Inspiration can come from odd places. The most recent one came from a RiffTrax video, poking fun at a 1976 movie made for school kids about good manners and courtesy.
Slope of Hope Blog Posts
Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order.

Captain’s Log
Slopers – last night, we upgraded our platform, and, well, you know how “upgrades” can be really “downgrades“, so I decided to revert. I did so this morning, but it seems in doing so, a few folks are having trouble logging in.
Don’t worry: your account isn’t disabled, and the database didn’t change. I’m not quite sure why some folks are having issues, but many of them who were wrote me later to say that after a couple of attempts (in some cases, just resetting their password) they were fine. In some cases, if you keep trying to log in, the system will lock you out since it thinks you are a hacker, but after 60 seconds, it’ll release your IP.
I’m sorry for any trouble, but I don’t have any magic cure-all at the moment. Write me if you are totally stuck after trying the above.
Ghost Town
My Substack page is basically a simplified version of the Slope website. I post maybe 25% of my stuff there, and of course there are none of the tools or information systems at all. What has made the biggest impression on me, however, is the community. More specifically the lack thereof.
Breathing Room
Good GOD what a day! Give me a chance to write something.
