Wombat sent me the above picture: A physical ad by Apple on a big canvas. Pictured is a person hiding their face with their iPhone, but therefore actually pointing the camera at the people seeing the ad. It says: "Safari. A browser...
Sorry to interrupt your programme to share this excellent post by Jeff Johnson: The obligatory A.I. post. Not only do I basically agree with everything Johnson writes — I could quote every sentence and paragraph — but it’s very well...
Whenever someone tries to impress me with a job title I feel sorry for them. Like when a child tries to impress me by explaining that “Wolverine is cool.” Look, kid: I basically invented Wolverine. I’ve been thinking about Wolverine...

Books and some interesting stuff I read in July 2026 This month I read some though provoking books, a nice science fiction book, and had a lot of fun reading several essays and short stories. The authors of both the books "A Darwinian...
I have been functioning in survival mode for so long that I didn't even realize we were about to enter a new month. A new month where I'll be experiencing my first full month without Cocoa, somehow becoming another year older, and...
Before I zeroed in on education as the area I want to focus on, I’d spent years reading all I could about the climate crisis. This is a collection of links from that period that I still have, all in one place. I’m sharing them in case...
After last month’s not-so-great race at Coeur d’Alene, I was champing at the bit to come back to Ironman 70.3 Boise and try again. I had a great time last year—I got a PR in the 70.3 distance, and I love spending time in Boise. It’s a...
Codeberg, a Git code hosting platform, recently took a decision to prohibit projects that mostly consist of generative-AI-written code which has prompted concern and extensive discussion elsewhere. The decision does not surprise me, and...
Check out As in guillotine... for more. In which I briefly comment on the books I read each month, so a few years from now when I’m trying to remember one of them, I’ll be able to find it here. Since I’m a media omnivore, it also...

Okay, I want to call someone out. Their writing is impeccable, funny for a matter of fact. A-hole because it’s easy to be contrarian when you’re nobody online, hiding behind a mask. It’s the path of least resistance from how I see it. I...

My words flow from the blank, full, blue sky that rests above – a sky in which the more I look, the more texture I see; there are ripples and layers and colours; the periphery of individual clouds emerge. The more I look, the more I see....
I thought the beginning of this post’s title might catch your eye as it doesn’t sound like what usually appears on my blog! 🤣 But actually it’s a troubleshooting log with Hugo, Indiekit, and being a total noob with Node.js. How Hugo...
At the beginning of July, my daughter tripped while playing basketball. It seemed like a simple sprain, but it turned out to be a hairline fracture of the fifth metatarsal. Brace and rest. Two weeks later, we were supposed to leave for...

Mind uncluttered 02 Aug, 2026 Over the past ten years, I've become pretty organized when it comes to managing appointments. So I thought I'd share the simple scheduling setup I use. First things first: I don’t trust my memory. I don't...
This book is a portal fantasy, a coming-of-age story, and a travelogue all in one! There's a strong romance subplot, but I wouldn't call it a romantasy as it's not the primary focus of the book. Sadie Sheldon is a young woman in early...
