I also bought my wife a fancy pee cloth for dispersed camping trips, so you know…it’s been a helluva day. 😂
I successfully convinced my friend to bring her family to the World’s Largest Ball of Twine in Kansas and it made my day.
Another post that’s suddenly popular each summer is my guide to Travel Camping: how to fly and camp in a rental car. We’ve changed out a lot of the gear we bring when doing this, so it’s due for a big upgrade.
Every summer, this guide to how to make ice last longer in your cooler is one of my most visited posts. We’ve upgraded a few things since I wrote this in 2017, but the general principles all remain the same.

Every time I hear someone mention colonizing Mars, I think of this (rocking) song. Keep the cc lyrics on, and listen to it twice for the best experience.
And here we are, the red planet Craters cross the skyline A sleep sack in a bivouac And a Kerouac sense of time Oh, and we think about the old days Of green grass, sky and red wine Should’ve known, so fragile Avoided this one-way flight
I wrote about what Analytics for the Personal Web might look like.

#opcOnThisDay way back in 2003, I took this photo at Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park. At the time, it was one of my most fav photos and it adorned my wallpaper for quite some time. ☀︎ #NationalPark #Washington
Wait, so Brigham Young used to distill whiskey? Huh. 🥃🐸
Here’s a map of the Chandler Public Art Tour, which shows the location of murals and other public art throughout #Chandler #Arizona
I really love Andy Gibb’s monthly Being Outdoors recaps, which are written as though he’s updating you during a casual hike together—supplemented with a heaping of great photos, too.
His site is my addition to #Junited2024 today.
Just added this to the various slash pages I already have on my website:
If you haven’t perused the personal website of Jeff Bridges (yes, that one), then you should do so right now. It’s a treat, and a reminder that things don’t have to be fancy—even if you have a publicist (does The Dude have a publicist?)
Today’s addition for #Junited2024. See all entries at rsjon.es/junited
Today’s entry for #Junited2024 is @robertbreen’s poignant post celebrating three years of sobriety—congrats, Robert! His line about how alcohol is the only drug you have to explain not using reminded me of how I often felt as a nondrinker in my 20-30s.
This morning I wondered aloud (well, on my blog really) if Apple could create a new model of the social web by combining personal websites with social media features?
It’s a bit of a thought experiment. What do you think about something like this?

I spent #opcOnThisDay in 2019 enjoying some (cooler than June in Phoenix) mountain air up at 9500ft elevation in the Coconino National Forest, apparently lounging for awhile near Arizona Snowbowl. #Arizona #Flagstaff #NationalForest
Unlike @keenan@social.lol, I’m not killing off my blogroll. But after reading his post, I did realize that I should rebirth it in a different form.
