One thing I’ve learned about myself over the years is that I want to watch movies, but I want to have watched tv shows. Of course it isn’t black and white like that, there are exceptions on both sides, but broadly speaking, with movies...
April 2026. Loftus. North Yorkshire. I’d picked unsung Loftus for my campervan overnighter as it was free, a short bus ride to Staithes, and had a new GBG entry to tick. Sadly that was shut on Thursday, but next door Mad Alice’s was just...
Design tooling, LLMs, and why I still use a pencil. A friend and I were talking about AI and the question of where I lie on the spectrum came up: "I'm now on the handmade, artisanal, craftsperson end of the spectrum." A client project...
I’m proud to be part of a Guinness World Records attempt, running in a non-stop four-week relay around Princes Park to help conquer cancer. It also happens that my little brother ran into the record books this weekend. Every dollar I...
Look, I have literally no idea by what stroke of luck I was approved for this ARC, but (and) also, there was no way on this reality or any other, I would not request it. Beware: emotional abuse and narcissistic behavior; discussion of...
It’s a lovely Tuesday: ❯ https://{corp}.slack.com/archives/{channel}/{thread} ⏺ I can't fetch Slack URLs directly — the link points to a private Slack channel that requires authentication. Could you paste the message contents (or a...
An actor in Stanislavski training receives this instruction: before entering a scene, reconstruct why a character who loves their family would betray them. Not philosophically, but as embodied preparation. She builds the answer from...
This is a pretty personal post btw, not dark or anything but it may not be up your alley to have my ramblings and questions get to you or something. A few weeks ago my mom had a talk with me, when she discovered my videogame collection....
If there's one thing that I've internalized from years of work, it's that if you do something twice, write it down. I reference stuff I wrote 6 years ago daily. I'm now hitting a lot of the same questions and patterns for answering in my...
Question for the audience: Do you tell people you blog? I was reflecting on this recently, after I inadvertently mentioned to a colleague that I had blogged about a topic a few days earlier. That, of course, started the questioning from...
Here, for no particular reason, is a poem by Charles Stuart Calverley which perfectly demonstrates what Pope called the art of sinking in poetry – also the perils of ending a stanza with a two-syllable line. Changed I know not why my...
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. #VazaBigTech (pt_BR). Ctrl+Z, a new Brazilian organization dedicated to taking on big tech, in...
2026-04-28Hello!In comparison to yesterday's photo of a laboratory, this one is much more realistic.The outside of this building was... well, just a regular building from the looks of it. No fancy glass walls, no fancy bright colors. The...
Looking out from a viewing point near Ivinghoe Beacon. Photos like this never do justice to how breathtaking the landscape is in person. One of my lifelong school friends recently lost his dad, so on Monday I took the day off to attend...
I had a bit of a rocky morning, but this afternoon is turning out better. I had to take my mom to a doctor's appointment, and while I was waiting for her to finish up in the parking lot, it started to rain heavily. That's pretty normal...
The tighter the connection between business strategy and technical design, the easier for a software engineer to understand and implement. The more apparent this knowledge is, the easier for the AI to pick up and apply the principles and...
I messaged my friend Suliman: “Don’t roast me too hard, but I bought the two cutest Usahanas.” after I had ordered a medium sized Sanrio plushie and a small one to attach to a bag. Aptly, he replied: “I mean, she‘s cute. But girl, you...
This one's a reminder for me: if you aren't sure...
I saw this questionary on Sebastian's blog and was bored so I answered it. What’s the best sandwich? I always enjoy a simple basic sandwich: cheese, jam, lettuce, tomato and add avocado always! What was the first concert you attended? A...
There’s a beauty in how the Mac commits to “the desktop and files” metaphor. I think it’s admirable how ever since the earliest days of the Human Interface Guidelines, direct manipulation has been a core benefit of the operating systems:...
Yay I managed to re-beat Tetris Plus, the puzzle mode on the GB version! I beat this game when I first got it as a teen on the original Game Boy Pocket but I can’t have been playing on Very Hard (whicth is what I beat it on now) because...

I’ve been interested in the concept of the indie web for a few years now, but have struggled to take part in a meaningful way. I wrote about an early attempt in 2024 when I discovered that you can get a random RSS feed from...

