I love what you write people, and I hope you keep doing so
One thing that's been on my mind recently is the term "normie." I started thinking about it because a few friends would talk about their grievances in work or school, saying that they were constantly surrounded by normies. This is...
Just a quick recap of what we've been up to lately. We spent the last week of summer in Zurich. Right after breakfast on Sunday, I headed to the airport, and later that day I joined an Airsidefoto tour.

I’ve talked about my note taking “issues” in the past. I’m pretty happy with my current digital setup. I use obsidian on the desktop and I use QuillPad on my Android phone with Nextcloud in the middle. I will admit that things there are...

It's been a little over two weeks since I got back home after staying away for 3 months.

I've been off gallivanting again, but am now back home. This gallivant was a two-day walk (rather little of which was spent actually walking) down in Sussex, with my brother and the doughty remnants of the walking group. We spent the...

I’m going through a phase of figuring out what I can get out of the cloud and “own”. Particularly with regard to streaming services. I’ve never paid for Spotify. But I’ve had iTunes Match so that I can take all of the weird,...
I published an article on The New Leaf Journal about how the 2024-25 Miami Heat had the worst win-loss record (37-45) of any team to make the NBA Playoffs in the 16-team playoff era (beginning in 1983-84) with a positive net rating (N.A....

Three things I thank God for, yeah, four: Bad scare this morning, with the specter of surgery, turned out to be much less serious than suspected. Great time last night doing a last-minute online group, sort of an “Ask Anything” within...
