It’s Blogvent, day 12, where I blog daily in December! I admit I’m not a huge podcast person. No, scratch that: I love listening to podcasts but I never have time to, and when I finally do, I think, “wow, I should be more of a podcast...

It's time to clip my trotters! I've never been a nail-biter, which means that every few weeks I need to get the shears out and clip the trotters 😁 I tend to pay little attention to them, but there is always a day when I am suddenly aware...
As I write this, there is a retired couple sitting in the coffee shop across from me reading books together. I can only hope to one day be doing the same! Reading together and conversing about those ideas is still possible. It is an act...
I had another extended hiatus. Last weekend was the final of my best friends' weddings. Once that was all said and done, I got sick and have been dealing with that for the past week. I've mostly been sleeping all day and dealing with...
When Scrooge awoke it was so dark, that, looking out of bed, he could scarcely distinguish the transparent window from the opaque walls of his chamber. He was endeavouring to pierce the darkness with his ferret eyes, when the chimes of a...
Este otoño ha sido un otoño muy movido. Muchas visitas, muchos viajes, muchos reencuentros. Es (o ha sido), además, el primero en esta nueva ciudad. En general, los otoños me resultan bastante menos tranquilos de lo que me gustaría....
This is an awesome post. I may end up doing something similar to Alex, though I’m not sure my drivel on social media over the last twenty years is really all the effort. It’d still be a type of online digital journal, so it might be...
Switching from Chrome, Edge, or even Firefox to Vivaldi usually starts with one question: “What do I do about my ad blocker and all my carefully tuned filter lists?” As someone who lives in Vivaldi for both personal browsing and security...
One downside to working as a school librarian is that we tend to be siloed. I don't even see the other librarians in my district most of the time - let alone any other librarians. So when people hear I'm a librarian and say "yeah, makes...
The Holy Bible is a collection of books. So I have split them up. I will read it in 1 year, every day ~15 minutes of reading. Why read it? The First Letter to Timothy is Paul’s personal guide for his young helper Timothy, written around...
Há 24 anos, no dia 8 de setembro de 2001, Kylie Minogue lançava a canção “Can’t Get You Out of My Head”, e 24 anos depois ela ainda possui a mesma atmosfera descolada e futurista. Não posso dizer que eu era um ávido ouvinte na época (eu...
The national drink of Argentina is the “Fernando”, aka Fernet Branca with Coca-Cola: 3 parts Fernet, 7 parts Coke, fill with ice and serve cold. You’re welcome. This is the moment Deadpool and Wolverine discover such drink. I’m pretty...

"Veduta della Piazzetta di S. Marco" from the "Gran Teatro di Venezia", published by Domenico Lovisa, c. 1717.
December 2025. Cambridge. I barely spent an hour at the Mill Road Winter Fair, enough for a couple of pubs, a couple of carols (is “Get Lucky” a carol ?), an ounce of regret I’d already had lunch (Tesco Meal Deal) and was meeting Curry...
Book #3 for the local Book Club.
I ran into an example of especially bad design on a web page yesterday. Not “how it looks” design; “how it works” design. Here’s an excerpt from an online payment page: Looks straightforward, right? Just click in the field, type in the...
A few weeks ago, I spent some time with my aunt and my mom. We were catching up and sharing stories about my grandmother and the house they grew up in. When we got on the topic of forgotten family pets, a memory I hadn't thought of in...

Ich versuche gerade Feyerabend zu lesen und verzweifle ein bisschen daran, dass es von jedem Text ungefähr zehn Varianten gibt. Die Ausgabe von "Against Method" aus 1993 enthält zwei Vorworte und zwei Einleitungen, ein Teil, der in der...