Yesterday the new Commodore, run by YouTuber Perifractic (Christian Simpson) announced their new product, a faithful recreation of the C64C, the second revision of the Commodore 64. Essentially it's the same as the first one they...
"People who don't use AI will be left behind", they say. I can't emphasize enough how much I hate it when I hear/read shit like that because I'm pretty sure, in fact, that what will happen is the exact opposite. People who rely on AI are...
Ever since I kicked off the work on BlogMore I've had a renewed interest in writing on this blog (as you can probably tell from the stats and the calendar). But not just writing: also tweaking it, tidying it up, thinking about...
There’s something unsettling about being the new kid on the block, even as an adult. It’s not super obvious, at least not like back then when you were a literal child. No one is pointing or whispering. There’s no cafeteria to navigate or...
Quoted A love letter to cassette futurism by Mike Piggott (Twisted Wonderland) [C]assette futurism is a retro-futuristic aesthetic from around 1970-1985, and is a subgenre of sci-fi that essentially envisions a future through...
I try my best to stick to the grocery list but this was a really good deal for strawberries. I did that thing mixing 1 part white vinegar and 3 parts water, soak for 10 minutes and dry thoroughly to extend their freshness. Now I'm...
OBJETIVO:Esta entrada me servirá como nexo y guion de la siguiente.Tenía la intención de escribir sobre lo que ha sido, es y será este blog para mí, pero primeramente preguntaré a la IA que piensa sobre este espacio: PREGUNTA:Analiza y...
Inspired at IndieWebCampLast weekend was an absolute blast! I attended my first ever IndieWebCamp remotely, held at Düsseldorf. For those who are not familiar with it, it’s a two-day in person BarCamp (aka unconference) where anyone...
Lately I've been thinking and talking with a few friends about how people are strange when it comes to relationships. I personally know a few people who have a strange tendency to sugarcoat people for no good reason. By sugarcoating, I...
A Polish-Jewish family comes to the U.S. at the beginning of the twentieth century. There, the family and their children try to make themselves a better future in the so-called promised land. I postponed this for a while, up to the point...
I use AI for some things. I’m putting that out there right from the start because it will get rid of those people who are so unreasonable that they can’t even be arsed to hear me out. I get most of the arguments against “Artificial...

The Papirus icon theme is my favourite - I've used it for years and it continues to work beautifully. So while I've been rebuilding my Framework 13, it was one of the first things I installed. But there's a problem, dear reader. You see,...

Where aromatic rose and blackthorn shrub spring from shared soil you find what you seek once you realise that the mountain-god heeds my prayer as the echo of my steel I wrote the poem in the context of this journal entry: Doing what I must.

Hoje eu resolvi separar 1 hora do meu dia pra pesquisar algumas ideias do que poderia fazer pra melhorar o espaço, físico, que eu uso no dia-a-dia. Sabe, às vezes ter duas estantes enormes não faz sentido se você consegue encaixar tudo o...
Even after Friendster stopped being a social network I still checked in on the website from time to time. It’s evidently been a while since I did that though. Last time I looked, Friendster — having gone through a number of changes in...
He pensando, que como parte de tener un “jardín digital”, merece la pena incluir también colecciones de cosas. Tengo más opiniones sobre esto, pero creo que sigue siendo interesante para mí tener esto guardado aquí. Así que además de la...
This is becoming a bit of a theme, lose something, order a replacement, and then the lost item reappears. Earlier in the year it was an AirPod, now it is a water bottle. Couldn’t for the life of me locate my favourite water bottle, it is...
I spotted a remarkably simple demonstration of optical diffraction the other night, from looking across at the far away lights on the otherside of the train tracks from a balcony. I noticed they looked quite different dependng on whether...
Like Frances, Eryn and I have also been rewatching The West Wing. Periodically on the show there are these moments where politicians from both parties solemnly uphold democratic norms while treating each other with respect and wow, those...

Why read the book? John Milton wrote Paradise Lost in 1667. It is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. The poem tells how Satan and his fallen angels rebel against God and are cast out of Heaven. Satan then tempts Adam...
/tmp/plug-1695-VbZP/live_view_upload-1777383628-267747297191-1 I caved. I finally caved. After almost 10 years of using a (mostly) google-free phone, I decided to go back to having a fully goggled phone. The catalyst was the app of my...
Today I was working on a blog project collecting a bunch of post links to use in another project. When I need to visit a lot of posts on my blog, I do it through a localhost:8080 version of the site instead of the live one. I run an...
“The self, the place where we live, is a place of illusion. Goodness is connected with the attempt to see the unself… to pierce the veil of selfish consciousness and join the world as it really is.” To recognize that there are infinitely...
I miss email as a personal communication tool. Surely I still use it, but it is 20% paper trail for transactions, and 80% cold-messaging from companies I don't know—or plain old spam, if there's even a difference. A few years ago, when I...
