Things I shouted into the void during the month of September 2025
What this is:A quick way to figure out which collaboration skill you need to work on right now. Not a diagnosis—just a mirror to see where you’re getting stuck. Why it matters:Sometimes conversations feel hard, but we don’t know why....
An interview with the author of Innovative solutions
Back in June, I wrote a post about how I had started keeping track of certain habits. These were things I wanted to improve upon by doing every single day. I’ve done a somewhat good job of actually doing this since then. First, as I said...
O ano divide-se em duas estações; cerveja loira e preta.

In Worthing, the dogs are back on the beach (from which they are banned from May to September) and are happily chasing balls thrown by their obliging owners. And now the crows, of which there are legions, are joining in. Keeping a beady...

In typesetting any long-running chunk of text to fit on physical sheets of paper, page-breaks will inevitably happen, and some of those page breaks will inevitably happen in ways that don’t please us. When this happens, we often have...
I find it fascinating that so many people fall for the fallacy that artificial intelligence is reliable enough to guide decision‑making. And sometimes I find it funny, too. Brazilian startup Jumpad is intriguing from the pitch itself: a...
I’m still experimenting with ChatGPT and Claude as proofreaders for my blog posts. Because I’ve been writing more posts lately, I’ve been learning the good and the bad more rapidly than I would have expected when I started this. Time for...

I feel like every decade there's some unofficial meeting where everyone comes to the table and asks: "So, poptimism. How is this still a thing?" I've stumbled across a lot of great essays about it recently that all echo the same thoughts...
I’m a professional hater. To hate on shit like me, you have to have already faced it. Browsers are a tough spot to market on. There’s a ton of choices, and you don’t know which to pick. The default would be Google Chrome, up next comes...
TheWrapI typically reserve this kind of link for Foofaraw, but the idea of Steven Soderbergh doing a Star Wars movie is just too fascinating. I feel like you could add up the budget of his last ten movies and they still wouldn’t equal a...

October 2025. Matlock. Your £10.15 day return to Matlock from Sheff gives you an hour and six minutes, which is just enough time to tick your new GBG entry, consider how pretty England is in The Fall*, wonder if there’s a bar in that...

The Marginalian was born on October 23, 2006 as a kind of field notebook on my expedition through the wilderness of life, searching for signposts. We live in a hexadecimal world that loves the round anniversaries, the numbers that polish...
I often enjoy other bloggers' weekly notes, so I'll give it a shot myself. Terminal stuffI'm still deep in the terminal-emulated rabbit hole with Neovim, Tmux, and a supporting cast of characters including chezmoi for dotfiles, tmuxp for...
This week I tried an experiment. I booked a small apartment somewhere in the countryside and went there for three days without bringing any devices with me that could go online. The only things I brought were a dumb phone, formerly known...
