Just as I was heading home I found this young ball of fluff happily sleeping on a branch out in the open, seemingly without a care in the world. It was content to sit here for a good five minutes or so before it was inevitably disturbed...
Dear reader,Leaving WhatsApp has been the most demanding privacy-related change I have ever made. It took years of preparation: moving conversations to Signal, and waiting until I graduated from university, so I didn’t have to bother...
Flying over the intersection of 10 and 105 Freeways in Los Angeles. フリーウェイ・エアリアル ロサンゼルスの10号線と105号線のインターチェンジ上空を飛行している。
It watches over me, constantly. I feel it judging me, intrusively. From above, assuming. Taunting me, regularly. Overseeing me, intentionally. With regularity, pulsing. The desire to touch it, possibly. Press the red button, boldly. For...

We are attempting to lure pollinators to our balcony (yes, so that I can photograph them...) and as part of this scheme, we built a "bee bath" out of a plant pot saucer . Note the dirty Squirtle and Minecraft figurines. You may recall...
I know so many things are bad in society right now. Aside from global warming, we are collectively better off than any human generation in modern history. I have no intention of dismissing the bigotry today. Racist gerrymandering is...
Aunque a los dos años de ese fatídico momento ya me había dado cuenta de la metida de pata, aquí sigo. También es cierto que en Londres las cosas han cambiado a peor y no he sido el único que ha acabado saliendo de allí. De todas...
It is there like a constant whisper, like a ceaseless gust of thought rustling through the canopy of the collective mind: the haunting sense that ours is a particularly difficult time to be alive, that reality today is particularly hard...
Enquanto eu pensava no que poderia ser o quinto post aqui da semana e vendo alguns vlogs de pessoas que eu gosto que moram pelo mundo eu notei que nem todo dia precisa existir uma aventura absurda. Muitas vezes o nosso dia-a-dia é apenas...
Dependiendo de cual es tu entorno en el que navegas, es posible que te hayas encontrado con bots en un contexto malicioso, beneficioso o neutral. Hoy quiero hablarte de los que mas me gustan, los que hasta una mayor investigación...
I met Jason in Merida Mexico in 2021. He was staying at the same Airbnb as I. This strange place where a cast of characters fleeing some things and arriving for others landed. He escaped for a vacation from years driving big rig trucks....
June 5, 2026 I found it interesting to come across two posts in my RSS feed about aging and eye problems the other day. Robert Breen Eleven years ago, just after my fiftieth birthday, I started having trouble reading late in the day....
My favourite thing about owning a 3D printer is the very specific tools which I would never pay for. Take a guess what this is for: It is a key for popping out portafilters from the group head on my espresso machine Oridinarily I can do...
I have a cold. I haven't had a cold in 6 months. I've been using my brain almost nonstop. Today I feel so bored because all I want to do is lay on the couch and watch mind-numbing TV... but at the same time... I am bored... I want to use...
When we moved to our new place not far from CNL, I hoped that I'd have occasional opportunities to photograph smaller private airplanes. What I didn't expect at all was to encounter military airlifters at our humble airport. Which...

I recently completed my first long trail race, set in the Southern Drakensberg mountains with Emma, my siblings and their partners. It spanned 2 days with 30km on the first, and 15km on the second, winding through valleys and around...
Just been looking at my #photos on my phone, various serial numbers, instructions, pics of car parts and weird dark pictures trying to see down the back of cabinets. Also pics of family and holidays

If I didn't go to college and major in something "important" (whatever that means), I would be a train or subway conductor. I don't know why, but I always imagined it would be interesting. I'm sure it's just like any other job, but every...
The masked shaman may live on, even if his fighting game series doesn’t.
It’s a lovely day to upgrade my system: % brew upgrade [...] Homebrew will ignore formulae, casks and commands from these taps when `HOMEBREW_REQUIRE_TAP_TRUST` is set. This will become the default in Homebrew 6.0.0 or 5.2.0, whichever...
I see that the supermarket chain Sainsbury's is doing its bit to cut 'emissions' by removing brown eggs from its shelves in favour of white ones, which, according to its research, have a 12.7 percent lower 'carbon footprint' than their...

