David Thrift Official Website

Home

Welcome to D98.co, my new home on the web. My name is David Thrift, and this website serves as my official website.

Here at D98.co I curate various content from sources around the web, hoard links, and I’m working on building a variety of directories on the blog. These directories range from websites, social media, and music on Spotify and Youtube.

I am a quotes and sayings hoarder, and I love sharing these on my blog.

Directories:

I am in the process of establishing several directories on this website. These range from a website directory, to social media directories. Below are navigation links to the directories currently established here. I have not yet started filling in any posts in these directories. I am trying to get all directories I can think of that I want to maintain established before I start adding listings.

Once all directories have been established, I will include the navigation links to all of the directory posts in the right sidebar to make navigating these posts easier.

Facebook Groups Directory:

Facebook Groups can be great resources for information, or entertainment. I am considering to add a directory to list some of the groups I’ve joined.

I have not yet published the posts for this directory. This section of the directory is under consideration only at this time.

Facebook Pages Directory:

Facebook Pages, like Facebook Groups, can be great resources for information, or entertainment, or following businesses. I am considering to add a directory to list some of the pages I’m following, however I may not due to that I’m already listing these in the site updates section. If I were to consider adding this part of the directory, the listings would be for favorite pages only, and that could be a slow work in progress considering the number of pages that I follow and would have to sort through.

I have not yet published the posts for this directory. This section of the directory is under consideration only at this time.

UPDATE – I have come up with a plan for my Facebook Pages Directory. I will be adding posts to the blog that will match the page categories on Facebook. All listings for those categories will be listed on the appropriate blog post. All listings will begin with the State they operate from. Also I will no longer be listing my new follows in the Updates. That just causes double work for myself at the end of the month. Instead I will collect all new follows throughout each month, save my lists of the new follows, and then work those into the directory posts when time permits. This only makes sense as the directory is the final destination for these listings. I may as well cut out all the middle work I’ve been doing and get the listings put where they belong as fast as possible.

UPCOMING CATEGORIES – Automotive Manufacturer, Cars… more to be listed soon.

Hashtags Directory:

Hashtags are a great way to search for and filter out specific content on social media networks. This hashtags directory will include curated hashtags primarily from Facebook, but also from X.

0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Website Directory:

A new website directory is coming to D98.co soon. There will be two parts of it. The first part will be organized alphanumerically, and the second one will be organized by topics. The links below go to the alphanumeric website directory. The topics directory is in the works.

0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Youtube Remixes Directory:

There is a huge music world in remixes and megamixes to explore on Youtube. Browse the Youtube Remixes Directory using the links below for curated selections.

2025-10-05-SUN-15:02-CST – CHECKING IN – Happy Sunday! I had a really great productive night last night with building my digital book collection. Tonight I plan on doing the same thing. So I am present, but I’m extremely busy. This may be the only update I make today. Have a great end to your weekend with what is left of it.

2025-10-04-SAT-15:12-CST – CHECKING IN – I’m back! I took a nearly 3 week much needed break from my website work. I managed to touch a few project here and there during that time, but mostly spent the time doom scrolling on my phone lol. I did make some new digital art as well during that time. Tonight I’m going to try and get back into trying to get some productive things done. My brain has settled on trying to use Anna’s Archive to replace one of my old hard cover books so I can get rid of it and gain some space, and I’m going to try and get some travel links collected out of some old Colorado travel guides I’ve been hoarding since 2020.

2025-09-14-SUN-19:39-CST – CHECKING IN – I got the Painnt art caught up on that I needed to do for tonight’s workflow. I’m gonna get back to working on building my Updates Archive for awhile.

2025-09-14-SUN-17:00-CST – CHECKING IN – I am a dumbass today. I started working on some new Painnt art, and I got 20 new ones done, but I forgot to select a high quality resolution for exporting the files. So I had to delete them, and now I have to do them over. It’s ok. I’ll deal with it. I just wasn’t paying attention, but I’m glad I caught it before I got many more images made. It’s only a minor set back. It just means I get to look at the pictures again.

2025-09-13-SAT-18:36-CST – CHECKING IN – It’s a great Saturday. The weather is nice here in Southeast Alabama today. Tonight I am focusing on working on making new digital art in Painnt, and also putting together a new workflow routine I can try to stick with. That’s pretty much it.

