I’ve got a lot going on at the moment which means I’ve not been posting here. Big whoop, right. Yeah, work is busy. At home we are in the last week of Jack attending nursery (his last day tomorrow!) and we are spending next week in...
Iba al minigolf cuando las cosas se ponían feas, cada casita o figura plasticosa que le daba personalidad a los hoyos, él los adoraba como si fueran dioses y su forma de rezarles era practicar una y otra vez, recoger las pelotas que se...
A follow up to today’s earlier posting “turning point”; again, a lightly edited version of e-mail to family and caregivers. As an addendum, a note on yesterday and last night. Yesterday went from 3:05 am through 6:30 pm, and I was busy...
Review.
Lo Blackwell is an aspiring travel journalist who gets the gig of her career; the maiden voyage of an intimate luxury nordic cruise liner, and witnesses a murder — or did she? Our erstwhile heroine is a borderline alcoholic with a head...
Every tech company is different, every tech company is the same. Welcome to the suck. Yeah no. I'm out. Of course it's generative AI. Not the tech. The social phenomenon and the mass hysteria of the managerial class. They jumped at the...
Items of interest elsewhere… “Du Bois is read as the Black Hegel, and Fanon as a Black Sartre… [but] turning non-Western thinkers into tame versions of ourselves is a kind of intellectual colonialism that we need to get beyond” — Takeshi...
Heya! So, it's been a while. I think I've only made like, one other post this entire month? Which, is kind of a glacial pace. Mostly, it's just because I've been rather busy with a ton of life stuff™. I did find some time to do various...

Words have always had a way with me. They find me if and when it suits their fancy. If they do find me, they usually find me between thirty minutes and thirty days after they would have been just perfect to tell someone... (This post...

Esse é o primeiro grupo que eu venho fazer review que eu tenho acompanhado desde o começo, que é só uns meses atrás, e a primeira vista não dá pra não fazer comparações com Keyakizaka46. O primeiro uniforme, MV e tudo mais lembra muito o...
I saw Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie two nights ago, and it blew my mind. It reminded me of the first time I saw The Science of Sleep by Michel Gondry. Back then, my mind was just, "You can do that in a movie?" This time, though, I...

Stake-outs are the worst part of my job. I’m too easily distracted. If I do a crossword puzzle or text on my phone while sitting in the car, there’s a good chance a cheating husband walks right by me, grinning and tucking in his...
This is just a quick post and an update on my previous one to tell you that Dunwich Heath has been on fire since yesterday afternoon. Many people have been evacuated and the fire service still have no idea when they will be able to get...
Heute wird es, wenn nicht komplex, doch ziemlich abstrakt. Trotzdem sind alle Angaben ohne Gewähr. [25/1000] Habe am Dienstag beschlossen, dass ich mal über Komplexität schreiben sollte, und gestern dachte ich, dass diese Übung hier ganz...

Depending on which social bubble one is into, people are drawn to letting LLMs do everything. Latest tools promise to fully configure or even manage entire server setups. While that sounds amazing (and I want to try it out some time)...

Last year I talked about my faithful Logitech C930e webcam, and at the end of the article I mentioned that I have to manually disable the autofocus, and that sadly that setting is gone at every reboot, and even every time I unplug the...

So the title of my last post was originally “Online Friends vs Raising Satan In Your Basement,” which I reposted with a new title: “Online Friends vs Summoning Goats In Your Basement.” Why the retitle, you may wonder? Well, that post...
