Finished reading my 20th book of 2025. Some of my favorite quotes from Bloom Town: Exodus by Ally North
I did the Fall Color 5k Run and Walk at the Morton Arboretum this morning. I say “did” to downplay the fact that I don’t run races like this, I walk them. I got terrible shin splints 20+ years ago and haven’t run more than a few hundred...
I have a list of things I'd like to accomplish. These are things I would enjoy doing -- not chores or trivial items. Here is a sampling: Play the guitar Learn to sketch Hike the Grand Canyon Read the entire Bible Write a book Take some...
Man könnte wahrscheinlich noch viel sagen zum Begriff der Entdifferenzierung, der ja nicht nur im Bezug auf Systeme eine Bedeutung hat. In der erwähnten Stelle über die Postmoderne (GdG 1145) stellt Luhmann fest, dass Entdifferenzierung...

October 2025. Sheffield. I don’t do beer festivals (or tasters, or dimpled mugs) but I also don’t turn down invites from Pub royalty, either, so put principles aside and joined Alfie/Ian/Mr Chelsea on his Sheffield overnighter, starting...
We took the kids to an annual halloween party at Needham park this weekend. It was cut short because those dark scary cloulds brought with them great big rain drops and some hail. They looked really cool from the hill. When the little...
I’m not usually one to self-diagnose bullshit. There’s been a lot of unanswered questions about me that I wanted answered. I can’t consult mental health professionals because frankly Serbia is PRIMITIVE. To explain Borderline Personality...
On my changing rhythms of reading habits, going from book binges to digital distractions and everything in between.
I am human. I only mention this because of what I know some will say. What some have probably already said. On my mother's side, somewhere in the past long lost to records, there was a Riamo mating. I know they are welcome in the core...
Para celebrar mi primer aniversario de Linux sin Windows a mis alrededores, voy a escribir sobre mi experiencia con las distros que probé, lo bueno, lo malo y lo calavera. Voy a contarlo cronológicamente y según me acuerde. KaliNo...
There are those moments in life you know already from the start are going to be the rare once in a lifetime events. This evening was one of those times. On a dark and wet autumn Friday afternoon my entire family and me dressed up to the...
We’re often told that being a good person means being open and welcoming to everyone. We hear phrases like “everyone belongs” and “we’re all connected.” These ideas are beautiful and true in an important way—every person has value and...

Back in August, I demonstrated the power of a drop in the bucket. One of my drops in the bucket is supporting Canada’s economy by buying Canadian as much as possible. Here’s what my mornings look like these days. Granola — Oatally...
Earlier this year I've read the Earthsea series, and it wowed me. However, everywhere I look, people are praising Left Hand of Darkness as the greatest book by Ursula Le Guin. It is straightforward to obtain (there are a few copies in my...
In this 2-hour video, I talk with Maxim about the themes of writing and thinking, as well as productivity at-large. Maxim is a professor of linguistics at a university in Russia. He has a PhD in philology. The first point of interest we...
We are the only animal captive in a cage of its own making. Its bars can look like many things — the screen, the self, the scintillation of being right — but it is from within it that we look out and call our little view the world,...
De vez en cuando reviso el discovery feed de Bearblog filtrando solo las publicaciones en español para ver si encuentro nuevos blogs, pero es algo triste ver que no hay muchos, mientras que en ingles siempre surge uno que otro. Me gusta...
This was the home of Marjorie Merriweather Post — the daughter of CW Post who founded the Postum Cereal Company. You probably know more about her other home, Mar-a-Lago. +Currently Listening: Animal Collective “Merriweather Post...
Occasionally in life we come across something that is so obvious that we assume everyone does it, yet we realise it's not the norm. I was working on a project last week and explained to a colleague a technique I utilise; he was literally...
I have come to realise---or rather, I have become more and more convinced that---fuzzing research has stalled not because we have no further contributions to make, but because the contributions that we are making are either incremental...
Sometimes you run into a truly inspirational piece of software that it’s a wonder even exists. I found 0x0.st recently and it very much falls into this bucket. It’s essentially a simple, no-account, temporary file hosting site where you...
So, a few days ago, I wrote about how my bookmarking system is a mess. I’m still thinking about what to do about that, but I’m still slowly going through my saved RSS articles, my bookmarks, and my notes. I’m weeding things out in the...
With growing amount of running selfhosted services, it becomes a bit tedious to keep track of new software releases. Luckily, GitHub offers RSS Streams for Releases and Tags (and some more). By adding those streams to the RSS reader, I...
October 25, 2025 I updated the design of this site today. It’s simpler, faster, and easier to read. The new look sticks to a clean black-and-white theme that automatically switches to dark mode if your device prefers it. Links are always...
It's Sunday afternoon and as the clouds drift in the sky and the weather cools down for the season, I can't help but still feel like every day is more of the same. My family who was visiting left for the airport a few hours ago, and I'm...
I’m a hobbyist-generalist. I spend all my time on things interesting to me. I also read blogs to further those interests. I wrote for work in the past, and I’ve been nudged lately to write on things that interest me. So, this is my...

On his Tumblr, Austin Kleon shared some excerpts from this article by Ted Hope, who wrote: “If you make films, it is your responsibility to help others discover what is good to watch. If you love films — or a particular type of film — it...
Dicen que leer está de moda He olvidado este rincón de internet demasiado tiempo. El verano ha pasado rápido y apenas he tenido tiempo para hilar cuatro pensamientos que llevar escritos aquí con algo de gracia. El curso empezó y el...
Hiked part 1/20 of the Marskramer Path, 25.5 kilometres from Bad Bentheim to Oldenzaal. The sturdy Bentheim Castle dominates the city. The largest high-altitude castle in northwest Germany stands proudly above the city and is built from...
First time in Vietnam and we were welcomed by Typhoon Fengshen, heavy rain and flooding. That did not stop the locals however, who simply donned their ponchos and continued on. ベトナム台風...
