StarrWulfe has been my handle since the first time I had to choose one in the BBS days back when the internet came screaming at you through the phone lines. Chances are if you see my handle, it’s probably something from me.

  • Inconsolable Tangential War Victims

    It’s very hard to ignore the amount of suffering going on by people who just a few years ago were living an idyllic life just like me; I tried to refrain from saying something about this, but my mind won’t rest. (a commentary) https://starrwulfe.xyz/b/2nWc

    Bicycle safety tech “gadgetbahnery”

    I’m all for new tech but all that’s really needed are Dutch style separated bike lanes and protected signal crossings if they really have this kind of money to burn. The vast majority of both cars and cyclists aren’t going to download a “watch out for bikes” app, this is silly and a waste of…

    Japan has good neighborhood streets

    🚗 Traffic Calming: I really appreciate how Japan’s narrow streets naturally slow down traffic, unlike the wider roads back in the States where people tend to speed. 📚 Driving Education: Getting a driver’s license in Japan means going through an intensive and expensive driving school, which is quite different from my experience in the US.…

    Last Week Today! S2024E7

    Here’s what happened this past week with me… Health Checkup: My yearly physical exam went well, except for slightly elevated fasting glucose levels. The doctor emphasized exercise to prevent diabetes. Exercise Dilemma: Since returning from Japan, I’ve lacked motivation for exercise. But now, I’ve decided to buy a bike and resume my overseas fitness routine.…

    Throwback Post #1: Waxing Nostalgic on Blogs and Smartphones
