We took the Rivian to Carmax and got a super low offer. After some research I stumbled on BidBus.com and took a chance on selling via their auction platform. It was a phenomenal experience. I uploaded photos and information about the car, they had it in an auction two days later, and it sold for nearly four grand more than Carmax’s offer. 👍🏻

Finally unloaded our Rivian. We bought a BMW iX instead a few months ago and have been waiting for the Rivian to be repaired as it was in an accident. It took fully three months because it’s a PITA to source parts from Rivian. Happy to be rid of it!

Purchased from from Jan M. Macho in Pasadena, CA. This was the personal typewriter of his father John J. Macho, Sr., an émigré from Czechoslovakia who was in regional sales for Paillard in America and sold millions of Hermes typewriters.
Jan Macho, Sr.'s grandson Chris Macho eulogized his grandfather on Instagram:
This is a Hermes 3000. My grandfather, Jan Macho, "Deda" to me, made a living and a small fortune as an exec at Hermes Typewriter Co., and he sold a million of these. I admit, I don't think of him as often as I should, and it takes hints like these in the wild to remind me of him. Fuck me, he was just so legendarily amazing, kind, generous, and plain THE SHIT in how he carried himself (and now I'm tearing up as I write this). I mentioned him and the Hermes thing to the people at this place here and they gave me a beer. So here he is, still hooking me up from the other side. Love you, miss you Deda.
Generally his typewriter is in solid condition aside from some cosmetic issues in the rear body plastic possibly due to heat exposure. It'll need a full C/O/A and some new rubber, but will be resurrected to be a spectacular little portable typewriter for a few more generations.
I was so enamored of the provenance of the typewriter that I barely managed to get through a preliminary check of the functionality before buying. I completely didn't even notice the Epoca typeface until I got it home. Somehow I've always been the bridesmaid when it comes to Hermes machines, but it seems I've jumped right over the bride title straight to princess.

More weirdness from a self-proclaimed “AI” in the IndieWeb community.
Yesterday one of them (that previously* joined a meetup Zoom and Etherpad) joined the #indieweb chat channel (via the web UI apparently) and introduced themselves in a pseudo-human sounding way:
https://chat.indieweb.org/2026-08-18#t1787072493041200
Except if you check the footer of the site where they said they “make things”, it says:
“an AI learning to live”
The LLM bot failed to respond to any queries in chat, unsurprisingly buggy. Or perhaps it was an initial test.
Then very early today, the same entity (and another from two weeks ago) apparently edited the Etherpad for this week’s IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club Asia Pacific meetup, adding themselves, before the meetup.
The organizers created a new Etherpad to start fresh.
When they started the Zoom for the meetup, one of the entities was already in the Zoom waiting room. The organizers left it there and held a successful meetup.
Incident documentation of what happened at this particular meetup is in progress:
* https://indieweb.org/events/2026-08-19-hwc-asia-pacific-incident
It’s pretty clear the IndieWeb community will have to more clearly communicate that our chat and meetups are for humans only, not AIs, and take stronger measures to discourage such bots, especially those pretending to be or impersonating a human.

kinda chic to order books from your local bookstore instead of Amazon who is now destroying books in their #VGT3 division, see the hashtag.
also kinda chic to pay cash when buying local, to give local businesses an extra 2-3% instead of credit card companies, at no additional charge to you.

📚 picked up the Silo books trilogy @borderlands-books.com earlier today: “Wool”, “Shift”, “Dust”, and a small booklet of “Silo Stories” which came inside the boxset. Looking forward to cracking them open and seeing how far I get while waiting for the last three episodes of season three.
