A Whisper

/month

I realize that not everybody can afford or wants to spend five bucks supporting independent work, but a minimum skews most of your money to processing, which nobody wants. Therefore, at this level, you'll see previews of the television-specific media posts.

About John Colagioia

running a blog, writing software, and running public web services

Hey 👋 I just created a page here. You can now buy me a coffee-like beverage...or whatever metaphor you prefer! Thanks for checking out my page.

You might know me from my Entropy Arbitrage blog, my little Free Software projects, or as maintainer of All Around the News.
