Uncertainty. Do you endure it, bend it to your will, or let it consume you whole? Do you shrink in its presence hoping it'll pass you by and knock on someone else's door? What about fear, anger, resentment? Does it paralyze you? Freeze...
I'm another step closer to being back up to doing real-time monthly reading updates. In June, I managed a lot more reading driven by pleasure and curiosity than last time, and I also varied my formats and genres a bit more, which is one...
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the internet, writing for The Guardian: I gave the world wide web away for free because I thought that it would only work if it worked for everyone. Today, I believe that to be truer than ever. Regulation and...
So, September has been a total bust when it comes to reading. I just have not been able to settle my attention enough to actually get any reading done. I wrote back at the half way mark, that I was hoping to catch up. That did not...
Kilka minimalnych zmian na stronie. Po pierwsze zmieniłem motyw z kradzionego na Apollo (link do repozytorium: Apollo). Wygląda całkiem podobnie do poprzedniego, podoba mi się wizualnie, za to nie wymaga praktycznie żadnych zmian z mojej...

My first unique - i.e. not ported over from old writings - blogpost on this little site was on August 13th, 2024. This current post is a little late on it but it was a nice realization today that this blog is officially a year old. Time...
I have been doing a lot of work these days on my themes. The immediate goal is two-fold: (i) make the modus-themes more flexible so they can be used as a the basis for other theme packages and (ii) make the ef-themes the first project to...
I devoured these pages in two nights. I had promised myself three, but after meeting my second goal, I couldn’t stop. I needed to know what came next. What came next was life. Life and death. And that was it. The story was hauntingly...
It is a regrettable historic error that the date uses the American convention of putting the numerical month before the day. O rly?!

Does this happen to you? Someone shows you something they built. You look at it carefully, think through the implications, and give specific, considered feedback. They walk away deflated. Later, someone tells you that you "seemed...
In a recent editorial, Douglas Portmore (Notre Dame), the editor-in-chief of Ethics, sets forth some “initial guidelines” about AI use for the journal. He says his remarks “represent only my own opinions, not necessarily those of the...

I went over to a friend's house today and played around with his new 3D printer. We mostly perused directories with free design files. But we did get to print a few designs that looked pretty cool. I got to walk away with a few...

Casey recreated a dish from a recent night out by poaching pears, roasting squash and parsnip, grilling chicken and plating it with gem lettuce and a homemade cider vinaigrette. It was so good I could see this working into dinner...
Things that happened the week of September 21-27, 2025
I thought for a long time about this one. With only one day to go, here’s my submission for this month’s IndieWeb Carnival. The topic is second person birds, as chosen by Sophia. I love the non specific nature of this topic, it’s also...
Looking back at my blog post for this year I have realized that I often I forget to post things to my blog! I get so busy with projects that I forget, this is a good example where I thought I posted this but, apparently not. I have a...

September 2025. Sheffield. Back home in Sheffield, for a couple of days at least, the question is “How much time do I waste on this new GBG, then ?“. Once you’ve done it once (did I ever mention ?) there’s no real need to do it again,...