2025-09-12-FRI-21:25-CST – ZINE 1 PROGRESS – I was looking at my photo gallery on my phone earlier tonight and noticed some work I had been doing with the Painnt app. I have art images saved in 4 different folders, and I have completely forgotten what my workflow was for that project lol. I haven’t worked on it in a long time. So I bought a new subscription for Painnt on Windows, and tonight I’m going to be working on converting some NSFW photos into art for the zine. This way I can build a new workflow. I also need to get back to numbering some of my other art images.

2025-09-10-WED-19:57-CST – CHECKING IN – I forgot to check in yesterday. No big deal I guess. As far as productivity goes, I did what I plan to do tonight, which is get back on Facebook and follow more business pages… I know, how exciting lol… except it kind of is for me anyway to see what is out there. I’ve been using UpNote while working alongside Firefox to collect my Facebook page links while adding them into my que for the directory I’m building. It has been a very easy way to accomplish what I need to in my workflow with that, without needing to keep up with my flashdrive that has all of my text files on it. I highly recommend UpNote to anyone who needs to be able to write notes in a Windows Notepad-like experience that includes cloud syncing. UpNote is like Window Notepad in a way, but with the cloud, and many editing functions included. I really enjoy using it.

2025-09-08-MON-20:20-CST – CHECKING IN – It’s Monday again. That means I am working on my Surface Pro 11 from now until Friday. That means I’ll probably just be working on following more pages on Facebook for my directory since I haven’t gotten my Surface tablet set up for doing much of anything else.

2025-09-07-SUN-20:17-CST – CHECKING IN – I’m uncertain what tonight holds as far as productivity goes. I’m not really in the mood to set up my work station. I spent some time earlier this evening stringing up a new beaded necklace. Now I’m relaxing and generating new AI art in the Dream By Wombo app. I could end up just doing that for the rest of the night. I do feel like a break from the computer would do me some good.

2025-09-07-SUN-05:54-CST – ZINE 1 PROGRESS – I have 1 more set of art files to organize. Then I need to transfer some other stuff that I’ve been hoarding into my main collection. I will then organize that for the zine, and then I’ll have all of my art and photo files needed. Time to shut down my work station.

2025-09-07-SUN-04:35-CST – ZINE 1 PROGRESS – I did in fact take a nap. It was much needed. Now back to work on the zine.

2025-09-07-SUN-00:33-CST – ZINE 1 PROGRESS – Debating whether to take a nap or keep working on this zine. Honestly I’m feeling like a nap is in good order.

2025-09-06-SAT-23:40-CST – ZINE 1 PROGRESS – I’ve just finished numbering 110 Dezgo AI generated art images from my collection for the upcoming zine.

2025-09-06-SAT-21:51-CST – CHECKING IN – As noted in my last check in update, I’m about to start working on my zine. I’m shutting down all of my txt files and getting into my AI art so I can start numbering jpg files. There are several categories of art in my inventory. I think I’ve decided to include 50 images from each category, but I’ll be numbering the files up to 100. This way I can get some ready for the first zine, and have some waiting for the next one.

2025-09-06-SAT-21:26-CST – CHECKING IN – Ok, as does often happen with me, I’ve decided to change up my workflow for tonight. I want to dive into my inventory of AI generated art, and start picking out some art for my upcoming zine. I have published Update Archive posts to September 2026 so far. I think I’ve had enough post publishing for tonight. I can’t do the post publishing thing all night like I planned. It gets boring after awhile. Oh well. It’s ok by me as long as I’m doing something productive, and I know I’ll enjoy looking at the art.

2025-09-06-SAT-17:16-CST – CHECKING IN – I’m pushing on this evening and through the night with some more 808 State playing on Spotify, and I’ll continue adding Update Archives posts to the blog. Just working to get it done.

2025-09-06-SAT-05:12-CST – SITE UPDATE – LEMMY – I’ve added a few new topics links to the Lemmy section in the site footer area.

2025-09-06-SAT-02:24-CST – CHECKING IN – I got 808 State playing on Spotify, and I’ve been adding Update Archives posts to the blog like I said I was going to do. I’m gonna take a break and surf the web for a little while. I actually don’t know if I will do any more work tonight to be honest.

2025-09-05-FRI-21:39-CST – SITE UPDATE – UPDATES ARCHIVE – I’ve just finished adding this months Updates Archive, and EOM Updates Report links to the Updates page. Earlier tonight in a check in update, I wrote that I was going to work on moving pages over from one of my other websites. I have changed my mind. I’m going to do something else. I’m going to publish some Updates posts to the blog ahead of time for a few months ahead so that I can have them ready to start filling in as time passes in the near future.

