Announcements:

  • Anna’s Archive is having some tough time with some of it’s domains being taken down. Now is more imperative than ever to get over there and download whatever pdf and epub books you may want. Currently I know that annas-archive.li is working. Please send them a donation to help keep this extremely valuable shadow library online. Refer to Google, Grokipedia, and Wikipedia for more information about Anna’s Archive. Also on my personal website is an extensive Anna’s Archive Search Index I made for use in searching for books at Anna’s Archive. I created it to be used as a guide for some interesting things you could look for and find some OOP (out of print) books. Be aware that the links on that page do not work since Anna’s Archives .org domain was taken down, which is where all of the links on that page pointed to when I built the listings. When time permits, I will be moving that page to this website with the links removed, and search terms available for use as manual text search suggestions. – 2025-01-19-MON-07:29-CST.

Currently In Progress:

2026-05-15-FRI-03:12-CST – This website is growing. Weekly (formerly daily) trends lists are being published to the blog. Ebooks and zines are on the way. Some site layout restructuring is in order. Some sections of the sidebar will be moved to somewhere in the lower layout region when time permits.

Editor’s Status:

2026-05-04-MON-11:39-CST – SITE BUILDING – Been awhile since I’ve updated my status. Ooops. Since the last status update, I’ve accomplished a lot of site building here at Surf Man, and moved into a new apartment that I am enjoying to stay in. This week I’m working on swapping out my laptop at my home office desk for a more powerful one I’ve had in storage. Also more site building is coming.

2026-01-21-WED-09:36-CST – HAPPY HUMP DAY!! – All it took was one short video on Facebook this morning to put me in the mood for listening to some Adam Lambert remixes on Youtube. I got some groceries this morning to get through the rest of this week and upcoming weekend. Just totally random, I bought a new folding chair to replace a sitting chair I acquired a couple of years ago. I like the chair that I had, but I need to make a downgrade to something that is more compact and easier to move when needed.

Publishing Soon:

Here is some content I’m working to be published to this website. No ETA on anything currently.

David T. (that’s me) resides in Southeast Alabama, and enjoys blogging, curating content, publishing pdf ebooks, and listening to music.

Closely Watching:

Some things I discovered that I think deserve prolonged attention.

QWERTY PHONES – It’s looking like 2026 is going to be the year that relaunches qwerty keyboard style phones back into the mainstream with devices like the new upcoming Clicks Communicator and Unihertz Titan 2 Elite. I’m a little excited about it. I kind of want one. I’m debating about ordering a Clicks Communicator, but I really like the looks of the Titan 2 Elite. Get the latest news on Youtube for Clicks Communicator, and the Titan 2 Elite.

Quote Of The Month:

For August 2026:

Be extremely careful of anyone who refuses to take accountability for themselves. You could end up putting your life in danger. This doesn’t always mean a physical threat. You could end up being evicted, take a major hit to your finances, or some other loss. Look out for you. Stay away from them.

For July 2026:

If you are too afraid to take risks due to the fear of failure, be aware that you might die at any given moment, and your failure might be simply not trying.

For June 2026:

Love yourself, and the bluebirds of happiness will be your permanent backup singers.

For May 2026:

A place for everything. Everything in it’s place. That includes people. Sort it all out! Soon enough you will discover some people need to be pushed back a little. Or a lot.

For April 2026:

You are not a failure. Sometimes things just take time. This includes figuring out what we want and need in our lives. Some people need more time to get to know themselves than others do. Take the time you need. It is your time.

For March 2026:

Wants are always less important than needs.

For February 2026:

Stop feeling bad for outgrowing people that had a chance to grow with you.

For January 2026:

What if success isn’t about proving yourself, but honoring yourself? What if it’s not about doing more, but creating more space for the things that bring you peace, joy, and meaning?

Social Media:

Caution: My social media pages tend to be NSFW. Because I’m a grown-ass man paying grown-ass money to post what I want, and what they allow.

Link rot is a real thing. It always has been since the early days of the internet. If you see something you will need or want to access later, you better save a personal copy of it for yourself. Otherwise the loss is on you when that resource is no longer available online.

I will add the rest of my social links soon.
