No introduction, no filler, just some facts. You can check some existing facts about me on this post from last year’s Blaugust and this other compilation. Even though I am Mexican, there’s a lot of Mexican food everyone seems to love,...
a half-assed review"> So yeah, AC: Mirage was pretty bad. So disappointing, in fact, that I decided to turn back to the older AC titles that I really played a lot, and I started with the first AC title I ever played, Syndicate. youtube •...
Tech bros across the world have been giving everyone a right ear-bashing in the last few years about their AI agents, and the need for data centres to power them. And they’ve been crying foul in response to the environmental concerns...
Thanks Joe for hosting HTML Day San Diego 2026. I had a great time exploring some CSS features I use less frequently while getting fresh air. Plus I met some great new people! It’s not much but I’ve published my HTML page with a few...
3rd August - 9th August #SilentSunday Car boot sales are so full of broken dreams; musical instruments, skateboards, home fitness equipment. They are also a monument to maturity; books read, films and games completed, toys and clothes...
I forget how I started making this for breakfast, but I first wrote about it all the way back in 2012. It's still pretty much the same recipe, but it has evolved a little. I prefer lots of veggies in my omelets, so that's how I do it....
Why I added a Markdown representation to the Kyoto Tech Meetup website, and where it fits alongside WebMCP and APIs.
We have a psycho kitty. He’s always been a psycho kitty. We thought he always would be a psycho kitty. Except. Since moving to the woods, he has mellowed considerably. He was never a mean cat, just prone to panic attacks and freaking out...

New York is a graveyard of former theater houses, and in recent years these vacant venues have been repurposed into retail shops, boutique hotels, a workout studio, and even a Starbucks. So why not a one-time dramatic stock and...
2026-08-09Hello! I must have underestimated the amount of photos from that photowalk in the woods. When I'm used to the grays and greens of a controlled living space, any bits of organic color from the wild pop out to me.I also must have...

Wasn’t at my computer much this week, but still ended up with a decent batch of links from social.omgmog.net, 3-9 August: some N64 homebrew, Quake’s 30th birthday, and a paper globe you can print and fold.
I watched this video that shows (and also explains) the universe from the Big Bang till now. The moment you see the human is the last thing, as a fraction of a second. That tells how insignificant we are in the universe. However, it's...
Nu înțeleg un lucru: la oameni le trebuie să locuiască la orașe, dar să trăiască ca la sate - cu tăiat de porc, cu ținut de animale și păsări, afumătoare pentru carne și ce se mai face la sate. Mulțumesc că urmărești ThinkRoot prin RSS....
My wife has insisted for some time that my hearing sucks. Meanwhile, I think she’s a bit of a low talker. I had my ears checked this week by an audiologist, and my hearing is “borderline” normal except for a particular band of...

I’m staying across from a theme park called “Baotou Paradise”. It features a massive ferris wheel that shows images and animations in the middle at night with it’s light show. It was up in a grand way with a castle themed plaza...
The art of tempering your fury with an infuriating existential truth. The vast majority of our mental, emotional, and spiritual suffering comes from the violent collision between our expectations and reality. As we dust ourselves off...
Many years ago I remember seeing an interview with Linus Torvalds, where he said “… and that change is to keep the weird folks, like the rubyists, happy”. I loved that. The rest of the software development world thinks we’re odd. And not...
Dear Dad, Hi. I miss you. It's been a few days. After you left, a storm warning came in and the sky went from blue to gray within 30 minutes. The heavy rain was pouring down hard. I didn't even notice the changes in the sky because I was...
There’ll probably never be another museum quite like the Apple Museum in Prague, which featured almost every Apple product ever made in pristine condition, before it closed in September 2020 after a dumbfounding dispute between its...

I mentioned in the first part of the Wild West plunder from last month's Plastic Warrior show plunder posts, that I'd got a post in Picasa's 'long queue' on the subject of the orange log-cabins. In fact, it was down in 1971 with the rest...
John Crowley has died, one of the finest and most distinctive American writers of our time and the author of Little, Big, the best fantasy novel this side of Tolkien. In fact, if I were not a Christian I would probably think that Little,...

This is something that I’ve been thinking about for awhile. How do you think of the Internet? Is it social for you? A source of information? A simple tool? A burden? A toxic place filled with assholes? All of the above? For me, I have a...

For the year of content creators 1996, I found 234 items. It’s actually one of the biggest amounts per year until the late 2000s. That’s gotta be due to the web, right?
August 2026. Skegness. Lincolnshire. We stayed at The Vine, as we did back in 1999 when our 6 month old cried through Roger Protz’s dinner in the oak panelled dining room. A week later we found out James had a hernia, bless him. I’m not...

Years ago, I started using Duolingo to learn French. I made it two or three years daily, until they completely changed the app and I left because I hated the changes. I downloaded it a couple months ago because I wanted to learn again,...
One can be smart and disabled, you know? I remember as a teenager during the peak of Obama II how the increasing rhetoric of "invisible disability" felt like such a grotesque cop-out. Funnily enough, I used to think depression wasn't...
Here is a little August nocturne by Thomas Hardy, a man who has been strangely present to me since my recent reading of Max Gate (in which he is, for the most part, strangely absent). Hardy's nocturnal visitors are a daddy-longlegs or...
I started something on an impulse. I realised after a while that while it might be a great idea, it would be an even better idea as part of something already existing. Now I’m ignoring it altogether and for some reason started Captain of...