2025-09-05-FRI-18:57-CST – CHECKING IN – Left over pizza is on the menu tonight. I’ve also got a couple of frozen dinners and snacks if needed. Tonight I’m focusing on moving pages over from one of my other websites.

2025-09-02-TUE-00:06-CST – CHECKING IN – I almost choked on Taco Bell earlier tonight. Not because the food wasn’t good, but because I don’t know how to chew my food half the time when I’m eating, and I always eat fast… because I’m an idiot like that. Anyway, I made it through the ordeal… obviously, since I’m writing this check in update. I’ve just finished getting the Updates page updated with last month’s updates archive. So that means I’m now ready to proceed on with more site building this month.

2025-08-31-SUN-05:02-CST – NEW PAGES FOLLOWED ON FACEBOOK – ROUND 4 – PLACEHOLDER – Here is the latest roundup of pages I’ve followed recently on Facebook. These listings are for a variety of pages on topics that may include clothing, fishing, music, outdoor gear, travel, and more. Many of these are businesses. An official directory of these listings is in the works. – Note: Due to today being the last day of August 2025, and I have not collected my following list at any point this month, this is a placeholder update with listings to be added later. I plan to get the list edited sometime this evening or through the night.

2025-08-31-SUN-03:45-CST – SITE BUILDING – New directories on the blog: Hashtags, Websites A-Z, and Youtube Remixes. There are also a lot of new pages added to the site this month. I choose not to list them in this update as some of them may be removed at some point in the future based on similarity. Check the Site Navigation list in the sidebar.

Currently In Progress:

As of: 2025-10-05-SUN-15:10-CST – I’m having a busy weekend. I’m working on replacing some of my old hardcover books with pdf file replacements from Anna’s Archive. Yeah, I know pdf in place of real books. I hate it, but I’m in a position where I have to offload some baggage and weight. I never know when I’m going to have to get up and move somewhere again. The last move was hell with all the shit I’ve been hoarding for years lol. I don’t want to do that again.

Disclaimers:

Some things to note about the content I post on this website. Also these disclaimers will eventually be moved to a more appropriate page at some point in the future.

Horoscopes Disclaimer:

I enjoy checking the horoscopes and posting my comments about them. I don’t really take the horoscopes too serious. Mostly I read them out of curiosity to see if anything corresponds to events happening in my life. I am also not “religious”, nor “atheist”. I value that I have the ability to listen to spiritual-based teachings without getting caught up in the “thou better do this shit or else because god said so” way of thinking. I also value that I can learn, and dare I say, at times be guided in life some way, or inspired by the horoscopes to frame my choices and thought patterns a certain way. In the end, it all comes down to karma for me, and I choose to be guided by me, and me alone… not someone else’s idea of who or what I’m supposed to be, or how I’m supposed to act, based on their beliefs.

Information Disclaimer:

All information provided on this website is provided as is. Every effort for accuracy is a top priority, however this depends on the sources where information is curated from. D98.co is not responsible for any unintended inaccuracies.

Product Links:

I share a lot of product links on this website, primarily from Amazon. It should be noted that I am not affiliated with Amazon, nor any other retail outlet, and I do not receive any compensation for sharing product links. I simply enjoy sharing product links for things I have either bought and enjoyed myself, or would consider buying, or simply sharing for the spirit of sharing products that someone else may find useful.

Lemmy:

I’ve been checking out Lemmy.ml frequently lately. It’s my understanding that it is a federated version of Reddit. I’ve seen some interesting and informative topics posted there that people are discussing. I am now listing them for resource value.

NOTE: This section of the site is starting to look like it could use it’s own dedicated page, or perhaps even it’s own directory on the blog. I haven’t decided which direction to go for this, but I am looking at moving this content to a more appropriate place at some point in the future since I keep coming back to it.

ANOTHER NOTE: There is another site similar to Lemmy called PieFed I’m gonna have to check out. I should actually I will have to check it out in more depth to see if it’s worth adding to my content curation workflow… and I think it would be. I’ve glanced over it and found this post about a website that generates a bookshelf image based off of your Goodreads account. It never hurts to have multiple sources to curate content from. Also I’m considering to set up a new Reddit account as well.
