At a local car park. It’s good to differentiate your pricing. Someone printed this and thought “Yeah, that’s great.” This felt like another tough week. At the start, I was feeling run down, which I think was an after-effect of Saturday’s...
So, I’m a well known note taker. I’ve talked about it many times on this here blog. I will undoubtedly talk about it many more times. I’m a bit of a note taking junkie. But, I’ve moved between platforms so much over the years, my...

'So, this is death. Well.' With these words, on this day in 1881, Thomas Carlyle died, at the ripe age of 85 – remarkable longevity for one who seemed never to be in good health. 'Thomas Carlyle is dead at last, by the acknowledgment of...

I'm becoming worried. I keep relapsing into using pornography. The despair is marching its way back into my life. I am losing motivation to pray for deliverance because I feel so ashamed and alone. It's as if I can't learn from grace; I...
Ich arbeite mich immer noch durch Schöpferisch leben von Verena Kast. An einigen Stellen habe ich das Gefühl, mein Lesen würde von einem Psychologie-Studium profitieren, aber dann versorgt mich das Buch auch wieder mit den perfekten...

What the Public Record Actually Shows The Epstein case is usually understood as a sex trafficking scandal involving a corrupt financier and his accomplice. That framing is accurate—both were convicted of crimes against minors. But public...
There is one thing I miss terribly about the iPhone, and that is the seamless iCal integration. I’m on Android (Nokia X5), and subscribing to a remote iCal involves a few hoops, shuffles and dances. I have always made use of ICSx and it...

Did you know you can 3D print a guitar? There are some amazing models online, like this one for example, or this. Printing a neck is probably not feasible (though I've seen it done), but a guitar body is really not that complicated (the...
The Jobs Crisis My job, as I have known it for the past twenty-five years, is no more. As someone who's only ever worked at small companies [1] or on my own, I probably had to do much more than software developers at large corporate...
I am not fond of this recent genenerative AI movement. It is a profound waste of resources, a theft machine masquerading as intelligence, and generally a tool which enables numerous social harms at scale. I am a firm proponent that we...

For some reason, I'm obsessed with camera battery chargers. Maybe it's because I can't find a perfect one. The Nitecore UNK2 battery charger came very close to my ideal charger, but the poorly designed USB cable ruined it. Plus, it could...
I just saw your selfie after you cut your own hair[1]. Even though I live in the city and have a barber, cutting my own hair has been always in the back of my mind, something I am “pining for” (lack of a better phrase). Do you have any...

This is a vent post. Feel free to ignore. I keep finding tech industry more and more dissapointing and annoying and harmful. Every year it gets more and more frustrating to read what new way of siphoning money and mental health has been...

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.
