2026-03-26-SUN-23:46-CST – LOTS OF SHOPPING CURRENTLY – I really don’t want to (yes I do lol – but no I don’t – whatever), but I have a lot of shopping going on currently. As I’m sure I mentioned somewhere, I recently moved, and there are things I both need and want. I have ideas for how I want my apartment to look over the course of the new lease I’m about to sign, and therefore I need to buy some things. I recently bought a new round area rug for my round dining table and chairs in the kitchen, a wreath and doormat for the front door, and I’ve started having some groceries delivered. Yesterday I ordered a new 18 foot runner rug for the hallway. Today I ordered two tablecloths for my kitchen table, and two clippers and trimmer sets. I’ve been shaving with a dog hair trimmer lol. Don’t judge me. It works.

Music Collection CD:

2026-03-14-SAT-19:39-CST – I NEED NEW CDS – Ok I don’t really need new cds, but I want some. Tonight I got on a Greatest Hits CD binge. I want to start collecting Greatest Hits cds from favorite music artists that I don’t currently own. I went to Amazon and browsed around a bit. I’ve got 3 I’m looking at to order soon maybe. These selections are (don’t judge me lol – I don’t care if you do anyway) Jo Dee Messina Greatest Hits, Michael Jackson Number Ones, and Culture Club Greatest Hits. What got me into wanting to collect these greatest hits cds is that Jo Dee Messina has a new song out called Some Bridges, and I really love the song. I am making it my theme song for 2026. I think it sends a very powerful message that sometimes it’s ok to burn bridges. I also love her older music, and so I thought I would go on Amazon to see if she had a greatest hits cd, and I saw that she did. Then I started browsing around for other greatest hits cds, and you know how things go from there. I’m going to try and use my brain though before I go spending bundles of cash on these. I have a premium Spotify account. So I’m going to listen to whatever cd I’m considering to buy on Spotify first to make sure I want it. Also I’m aiming at only buying cds that come with the free AutoRip MP3 files that Amazon offers with select albums.

Site Updates:

2026-03-14-SAT-18:49-CST – KICKING OFF UPDATES AT SURF MAN – Damn I’m slow to get things started sometimes lol. Actually I’ve just been really busy working on all kinds of things, and I just forgot to start updating this website. Well this evening I figured now is as good a time as any to put the pedal to the floor and get the wheels rolling on turning this website into the platform it’s intended for. So here we go.

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.

Buy Me A Coffee:

Buy the editor of Surf Man a coffee to show your support for this ad-free work, and thank you!!

Currently In Progress:

2026-01-20-TUE-21:17-CST – This website is finally built! Ok well, the layout is anyway. Ignore all content in the sidebar below this section. There are segments copied over from my other website which will be removed soon, or placed on a dedicated page. I am really excited for this step forward toward getting this project on the move. This week my main focus will be on adding all of the necessary pages this website needs. That doesn’t mean all content for these pages will be written, but at least I can put the pages in place.

Editor’s Status:

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.

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 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 Elite.

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