic photos from the 1990s](photos/). I have [tons more photos on Flickr](https://www.flickr.com/photos/kelsonv/).
* [The Music Hall](midi/) - MIDI files I put together from madrigals so I could use them for choir practice
### Fandom
* [Re-Reading Les Misérables](les-mis/) - A blog in which I comment on the novel and review various adaptations.
* [Flash: Those Who Ride the Lightning](flash/) - Fan reference site for DC Comics’ speedsters, their enemies, and supporting cast up through 2011, when I ran out of free time to maintain it. (The [Speed Force](https://speedforce.org/) blog spun out of it, and is still going.)
* [Fan Convention Reports & Photos](cons.html)
### Humor
* [Humor Files](humor/) Funny quotes and other random amusements collected from 1998-2005.
* [Googolplex Theaters](googolplex-theaters/) - a 2005 April Fool’s joke that seems more plausible now than it did at the time.
[**My Gemini Capsule**](gemini://hyperborea.org/) contains a subset of this website in [Gemini](https://geminiprotocol.net/), an ultra-light protocol and format that’s somewhere between Gopher and a minimalist Web. For surfing the "smol internet" I recommend [Lagrange](https://git.skyjake.fi/skyjake/lagrange) on Windows, macOS and Linux, [Amfora](https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora) for terminal access, [Seren](https://orllewin.uk/) on Android, and [Elaho](https://apps.apple.com/app/id1514950389) on iOS.
I have a bunch of articles from my [Web Advocacy](web-advocacy.html) days. And in case you’re wondering: [What the heck is a Hyperborea?](whatisit.html)
