New blog post: A tribute to my daily-driver laptop, the ThinkPad T60. Using a 20-year-old laptop in a time of RAM shortages, hard drive shortages, and companies trying to lease game consoles and laptops. I will *own* my computer, thank you very much. nantucketlit.com/blog/2026/02...

New blog post: Auto-parsing added to the #NantucketLit online editor. Thanks, @zeigert.com! nantucketlit.com/blog/2026/02...

I am watching Power Rangers RPM. It's impressive that so many New Zealanders survived the robot uprising.

@scotterybarn.bsky.social I found it! Here's Ebert's interview with Tom Cruise where they talk about the editing in Eyes Wide Shut. www.rogerebert.com/interviews/c...

@scotterybarn.bsky.social @atgonzalez.bsky.social Spared no expense!

My friends Sam and ATG the Software Agents did a video on Tecmo Bowl, so give it a watch! I helped with the sound edit and structuring the video.

@atgonzalez.bsky.social has written stories for #NantucketLit, including an upcoming postcard for First-Class Fiction. Here's his review of the popular SNES sports game Tecmo Super Bowl. youtu.be/3N7-aec-Who #retrogaming I'd like to point out that the URL has a word in it: "Who". Lucky!

In the latest Software Agents video, me and Sam analyze why Tecmo Bowl is still gaining yards! Thank you to @nantucketlit.bsky.social for being our patron, @mrtoptenlist.bsky.social for taking a look at the script and @deepwater91.bsky.social for working on the sound edit, structure and video plan.

Watching the AFC Championship. Was that AI in the Jeep ad? Not cool, Jeep.

Black Hole has a sign saying it won't allow ICE in its doors, in case you Houstonians are looking for a coffee shop doing its part.

Colorado State University is introducing its new... chatbot. It's called RamGPT. This is a reference to CSU's mascot Cam the Ram. It's also a reference to Big Tech's zeal to "ram" LLMs into every product and service. And to AI's depletion of the world's RAM supply. #TripleEntendre

in a refreshing change of pace, both bandcamp and games workshop announced this week that they've banned AI to varying extents. these stances are crucial during a time when AI is being rammed down our throats at every turn, and some people are starting to accept it

@deepwater91.bsky.social is an excellent musician, you should follow her, too!

My friends are like, awesome people, so like, support them and shit

I do not use any AI in any books I publish on my website. No DRM, either. AI is for people who like to tank the water supply and jack up electricity bills while they pretend to be creative. That's not what I'm about. nantucketlit.com #NoAI

Every day feels like this moment from The Matrix. Mounting dread...

substack.com/@atgonzalez I'm experimenting with Substack. Come join the fun.

ko-fi.com/atgonzalez Well I hate making these posts but... I am dealing with a $70 bank penalty that I need to get resolved by the end of the month so, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

Sorry about the lack of general updates. A lot of stop and go. Here's what's going on: My dad has developed a delusion from using ChatGPT. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's a real and recent phenomenon. Please do some research on A.I. psychosis.

Scott Adams passed away today. Dilbert played the same role for me that Mad Magazine played for kids in earlier generations: it introduced me to satire, language, and archetypes. I was very sorry for what Scott Adams became later on. @yellowscenemag.bsky.social yellowscene.com/2023/07/06/w...

My latest book is available at Trident Booksellers in Boulder. Trident is one of my favorite bookstores in Colorado. It’s on the west end of the Pearl Street Mall. You can find Through the Lens of Gratitude in the #zines section. Featuring a cover by @oponok.bsky.social #physicalmedia #chapbooks

Some more from Bela Tarr: This is the theme music from Werckmeister Harmonies. One of the most haunting movie themes I've ever heard, and a perfect fit for a such a haunting film. youtu.be/ad5alnTNGBU

I heard that filmmaker Bela Tarr passed away. I have only seen his movie Werckmeister Harmonies. The ending of the movie, as the old man contemplates the whale, is one of those moments in film I will never forget. youtu.be/6b-1lh0i4Y8

Oh what a fun find at the thrift store. A signed print! Let’s look up the artist, maybe I could commission some work. Genevieve Tsai, who’s that… Lead character designer on the Animaniacs reboot. Worked on The Wild Robot… for which she won an Annie Award. No wonder the art looks so darn good.

