Al menos hay 86 programas en BASIC por digitalizar y enviarlos a dicha web. Menos mal que la gran mayoría son cortos y se teclean en un pis pas.

Another quick trip into the past, a magazine from 1931 titled Country Home (known as Farm & Fireside prior to 1930). Geared towards rural Americans and farmers, published monthly out of Illinois from 1877-1939.

Picked it up recently at a used book store. Got to take it for free due to some minor damage. Very nice owner :)

Wonderful stylized illustration on the cover. You can see where I get a big chunk of my art inspo from.

Features several articles on gardening. As a farming magazine amidst the Great Depression, it also has a few articles on economics. Also some interesting discussions in the letters section, including topics like socialism, and if marriage should be seen as a sacred institution.

The magazine cover, with title "Country Home". Illustration of a wooden birdhouse with a blue bird sat beside it, and a suburban house in the background.

Teaser for an article coming in the next issue, it says "This, they tell us, is the age of standardization. We eat standardized beans out of standardized cans. We listen to standardized jazz out of standardized radios. (skip forward...) We even, they say, think standardized thoughts with our standardized thinking machines. But You Can't Standardize Farmers."

Letters from readers section, titled "Forum and Ag'in 'Em". The subheading says "Of hair restored by television, communism, sympathy, Mrs. Cook, cemeteries and official bulls."

One of many ad sections in the magazine. In this picture: roofing, build-it-yourself homes, farmer agents, guns, and typewriters.

Sawyer’s Reading Log, 2025

This is my first Reading Log.

One nice thing about writing these end-of-year lists is I get to decide if the ways I’ve used to track a medium actually work. This year, I can say I’ve been disappointed by every single book-tracking method I’ve tried. I tried using Notion, Goodreads, Fable, and Storygraph. Each one has annoyances than make them not very fun to use. For 2026, I’ve decided to return to pen and paper, specifically with a little journal I bought in Japan called “Whisky & Reading Time.” We’ll see if that works any better.

Readwise

I’ve been a Readwise subscriber for a few years now. It’s what I use to read most online text, and an increasing number of digital books. I adore its spaced repetition quotes. It’s the first app that opens on my phone in the morning.

As of this post, I have 99 rss feeds. Many of these are subscriptions to newsletters, not blogs (though really, what’s the difference?)

According to the site, I’ve made highlights to 204 articles/books this year. Considering I have 854 total highlights, I’d say I’ve used the app considerably.
