In 1976, Mason Resnick took a workshop with Garry Winogrand.We looked at the portfolio without hearing a word of explanation. Winogrand spoke little. He seemed bored and restless, uncomfortable about being stuck in a classroom. When he...
When I was a kid I was obsessed with Project Ako. They used to play it all the time on the SciFi Channel (along with Akira and Ninja Scroll). But there was something about Project Ako in particular that really drew me in. It was...

There haven't many Sky scraper-related updates for a while, mainly because it's summer, and I prefer to spend most of my spare time chasing airplanes. But the weather during last two weeks of July wasn't exactly conducive to any sort of...
My wife’s grandfather passed away near the start of this year, and while going through his things her family found an iMac that nobody knew the password to. I’m sort of the go-to person in the family for problems like this, but it also...
If you're interested in the goings-on of Collxn, I just launched a new blog called Connxn, and with it an article that talks about what's new today.For the most part, I'm going to keep the more developer-y topics on this site. Here's an...
Another blog post? The second one in two days. My mind has been occupied with running lately, so much so that it got me thinking about all the things I learned from running over the last 20 years. I'm not saying I'm some sort of running...
During all my time with KDE projects, I've never made an app from scratch.. Except now. Today my first KDE app ever, KomoDo, was released on Flathub! It's a simple todo application for todo.txt format and parses todo.txt files into a...
The movie “Elizabethtown” is 20 years old this year, and I re-re-re-watched it again recently; it’s not a particularly popular movie, but it’s one of those that I can’t watch without having it leave a deep crater in my heart every time…...
Hey, want to learn something new? And now for something completely different...
Unless someone wrote an article about that exact thing, a plain full-text search engine cannot answer a question like this: What animal is featured on a flag of a country where the first small British colony was established in the same...
I go through the same cycle every week. Throughout the week I collect interesting links that I come across, and then on Friday I sit down, go through the list and put together this linkdump. I don't specifically go looking for things to...
On the screen to my right, I just noticed what amounts to an advertisement for AI. Someone uploads their resumé and submits the following prompt: “Can you make a storybook for my 2- and 4-year-old daughters explaining my career in the...
I felt a brief pause before starting this entry today. I have this desire to try and maintain novelty with my thoughts, so I don't want to harp on the same thoughts over and over again in sequence between entries. Unfortunately, though,...
I used to chew gum a lot as a kid. Remember that zebra decorated pack, I think it was called Fruit Stripe? And then there Bubblicious. Probably didn’t spell that right. The point is, I loved chewing gum. Every once in a while I’d get...
A polarised world is usually a disaster but the entertainment-quotient is enormous. And so, as much as I dislike the kind of polarisation that's happening in my small little world of software developers about AI and LLM-driven software...
Been browsing powRSS a lot more lately, and it's really helped fill out my RSS reader feed. I fee like I always have something interesting to read from a variety of bloggers and topics. Here's a few that especially seemed...

Like many, I've always romanticized the idea of traveling long-term, all while earning my living solely through my laptop and my phone. I've loosely experimented with this, traveling for periods from a week to three months while working...
If you are new around here, you won’t notice the changes I have recently made to my site - but if you’ve visited here before, things will be looking quite different! I did a full rewrite of my blog using the Antfustyle Astro template,...
Day 23, What words of wisdom would you give to your younger self? What wisdom would I give myself that wasn’t earned? I think my younger self would laugh. Like he always did at his parents and at the world. He didn’t think much of idle...
Summer’s my least favorite season, but that’s not to say I hate it or anything. Yeah, the 90+ degree days with heat indices of 100-115 wear on me quickly, running feels like more of a slog, and the mosquitos drive me nuts, but there’s a...
Here's a pretty photo I made using Python and some neat mathematics and statistics. So he was the original photo of my friend's dog for reference. So you absolutely could get the photo above using some filter in Photoshop or your...
Succede più spesso di quanto pensiate: qualcuno lascia l’azienda, a volte con il sorriso, a volte con la scatola di cartone piena di effetti personali e un’espressione perplessa. Pochi minuti dopo, su Slack o in mailing list interne,...
Listen to A Conversation With a Voicemail I Will Never Delete Today is your birthday. It’s the day I allow myself to call you. My thumb hovers over your name in my contacts, a name I will never have the heart to move to an "In Memoriam"...