Following on from the enigmatic "Tape 05" earlier this year, Scottish electronica legends, Boards of Canada, have dropped a whole new album, "Inferno", which is –in a word– "lush". Sticking to their classic formula of chopped up spoken...

Our youngest is spending the night at her friends tonight so my wife and I will have the house to ourselves. I’m looking forward to the quiet time.
It’s been 13 years, 2 months and 12 days since I joined Cloud Four. But today’s my last as its Creative Director and a full-time team member: I’ve decided it’s time for something new. Words can’t adequately express how grateful I am to...
I’ve been playing with a few toys. IndexedDB notes… let’s start there. Ooh, I’ve just spotted something undesirable as I type this out! I wrote the first sentence, pressed ‘Save Note’ and then wrote the second sentence. After that, I...
Limbo is a puzzle platformer with a dark aesthetic (spoilers below). It has a monochromatic colour palette while the entire screen is rendered through a grainy film filter. You assume the role of what appears to be a boy: its silhouette...
Me acompañaron durante mi vida: en la infancia y durante mi adolescencia hasta convertirme en un adulto. Me apoyé en ellos, me hacían sentir parte de algo, me dieron alegrías. Gracias a ellos tuve anécdotas y hermosos momentos que...

Today I'm introducing a new project called Daily Designer with daily quotes from designers I admire.
It’s been a good week in general. The work schedule is back under control. I am getting back to normalcy there. I also played after a long time on Sunday. We played singles again. It was tough but fun. It tests one’s stamina and...
Every year, for me this day (June 5th) is one of the most emotionally difficult days of the year; it’s my man Jacques Transue’s death day, in the bright early summer of what unfolded as the disastrous year 2003. Jacques died, after all...
C. asked if I wanted to go for lunch this Sunday. My immediate reaction was to say no, to find an excuse to bow out. Not because I don’t want to see her (I miss her dearly), but because I’ve somehow become afraid of stepping away to have...
If you thought “oh cool!” as soon as you read the words “Ethan Marcotte” above, then you and I understand each other. Ethan is a widely-cited author, designer, activist, runner, cat person, and one of the nicest men to have ever called...
A short essay on a single idea about how to tell the real from the relative There is a move so simple it sounds almost like nothing: hold everything fixed but one thing, change that one thing, and watch what happens. What stays the same...
I was wondering while looking at the birds yesterday that, like how people do bird-watching, there could be birds that do "human-watching"? We are everywhere, there is variety of people and variety of activities on the street. We...
May 2026. Elsecar. Barnsley. There’s a lot more to Elsecar than an industrial heritage site, a chippy and a classic pub. “The village now attracts over 500,000 visitors each year, to its heritage centre, historic sites and award-winning...
Bosnia and Herzegovina qualified for the World Cup, their first since Brazil in 2014. Penalties, heart attacks, veteran Edin Džeko (a month younger than me) leading a squad of kids I've never heard of. Italy probably walked in cocky and...
I started working on the class Universe of GravityLoops, my gravity simulator in Interlisp and LOOPS. I defined the class itself and the main methods, Universe.Register and Universe.Simulate. The class represents a collection of bodies...

Why read the book? Homer wrote The Odyssey around 800 BC. It is the second great epic poem from ancient Greece and the direct sequel to The Iliad. The story follows Odysseus, king of Ithaca, as he tries to return home after the Trojan...
What a winter it has been. Not only have we had a particularly snowy season so far (often on Mondays) but I have also been horrified watching the United States further descend towards a totalitarian and, in many ways, fascist regime....
I recently finally returned to Poland, after ~living in Taiwan for 7 months, where I was … bike riding, learning Chinese, and getting some experience in certain things that I never thought I’d do in my life. Upon my return, I decided...