Thanks for your work, @atgonzalez.bsky.social!

Tonight is a major update for the #HarlanEllison Directory. @atgonzalez.bsky.social has contributed write-ups for all stories from Ellison's 1988 book Angry Candy. Angry Candy includes award-winners like Paladin of the Lost Hour and The Function of Dream Sleep. www.ndhfilms.com/other/elliso...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=oahX... At Software Agents, we love the Arcade Archives series by HAMSTER! Here's our look at the Switch version of their take on Dead Connection (originally by Taito) This is an arena shooter game with a gangster theme.

New blog post: I am very excited to announce two updates. First, I have a script to parse Shanty markup files into Manuscript Format. Second, I've made updated to the EPUB-generator script to improve compatibility. nantucketlit.com/blog/2026/01... #NantucketLit #Ebooks

New blog post: My wrap-up for 2025, looking back on the books I've published, the articles I've written, and my work on the Harlan Ellison directory. It's been a busy year! nantucketlit.com/blog/2025/12...

My hot take on Stranger Things: I quite enjoyed Stranger Things... back when it was called Super 8.

lite.cnn.com/2025/12/30/p... There's an unfortunate mistake in this article. Ben Nighthorse Campbell did indeed help get the site of the Sand Creek Massacre designated as a National Historic Site, but that has nothing to do with Great Sand Dunes National Park. Completely different parts of CO.

New blog post: a new implementation of my analytics method: a cron job and 175 lines of Node. A reminder that self-education is, in the words of Professor Hinkle, "Messy, messy, messy!" nantucketlit.com/blog/2025/12... #NantucketLit

I'm excited to share my latest book: Through the Lens of Gratitude is a story told through short messages, about the things we're thankful for. nantucketlit.com/books/njb/gr... Featuring a foreword by Rhonda Blackhurst, and a cover illustration by @oponok.bsky.social

A reminder that my latest book will start shipping on Wednesday, December 17. Through the Lens of Gratitude is a signed chapbook about the things we're grateful for. Learn more and order at nantucketlit.com/gratitude Featuring cover art by @oponok.bsky.social #ArtForSale #NantucketLit

My latest book is just about ready! It's a chapbook, limited to 26 signed copies. I typeset my chapbooks using an IBM Executive typewriter, and I collate the pages on my dining room table. I love the cover, which is by artist @oponok.bsky.social. Order at nantucketlit.com/blog/2025/12...

Getting my new chapbook printed! Each copy will be signed and lettered by me. This book will feature a cover by @oponok.bsky.social. It was typeset using an IBM Executive typewriter. You can pre-order at nantucketlit.com

@ebertvoices.bsky.social MZS gives four stars to Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. I must say my interest is piqued now. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/kill...

The actor from Little Miss Sunshine, There Will Be Blood, and The Fablemans is not "the worst actor in SAG." The must be some unspoken grievance between Tarantino and Paul Dano. There are occasions where criticism passes from subjective taste to objective fact, and Tarantino was objectively wrong.

Pretty neat! The latest issue of ETCetera magazine includes an article by me. I wrote about my life through typewriters: my first experiences with them, and the ones I continue to use every day. I also talked about how I use an IBM Executive to typeset my chapbooks. etconline.org

Had there been a Telltale game for Mad Men set ten years later in the 1980s, they should have used New York Groove in the teaser. youtu.be/DXeeY9D9u94 No, I haven't given a lot of thought to this, why do you ask?

So cool seeing oponok art for a Nantucket Lit story, will have to give it a read!
