Archiving my current bio in preparation for the updated one. Also on Internet Archive:

music · faith · computer geekery · friends · liberty

These six words are probably the most succinct bio I could write. Keep reading if you would like more, though!

My name is gRegor Morrill, a.k.a. gRegorLove. Yes, “Gregor is a weird name,” 1 and I know gRegor is a weird capitalization. You can pronounce it “Greg-or,” “Greg-er,” “Gee-reg-or,” or “Floyd.” I am not too picky about it.

I am 45—yes, really—and one of the most interesting things about me is that I had a pacemaker put in when I was 28. It was a crazy story and I am very grateful to be alive.

Computers have been a big part of my life since childhood. (Now I even have one assisting my heart!) I particularly enjoy making web sites and applications that look great and work well. Most of my work is in programming, but I have quite a love for design and typography. I have been told that I have a good eye for them, which I attribute to my talented friends rubbing off on me.

There are some amazing people in my life. I love spending time with friends, meeting new people, laughing, and making other people laugh. Laughter is one of the best inventions ever.

I love how powerful music can be. A song can fit exactly how I feel, change how I feel, or even transport me to a specific memory. It is a spiritual experience at times. Going to concerts is one of my favorite activities and I enjoy promoting the artists that move me.

While I have quite an interest in politics as a topic, I have grown tired of politics as a process. Liberty is much more interesting to me. I am opposed to initiating force to achieve political or social goals. I think it is wrong and only perpetuates a cycle of people wielding force against each other. We can peacefully mature beyond such systems.

My faith in Jesus as Saviour is central in my life and I strive to follow Christ in all I do. I believe that God is relational and thus we are made to be the same way. Through our relationships we have great power for good, for redemption. “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Luke 10:27)

The good news is that my favorite driver took home an unexpected victory for his first win at Silverstone 😊 #F1

Charles wins but I’m so fucking pissed off at Ferrari being absolutely shit at strategy AGAIN. Lewis just had P2 stolen from him by his own damn team. Safety car screwed up, but this is entirely on Ferrari. #F1

Between the pervasive flopping theatrics and poor and inconsistent officiating, it’s hard for me to appreciate soccer as much as I appreciate football. Put them all in full football pads if they’re going to pantomime so much. Throw them out when they’re clearly full of shit.

I have no idea how Ferrari has so much pace at Silverstone after last week. Lewis is juicing every ounce out of the car. Hopefully Charles can catch up!

What an absolute banger of a game! Unforgettable. This World Cup has delivered 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A chat between Hank and Ze

How could I not pick up his avocado beauty at Acts Thrift for $17.36?! A day's worth of cleaning ought to bring this bad boy up to snuff. I'm most shocked at the fantastic design of its case. This is a re-branded Messa typewriter manufactured in Portugal with other known re-badgings as the ABC 3001 and the Brother XL-1016. These were made/advertised from 1971 to 1974, but based on the serial numbers in the Typewriter Database, I would suspect mine is from the early side of 1971. (It's entirely possible they made the entire run in a year and sold them through 1974.) Including this one there are currently only seven exemplars in the database, but many of them are owned by some of the most prolific collectors.    With my 52nd birthday coming up this may be one of the youngest machines I own, though it's still a few years older than me.  And how could you possibly not love the green typebar jam release key? The only thing that could be cooler would be to have versions in harvest yellow, burnt orange, and coppertone brown. I'll have to get my old Tupperware set out to properly show this off. Manual available on Richard Polt's site. I've already fixed/adjusted most of the primary issues and done a little bit of the work to clean this out. I should be able to finish up the rest of it over the long weekend with the exception of one or two screws that I can tell are missing and need replacements.  Portions of the case are going to require some attention as well. oblique angle onto the front left corner of a Sears Newport typewriter there's a button on the corner of the hood that reads "TOUCH"Typesample of a pica 1971 Sears Newport typewriterClose up of about 12 slugs on a Sears Newport faturing what looks like a 95 and the mushed together "AR" stamp of Albert Rodrian of RaRo fame.Close up of the right side of an avocado Sears Newport typewriter featuring a dark green key next to the @/¢ featuring what appears to be two typebars crossing each other

Out in the desert for the holiday and putting 007: First Light to the test on my makeshift cryptomining card Steam Machine. 1080p med/low, FSR performance… decent! Better yet, no bitcoin is involved!
