Gordon’s note caught my attention, then I disagreed with most of his points. Here are my thoughts on his five minor peeves with “many websites.” Comments are good, add them. Yes, I know it opens up things like spam but if you are posting...
Reflections on the week I managed to keep to my planned sleep schedule over the week, and my levels of mental energy increased noticeably. I’m naturally waking up earlier, which is a bit annoying – I’d rather get more sleep instead – but...
I can stare out this window for hours. I'm not even looking at anything. The stars and occasional propulsion jet are the perfect backdrop for thinking and the occasional good idea. I'm supposed to be working, but when the big ships dock,...
It was a great day for hanging out with friends and their apartment building’s rooftop grill, followed by episodes of Nathan For You and I Love LA, and a particularly competitive foosball game.On the walk to a tapas restaurant for dinner...

Well, I wasn't expecting to release a new version of BlogMore quite so soon, given I made a release earlier today. But an issue came in that the Bluesky icon wasn't showing in the socials section on someone's blog, despite the fact that...
It’s been an interesting set of days. They does not make them good. Or even worthy of repetition. Now I find myself at this favorite little coffee shop on a Monday. Fresh from a short walk and wanting a longer. The feeling and freedom of...
In her love letter to creative spaces, Britt appreciates “anywhere that is welcoming to the big table full of slightly chaotic artists who might make a mess of their carpet from time to time.” Reading through the article brought to mind...
I have a terrible admission to make and you may never forgive me. It’s taken far too long, so please don’t be mean about this. Look, I’m already on my knees apologizing and you don’t have to make this weird, okay? But this weekend I...

So I've said this before, but my intention has always been to take a break from the Mia Graves books once I finished book five. And, well, with the fifth book, The Perfect Host coming out in August (pre-order it!) that means I need to...
I setup a Patreon a few days ago to support other creators and to maybe monetise a few of my own posts and videos. But with the endless fucking notifications they send for EVERY-FUCKING-THING pissed me off to the point of just not...
May 2026. Medias. Transylvania. Our 7 night, 5 city trip round the heart of Romania had taken in a few of the less obvious stops, a bit like adding nights in Mansfield and Rotherham to your big Yorkshire tour. “Most people who visit...

I've finally added back skincare to my morning routine. A good facial cleanser and SPF moisturizer really does go a long way, man. My forehead feels as smooth as my brain, lemme tell ya. I have some stupid errands to run today, and...
And just like that, another month has flown by. Time for my usual look back. The month started with my longest single-day bike tour ever: 136 km from Braunschweig to Gifhorn, Celle, and back. It was pretty exhausting, but that didn’t...
Run git log --graph on most team projects and you’ll see the problem. Parallel lines everywhere, merge commits that just say “Merge branch ‘feature/x’ into develop”. None of it useful. It’s noise. I’ve been using a rebase-based workflow...
Ann Street is one of New York’s oldest streets. On a recent Saturday, this three-block stretch of the Financial District resembled a slender ghost town of turn of the century commercial buildings. But look up on the western wall of 42...

Swimming As I promised myself, I started swimming this month. I still need to put in a lot of work, but I’m hopeful that I can make some reasonably improvements — both to my swimming form, and to my fitness in general. I’ve started...
Can you believe it’s Sunday already? It’s still nice and sunny but the weather forecast (and a look outside) tells me that this is going to be over soon. There was a lot of family this week – it would have been my grandmother’s 100th...

June 1, 2026 I started cycling about 3 years ago. We were eating at a Pho restaurant and decided to stop in to the bike shop next door. One thing led to another and I walked out with a Vaast A/1 gravel bike a few weeks later. I put over...
Back in the day, there were only hunters and gatherers, and I would certainly have been in the latter group. Collecting things is satisfying. This month, I’ll be collecting links to blog posts as part of Robert’s Junited 2026 campaign on...
