I’ve written previously about subdermal implants. As a result, I receive the occasional concerning message from people thinking they’re being tracked or the likes. Small, discreet, implantable chips do not exist. Important I fear writing...

Sixty percent of Australian parents reported experiencing psychological distress, according to the results of the Parenting Today survey, conducted late last year by the Parenting Research Centre. It has been suggested the impact on the...
I wrote earlier about reworking my blog so that I manage it remotely over SSH. Here’s an update on that. TLDR: success! Connecting I use Zed’s Remote Development to edit my blog content and run git commands over SSH. It works really...
Let’s talk about Rolling Thunder. No, not the movie. Not the Bob Dylan tour thing either. And not the roller coaster or the Vietnam bombing campaign. Rolling Thunder the 1986 video game by NAMCO! (The first one, not the sequels.) I went...
Now that we're near the end of the free or cheap GitHub Copilot party, I thought it might be interesting to look at how much BlogMore has "cost" me to build, and what it would have cost under the proposed new pricing structure that is...
Back in 2019, before the world ended, I was trying to learn JavaScript. Serious JavaScript, not just hiding and showing things like I'd always done for microinteractions in websites. As one of my exercises, I published an app to collect...
导出 Elfeed 选中条目到 GitHub Page 作为 Reading List 我之前一直用 elfeed 阅读订阅流，我挺满意 elfeed 的功能的，唯一的不足是手机上用不了 (懒得折腾将 Emacs 运行在 iPhone 上)。后来我安装 NetNewsWire 用一段时间，NetNewsWire 用着不错，但也存在一些问题： 我的订阅流是用一个 elfeed.org 文件维护的，纯文本编辑非常方便，比各种 UI...

Just in: GEB by HofstadterHeard about this on YouTube. And as your typical polymath I got it from my library. Hopefully I finish intro tonight and we'll see where this takes me. #books #polymath #learning #readingThank you for following...

Springtime in full bloom. This week felt tough. I ended up in the office four days in a row. The end of each day arrived too quickly as I still had plenty of things left to tackle. It was great to get to Friday when I could get some...
I write about my experience learning braille and using automatic transcription software and file comparison software to practice transcribing braille.
Looks like I'm not done quite yet. In the spirit of better link organization, I brought a page out of the interactive directory and into the main body of bookmarks, which for the first time is no longer a flat list of pages. Guess that...
“Let us love this distance which is wholly woven of friendship, for those who do not love each other are not separated,” Simone Weil wrote in her soulful meditation on the paradox of closeness and separation. To be separated from a loved...
With my latest book, Move Slowly and Build Bridge, complete, Goal 2 of this blog is completed, as well. Goal 2 was a big reason I started this blog. I wanted to write a book about FOSS in an open way, and I think I achieved that with my...
Hello. Been a while. I'm sitting here on the mezzanine of my office building, watching the sun rise, waiting until I need to head up to work and clock in. I should be doing a lab for the Networks class, but I really don't want to. I'll...
I read a blog post recently saying that it was ok to hate AI. While I agree to some extent, I think it was missing some key points about how to hate AI. It’s easy to just hate something you don’t like. We as humans have a natural...
May 22, 2026 I've made the decision to delete any personal online presence outside of this blog. My Mastodon & Strava accounts are gone, Tildes.net account is in process, public YouTube videos are permanently deleted. I unfortunately...
We are here for three days total. Today I will have one of two full days to go as I please here. The morning started early but sleep was good. Now it’s the wonder and sometimes bane of journaling. The morning writing. That’s when all the...
I love time loops in media—from Groundhog Day to Haruhi's Endless Eight. What do they reveal about mortality, memory, and the human desire to escape consequence through Nietzsche's eternal recurrence?
It was the oddest job interview I’d ever experienced. First of all, we arrived at the lobby as one big group, brought in on bespoke company transport—black vehicles with tinted windows. It rained on the way over, so everyone was wet,...

The crucial moment of today’s (5/21) Zippy strip, in which Griffy addresses a Muffler Man, offering the fiberglass giant a phallic offering to his superior masculinity. It’s hard to know where to start with this — and then it turns out...

In Paul Krugman’s post today, he includes two charts. One is fine, the other isn’t. Here’s the first one: Generally, I’m not a fan of putting stuff in the margins that could be within the body of the plot itself, but at least it’s clear...
I am feeling so sick of the internet. I feel like's it's just a net negative in every way. It makes me see the world as a horrible place. I'm gonna try to stay off as much as I can. Working on strategies to do this effectively. I've used...
I’ve been slowly listening to Poor Charlie’s Almanack: The Essential Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger. I like his practicality. He’s never trying to be overly academic, as if he needs to prove how smart he is. He says Berkshire’s...
Really short and spooky one this time. I was roaming about lowsec in my lil Hookbill as usual, and found a Firetail in a complex. So I warped in. They neutralized my capacitor completely (in short: i ran out of energy) so I was having...
Let me tell you the story of what was sounding in Buenos Aires’ FM radios almost exactly 40 years ago. “Oktubre”, by “Patricio Rey y los Redonditos de Ricota” released in its entirety in October 1986, is widely considered to be one of...
At first I thought of writing one small fact about iridescent clouds, but while reading the Wikipedia of clouds I got into a rabbit hole of random but very interesting facts. I've always liked clouds, but never looked into information...
Three pictures this time. Feels strange to pose like this, but it is nice to not be serious!
Yesterday was World Bee Day (not to be confused with World Bidet) – and, by chance, I had in my change a £1 coin I'd never seen before, with the face of our King on one side and on the other an attractive design featuring... two bees....

I don’t like to think of myself as someone with “brand loyalty”, but it’s undeniable that I have preferences for the tools I use hardware and software-wise. When it comes to brands for any product, I like to think that I do my research...

When we went to see the Mandalorian and Grogu last Wednesday, we drove back home along a dyke between the IJsselmeer on one side and a large nature reserve on the other. The light was spectacular, scattered clouds with bright sunlight...
Today I spotted a Spotted Flycatcher. I had no idea what this species was when I see it, or that I managed to capture it in such a good position. I wish I was a little closer (or had a little more telephoto reach preferably) as the image...

Em junho passado, a prefeitura de Ribeirão Preto lançou o aplicativo “Cuidar+On” pra substituir o antigo Saúde24h. Não havia utilizado o antigo, mas minha namorada tentou o Cuidar+On por três vezes e não obteve êxito. Ela marcou com...
De zorgen over digitale autonomie nemen toe, en steeds vaker krijg ik van (grote) organisaties de vraag: wat kunnen we NU doen? Nou heb ik wel een lijstje, maar voor we beginnen, besef dat we 15 jaar lang alles naar Amerika hebben...
Agentic AI is not scary because it can write a better paragraph than a chatbot from two years ago. It is scary because it can read, decide, click, call tools, remember context, and take action inside systems we already struggle to...
Dear Ciara, I am allergic to the cold. It is something that people struggle to understand, especially people I meet who are from or live in colder climates. "How could you possibly be allergic to the cold?" It isn’t a known allergen in...

I can’t even bring myself to capitalise companies, or tech, I despise. And this horseshit of a company has gone down the shit-hole in a big way. Yes, I’m talking about the crap they were talking at their i/o conference. I won’t go into...
