Last October I posted a review of 11/22/63. In that post I wrote: This was 900 pages of wasted time. I enjoyed most of it. But the ending ruined every good feeling I had about this book. Why did I read it? Nothing changed at the end of...

Krakow has a pinball museum. I’ve been a few times. It’s a great place to go for an evening. I’m in Krakow for WordCamp Europe in a few weeks, and I’ve suggested this and Krakow’s parkrun as things I want to do whilst listening to talks...
When I was very young I, like many kids, thought subjects like history were dull and impenetrable. A series of meaningless dates and events to memorise for the sake of writing history reports. But by the time I was a young adult my...
I enjoy playing around with old computers and software from the 90s and early 2000s. My childhood computer was the Amiga 500 which I still have and which I love dearly, but the Windows 9x/XP era of computing is the most nostalgic for me...
I planned a bikepacking trip for the coming weekend, but I am not really sure if I overestimate my power, if I will eat enough, and if I will be able to put up the tent on my own. 😅 I watched so many YouTube videos on bikepacking in the...
