In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Oy oy oy. Each day I think I'm better; I wake up, get dressed, do morning stuff and then by like 3-4 my body collapses and I get short of breath. Covid's got hands. Sat...
Brave rabbit cop Judy Hopps and her friend, the fox Nick Wilde, team up again to crack a new case, the most perilous and intricate of their careers. Good fun for the kids, social commentary in a cute package for the grown ups. Strong...

How I stopped caring whether or not people would call me an old fart so I could keep ranting.
You can evaluate how much a specific goal or value matters to you by looking at the sacrifices you are willing to make to achieve it. But I don't mean every kind of sacrifice. There are sacrifices that are easy to make. There is not much...
Early this morning, Sharif University of Technology, Iran’s leading technical university, was bombed. As of the writing of this post, it was unclear whether the bombing was carried out by the United States or Israel or both. Neither has...
In my last post I talked about losing photos and the false sense of security that comes from having "a backup." But even if you have copies everywhere there's a quieter problem that nobody warns you about. Your files are degrading right...
March 2026. Chesterton. Back down in Waterbeach, where Dad was looking better groomed than myself, and then a catch-up with Dortmund Annie to discuss “stuff” at the Haymakers. A possible answer to a quiz question, Milton (via Waterbeach)...

Why logging at every layer of a service produces noise, and how to log only at the handler level while propagating context from below.
I realised I had tabs open on my laptop. My Gripes With The Artist’s way by Andromeda Zines. I’m hardly the first person to point out some of these issues but I wanted to throw my hat into the ring regardless. In a world that pushes...
Recently I fell into the Instagram Reels trap where unknown artists play a snippet of their music and then offer one of their CDs for free. You only pay for shipping. Until now I had ignored these videos, but after seeing the same...
I've been building an API recently with a stack that I think hits a sweet spot of just enough structure to keep a team productive, not so much that you're fighting the tools. The stack is Huma for the HTTP layer, sqlc for database...
Happy Easter to all of you! The week has come and gone in a flash, and a lot of things happened this time around, thanks to the few days off I got. We are even going to the Moon again. and honestly it feels amazing to do so. Here’s a...
So yesterday I received an email from Admiral, our insurance provider, where we have a combined policy for both our cars and our home. Last year this cost £1,426.00, but this year the renewal had gone up by a huge 33%, to £1,897.93...
Are you ever surprised by something past-you did? I ask because this week NetGalley ‘reminded’ me that I had been approved for this ARC back in late 2020–a good four years after I had stopped reading the series (see footnote 1). My only...
Used the free days to go to two museums; ended up visiting an exhibition about work culture, about the oceans, and about sex work. All museum texts include an English portion, so don't get discouraged when you spot German words; feel...
Why read the book? C.S. Lewis wrote The Great Divorce. He tells the story as a dream. Souls in Hell get a chance to visit Heaven for one day. A bus takes them there. Each person meets someone from Heaven who tries to help them stay. But...
Part One: The Long Hall The tremor starts in my right thumb on the third hour. I’m copying a land dispute from Henan — characters I don’t read, just reproduce. My brush moves right to left, column after column. The tremor makes the...

I love a good podcast. Especially at night when I am in bed. Forty minutes on a good topic and I will nod off to sleep half way. If I wake up through the night I tune into the second half. But here is what's starting to get on my paps!...

Nilay Patel, writing for The Verge: After a long series of mergers and spinouts and an extremely odd moment where it was part of Verizon, Yahoo is once again an independent, privately held company. And it has big properties in sports and...
The great paradox, the great pain of human relationships is that they are so often not relational: two lonelinesses colliding without real contact, one or both orienting to the other not as a person but as a projection, mistaking for...

Ferocious, hissing and spitting, and yet utterly defenseless unless I run away. All talk, nothing to show for it. Often I finish fights in my head hours after the fact. Sometimes I bite once and regret it forever. Because I'm supposed to...
