My technical meanderings and other nonsense. Published since 2002. No, really. I'm *that* internet-old. I remember the days of Greymatter.

Total blog posts published since 2002: 2,087. Here was the first. And a random one from half-way back. You can find me blathering on App.net also. Sorry to bother you with all that. You can move on with your day now.

Kurt Vonnegut

Posted on April 12, 2007 by Matt Thommes

Vonnegut would say, “So it goes.”

I’d prefer to say, “And now he knows.”

Kurt Vonnegut, Writer of Classics of the American Counterculture, Dies at 84, via Daring Fireball.

Player Piano was my favorite book by Vonnegut, and I once saw Cat’s Cradle on stage.

I’ve also read The Sirens of Titan, and Breakfast of Champions.

Truly an amazing writer.
