I just received my BYOK device and I couldn’t be happier with it. One thing that I have been experimenting with since I received it are different workflows. Most mornings I do a brain dump in a daily note with the heading # Morning Pages...
When I was a kid the grocery store had a magazine rack when you walked in. That magazine rack also had comic books on it. If you had a spare two dollars you could pick up the latest Batman, Spiderman, or X-Men title. Many shops with a...
This is an entry from my journal in which I comment at length on how the desire for control can be useful and harmful. Another rainy day. The clouds have been low in the valley. I can barely see the opposite side, even though it is about...
We are doing another curl + distro online meeting this spring in what now has become an established annual tradition. A two-hour discussion, meeting, workshop for curl developers and curl distro maintainers. 2026 curl distro meeting...
My ILsee program for viewing Interlisp source files is written in Common Lisp with a McCLIM GUI. It is the first of the ILtools collection of tools for viewing and accessing Interlisp data. Although ILsee is good at its core...
January 28, 2026 Devices, apps which should I use, and for what? Do I have to pick one and commit to it? I always feel that pressure. MacBook Pro or iPad? Drafts, Bear, MarkEdit, BBEdit, or iA Writer? Why can't I just use them all?...
I hate everything. I used to really love technology. And I guess I still do, but I hate what a lot of tech, especially software, has become. It used to be either an app was free or it wasn’t. Usually the free stuff came with some other...
I’m not hardcore into travelling, maybe because every year or other year I travel to Aruba and Curaçao to visit family. This takes a bite into my vacation time and travel budget. Being a deaf solo traveller with a chronic illness also...
I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in daily posts. Hope you enjoy! More of them in the archive. New features in Android theft protection. Special mention to Brazil, where from now on, two of...
(Photo by Microsoft 365 on Unsplash) Somebody, somewhere, is always one click away from chaos. Sometimes it’s deliberate. Most of the time it’s accidental. Either way, the goal is the same: design the environment so one human can’t...
January 2026. Cleveleys. Blackpool. This Blackpool tram map is getting some use. More use than the actual trams that Friday, anyway. Two uncoventional new pubs in the GBG in Cleveleys, but the Wobblinn has one thing that might attract...

“Value capture is… where your values are rich and subtle or in the process of developing that way. And you get put in a setting or near a technology or an institution that presents you with a simplified, typically quantified version, and...
Josh Tumath on the new text scaling feature in Chrome Canary:Just like how the <meta name=viewport> tag tells the browser that your website is designed to work for small viewport sizes, the <meta name=text-scale> tells the browser, 'Hey,...
As a teen, I considered myself a "Grammar Nazi". I would frequently correct people's grammar, asserting that I knew the one "right" way to speak. In my early 20s, I learned about how (some) dictionaries are made. They look and see how...
This has been a feline-heavy month. I mean, every month is feline-heavy when you live with five cats and your sister with another five, but this one's been special. So let's see. GamingI've played Hidden Cats in Istanbul1 and can't wait...

Global Network Navigator (GNN); via Ford & Mason Ltd. If Adam Curry's MTV.com in 1993 was a text-based index of music reviews and industry gossip — basically the same format as a Gopher site or FTP server — then Global Network Navigator...

