Why read the book? Anthony McCarten’s Darkest Hour chronicles Winston Churchill’s first weeks as Prime Minister in May 1940, as Nazi forces overrun Europe and Britain faces invasion. McCarten draws on diaries, speeches, and archives to...
I’ve tried all the major note-taking apps in the Apple ecosystem. For some years, starting more than a decade ago, I used Simplenote, then Drafts, then Bear. I used Ulysses for a while, though that’s really more of a text editor than a...
The most popular link last time (all the way back in September!) was this abundance meme, with this confession from an AI hater second. This is a lovely piece of writing about childhood memories and standing stones:"People who were taken...

I definitely have a problem with my phone and I'm not sure I need to deal with it
Not every hike delivers stunning photos, and that’s okay. A recent walk near Ebersberg took us through forests, along a lake, and past quiet villages—scenes that felt peaceful but proved tricky to capture. The light wasn’t ideal, the...

Over the last decade, I’ve spent countless hours going through the archives of Austin Kleon’s blog and Tumblr (the latter was especially an important anchor when I was down with typhoid for a month, back in 2018 and couldn’t do anything...
这篇博客探讨了时间管理中的一个常见误区——“时间是挤出来的”。文章指出，所谓“没时间”往往并非时间真的不足，而是个人选择和意愿的体现。即使拥有大量空闲时间，如果缺乏做某事的决心，时间也可能被用于娱乐而白白流逝。真正的关键在于主动分配和优先安排，只要下定决心，总能为想做的事情找到时间。文章通过作者个人跑步和读书的例子，强调了主动“抽”出时间的重要性，而非被动等待时间自然出现。

“Words are events, they do things, change things. They transform both speaker and hearer… feed understanding or emotion back and forth and amplify it,” Ursula K. Le Guin wrote. Words are the invisible hands with which we touch each...
Three days from today (2024-11-09) marks a year since my first running workout and it is just amazing to look back and see how things have changed.
Happy Birthday Bex. With your infectious smile and thirst for life, you have shown me so much joy. You have helped me expect more out of myself and others. But also taught me how to have grace with myself when I fall short. I’m proud of...
I was too ambitious with my initial weekly sharing (weekly 15). I’ve decided to make it a bit more achievable — without a specific number. The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world. - Dr. Paul...
I spent the evening working on an app called Poster. The app cross posts between Bluesky and Mastodon/GoToSocial. It’s not special, but it was fun to write. It took awhile, since my Python is still very noobish, and very much a “how do I...

One day, a Donkey and a Tiger got into an argument over the color of the grass. “The grass is blue,” said the Donkey. “That’s ridiculous,” replied the Tiger. “The grass is clearly green.” When the argument grew more and more intense,...

My maternity leave is over, I'm back at GitHub, and I'm ready to go. Kinda.
The announcement read: From September 30, 2025, access to Imgur from the United Kingdom is no longer available. I missed that one and only picked up on it when visiting the Linux Mint forums to look up some issue or other. Imgur is...
I didn't even post about Halloween. The heresy. The cheek, the nerve, the gall, the audacity and the gumption! But the truth is, I did not have time to even think about it. I didn't even rewatch the holy trinity of Over The Garden Wall,...

I found myself on a boat in the middle of Lake Biwa today. A glassy lake reflects the beautiful clouds, the city of Otsu and Mt. Hiei. This is the other side of Kyoto's eastern mountains (Higashiyama)....
The terminal stage of de-Googling is to go back to using a 90s-style dumb phone. Devices like the Nokia 105 aren't as old-fashioned as you might think, but can they substitute for a smartphone in day-to-day use?
