Eight Years of Fresh Fusion
Today, Fresh Fusion turns 8 years old, and I figured this would be a good opportunity to reflect on the history of the show, step through some of the highlights and a low point or two, and consider…
Like How Am I So Prolific?
I'm often asked how I get so much done, and it always surprises me because I usually feel like I'm chronically behind in everything. But after a month of significant progress on a bunch of projects…
Betting All My Chips on LinkedIn (wink lol)
New year, new grumpy cat (!!), new recording setup (hint: not using an Apple OS!), and so much more. Welcome to the soft-reboot of Fresh Fusion, and a state of the [fill in the blank] rundown: from…
Hey, So For How Long Has Open Source Been a Nazi Bar?
As folks may know, I try to avoid deep-dives into "programming" topics here on Fresh Fusion. But as many recent events have proven, the slow creep of edgelord dank meme cosplay-fascist culture online…
Living in Portland 4.0
In what has apparently become an ongoing series, this installment of Living in Portland has our intrepid hero (me, that's me!) sharing all about the journey of personal discovery he went on as part…
125: …or at Least, “a Voice of a Generation” (Z)
Props if you know that very Millennial reference! We’re here to talk about Gen-Z and what it’s like to be a teenager in this screwy world. And by “we”, I mean me and my very special guest: Mike. Like…
124: Uh, We Already Live in Gilead, So…
We need better stories. The “Hero’s Journey” isn’t going to help us. No plucky band of rebels is going to land a blow and take the fascists out in one punch. The cycle of Republic vs Evil Empire will…
123: Life on the Road! It’s As Easy As…
As Fern, the protagonist of Nomadland (an incredible award-winning film), says: I’m not homeless, I’m houseless. There is a difference! So, I said in the last episode of Fresh Fusion that I was…
122: Digital Nomad Once Again
I’m a ramblin’ guy, I’m ramblin’ ramblin’ ram…BLIN’! Just like Steve Martin apparently, I’ll be ramblin’ around a lot this year, so it’s time to take my mobile workspace seriously and bid adeiu to…
121: Happy New Year to You! (Not You Zuck)
(Note: I want to provide a Trigger Warning as this episode contains examples of hate speech targeted at LGBTQ+ people and women. Take care of yourselves, and proceed with understanding.) It’s 2025…
120: My 2024 Nerd Thanksgiving List
It’s that time of year again in the U.S. of A.—time to take stock of where we’ve been and find all of the silver linings. And it’s time for this podcaster to geek out over some very special…
119: Good Vibes, Fediverse Rising
Why has the mood changed so suddenly on Threads? How has Meta dropped the ball at this pivotal moment for the nascent social network? Meanwhile, other social networks and the Fediverse as a whole are…
118: Midsummer Vibes Check
It’s the summer of our content, as we take time to enjoy the great outdoors and spend quality moments IRL with friends and family. At least, that’s what I’ve been doing, as well as making structural…
117: There’s a Great Deal of History That You Should Know…
Some people say that RIVEN: The Sequel to MYST is the greatest computer game of all time. (That’s me. I say that.) Perhaps YMMV. But there’s no doubt that Riven is the G.O.A.T. of puzzle adventure…
116: Those Who Can, Teach…Those Who Can’t, Influence
I’ve often found that most of the people out there who have genuine talent and real success are more than happy to pass their well-founded wisdom on to others. Unfortunately, those experts who have a…
115: Embrace Generative Art, Reject Regurgitated Slop
Generative art, aka artistic output that’s produced by a sophisticated set of parameters, cycles, connections, and yes, even algorithms, has been around for decades—especially in music—and has a…
114: Threadiverse / Threadsadverse?
A tale of two Threads: one—the Threadiverse—is a subportion of the Fediverse dedicated to replicating the kind of experiences we’re familiar with on Reddit, Hacker News, and the like; the other is…
113: The “Irrelevance” of Alternative Social Networks Was Always a Fallacy
Sigh. It’s frustrating to still feel like an early adopter of open web technology. How many years has it been? 25? 30? But here we are, trying to convince the masses that you can use open protocols,…
112: The Subtle Art of Giving a Toot
Microblogging is an artform, just like any other creative endeavor people publish on the web. In this episode, I talk about one of the subtle techniques I sometimes use to microblog which increases…
111: The Ethical AI Layer Cake
In this episode, I dive deep into how I might be willing to acknowledge an ethical approach to using generative AI tools, and why virtually all tools in widespread use today fall wildly short in the…