O post faz parecer que atualmente eu odeio os jogos feitos por empresas grandes, em parte é verdade. Não que eu não goste de certos jogos que todo streamer e rank 1 nos sites do alto mar estão jogando, mas é que parece que os jogos...
Abstract art is attractive for its ideas, the ideas that Kazimir Malevich explained to be pure creation as opposed to art's typical imitation of nature.
YouTubeThis is one to keep an eye on when it premiers March 1 on HBO. It stars Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini, but more importantly, it comes from writer and creator, Steve Conrad who is also the mind behind the...
Musings and ramblings on programming and things
In the famous fifth chapter of John Stuart Mill’s Autobiography, “A Crisis in My Mental History,” we learn about the moment that Mill realized that he was in very great trouble: From the winter of 1821, when I first read Bentham, and...
This is my entry for the IndieWeb Carnival of January 2026, hosted by Jeremiah It honestly took me a while to finish out of lack of moments to be inspired for it. I feel as if I wrote sentence by sentence in a range of weeks. This is...
Dear Ciara, There is change on the horizon. I’m not going to say anything about it yet, mostly in fear of jinxing things, but this change will likely have a significant impact on my future. While it is a positive change, there’s so much...
“There are more things … likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” “The truth is, we know so little about life, we don’t really know what the good news is and what the bad...
OK, so (not that) long story short: I'm back inside Emacs. I deeply enjoyed the Vim side-quest, so I can now say that I use both: Vim and Emacs, but it's time to return to the main storyline. See, Emacs is just so different from anything...
This morning has been mundane like any other, but the spiritual battles I fight still constantly rage within me like some kind of muted tempest. My emotions are quite volatile, and working through them has been a difficult task. Through...
The most popular link last time was this commentary on liking January, with Gerald's parsnips second. Are you in a computer literacy bubble? Probably.My obsession with Susan Orlean's fashion has only been enhanced by this closet tour....
Mozilla is in a state We have known the likes of Meta and the Entity Formally Known As Twitter have not been serious organisations for a long time (not that it stops them from causing enormous harm), and through the course of the last...
Last Sunday, approximately 1.5 years after its launch, my old website got retired1, and this new one got published. Maybe you’ve seen it already these past couple of days – if not, then welcome! In this post, I want to give you a glimpse...
Finished reading it. I will post the review soon.

On days when the sun ravages the earth I can see where you buried your dead—cracked tombstones, paint stripped off the bones, three-hundred-year-old names lost to time and the tide. Yes, the tide, the deep blue, water trapped where it...
You have to learn when a hobby or interest is truly detrimental or if it has just been demonized by the productivity cult. Sometimes people lament that all day they spend time on things they enjoy, but somehow it’s… bad? I understand...
Dear reader,Have you ever found a cool or interesting website, a blog, or anything that you bookmarked, but realized months or even years later that you hardly ever visit it? Or maybe you have a habit of checking these sites regularly?...

What’s the saying? “Necessity is the mother of invention.” Maybe in this case, “necessity is the mother of DIY.” I invented absolutely nothing. I merely became so fed-up with (i) looking for my phone’s USB cable when I need it, or (ii)...
Got with Eli and Nick for lunch. We'd been trying to get together for (checks notes... 2 years and 7 months!) and we weren't going to let a forecasted blizzard foil our plans. ⊕ Currently Listening: Helado Negro “Best For You and...
去年年底偶然读到一篇每月挑战的博客，觉得很有意思，所以今年自己也想做一下。不过原作者的挑战内容不太适合我本人，所以我打算按照自己的计划来，每个月挑战一件之前没做过或没做到过的事情，如果能借此养成新的习惯就更好了。 本月挑战 如题，我为自己定下的一月挑战主题是读外语原著。...
No pensé que iba a extender el post con un comentario que sin algunos contextos parecería legitimo. Pero tampoco es que sea dificil darse cuenta que es spam. Para evitar llamar la atención, voy a reemplazar por 4 asteriscos el nombre de...
As a Gen Z this has been my whole life. I left (didn't delete, unfortunately) Instagram in 2024. All my friends have my phone number but only one speaks to me regularly (without prompting with a link), and it took ages for her to realize...

Mitchell Hashimoto
I'm a developer living in Los Angeles, CA. I previously co-founded HashiCorp. Today I spend most of my time working on Ghostty, a new terminal emulator. I was part of the initial engineering team behind most of the HashiCorp products, such as Vagrant, Packer, Consul, Terraform, Vault, Nomad, Waypoint, and more. I don't work on any of those projects anymore. I was CEO for ~4 years, CTO for ~5 years, an individual contributor for ~2 years, and then left the company in 2023. I fly airplanes. ✈️ I'm an FAA licensed private pilot with an instrument rating (PPL ASEL IR). I currently fly a Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. I frequently share pictures of my flights.
