Carvana hauled away the Niro today and I am now about $13K richer.Well, I was, until I then spent $1500 on an extremely well-regarded ebike. Currently it’s on Black Friday sale for $1300 with an incredibly generous bundle of accessories...
Mood: Like finding a bird that can finally sing. The morning felt like a bruise. Not the sharp, immediate kind, but the dull and aching throb that settles into your bones and makes the air feel smothering. I canceled all my accessibility...
On the cusp of the snowy doorstep, I felt a child-like excitement. I wanted to run outside and embrace the snow — the first proper snow, as we would say here, in at least a year. This is the kind of snow that will lie on the ground., I...

This is my 200th post in 2025. There’s still over a month to go in this year, so I’ll have more. When I started this blog, it was going to be nothing but books. I wanted a place where I could talk about books I’ve read, what I was going...

Briefly noted. Lynneguist on Facebook today tracked her work weeks: typically 45 hours, rising to 60 at this point in the fall. I reported: Back when I still had an academic life, 60 hours a week was the absolutely standard work week,...
I just published a survey of NBA championship defenses from 1983-84 through 2024-25 (I started with 1983-84 because that was the first season the NBA used its current 16-team playoff format). By “championship defenses,” I mean team stats...
I am reviewing this late, but this is the first gear that I bought when I decided to restart motorcycling. I still think that, after you get a decent helmet (in my case, borrowed), you should get a decent pair of gloves. I have never...
Im Oktober habe ich ein Abstract für den Workshop "Lesen als soziale Praxis" eingereicht, das jetzt abgelehnt wurde. Die Idee war, das Konzept sozialer Praxis in eine Medien- und Theoriegeschichte einzuordnen um zu fragen, wie das...

fx is the new jq (via): I’m a longtime user of jq, but its language is… not intuitive to me. I spent a lot of time searching for prewritten jq programs I can use, or reading the docs trying to figure out the exact thing that I want to...
Zaczęło się od tego, że gdzieś na Mastodonie mignęła mi informacja, że Mozilla zaczyna coraz bardziej pchać ejaj do Firefoxa. Zniesmaczony tą perspektywą przypomniałem sobie, że istnieje coś takiego jak LibreWolf, którego jedynym celem...
The Shai-Hulud npm worm is back, and the sequel is nastier. Security teams are tracking a new wave branded by the attackers themselves as “Sha1-Hulud: The Second Coming.” It builds directly on the original Shai-Hulud npm supply chain...

📚 Book 24 of 2025 - Finished: Midnight Rain by Haley Cass (5/5⭐) I’ve known about this book for a while but kept putting it off. The special thing about Midnight Rain is that it’s an alternate ending to Haley Cass’ book Those Who Wait,...
I finished a game. Not an old one, from 10 years; not even from a few years back - this one was released in 2025. Ba! It was released this very month. I am now one of the cool, hip, trendy kids. I enjoy the new thing. And if Gozer the...
