Hey man, remember when that 80s nostalgia-wave-core or whatever was really hot back in the 2010s? Like The Midnight, Timecop1983, and all that? Come on, you gotta remember those times, right? It was peak Trump I, now that I think about...
Three Questions for When Your Practice Is Stuck mtift Tue, 08/11/2026 - 07:42 Out on my bike last week, I realized I had forgotten to disable notifications on my phone, which I use as my bike computer. Part-way into my ride, someone...
Today I took my camera again and tried some other motives in nature. This swan was one of them. I activated RAW images and tried to do some lite editing, first with Darktable, but then I chose RawTherapee, as that tries to adjust the...
Spinning legs 12 Aug, 2026 I found myself getting lost in endurance sports. When I’m climbing a mountain with my bike, or with my skis, everything feels very peaceful. My mind gets lost in thoughts, projects, ideas, and memories. No...
Last night I strayed from my usual listening home on Radio 3 to my former home, Radio 4, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the current Book at Bedtime is Oliver Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield, one of those classics that these...
[I'm reading *Moby-Dick* at the moment](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/xavierroy_srividya-suryanarayanan-asked-if-we-can-do-share-7490785589437349888-Pdwq/), and I've been thinking about first lines. That's probably inevitable when...
Okay so I went on this rabbithole of anti-smartphone stuff online (don’t worry, my goody-two-shoes writing-things-down-on-paper self said that I could) and one thing that came up a few times was the whole “phones and social media are...

Privilege comes and privilege goes. I've had stretches in my life where I lived frugally out of necessity, not because I had a hidden virtue. Later in life, with debts paid off, we managed to save some dough for retirement. Well,...
The fog coming in to work this morning was heavy, which always surprises me, living here in Maine. I assume that it’s normal for this area, but it’s still always a bit of a shock to go outside and not be able to see more than twenty feet...

Throwback notes. This was previously published on the Libro FM blog. I've edited one word, and have chosen not to link to the audiobook I am mentioning because of what surfaced about this author in 2026. I’ll be the first to tell you...
Yesterday evening, while tinkering with Rogallo, I managed to nerd-snipe myself pretty well. I was playing around with the idea of better presentation of some forms of text/* content. While, of course, Rogallo handles text/gemtext just...

I was about to use the word ‘proscribed‘ in an email. Something made me pause to double check what it means. It turns out that it means literally the complete opposite of what I thought.
A few weeks ago I finished reading Leviathan Falls, the ninth and final book in The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey. I started the series all the way back in October 2024. Not long before that, in May, is when I got my first e-reader...
So, The Expanse is over, at last, and I will probably write a different post talking about the whole series and my thoughts overall. For now, these are only my thoughts on the last book, let’s get to them, after the summary! The Laconian...
Re:Paper is a pet project where I get to read interesting papers from the past and share my thoughts/impressions. It's not too dissimilar to book reviews, except for papers. Or paper-like things (a talk that gets published, an essay from...
He is obviously smart and articulate, and it serves him well given the “shit” being thrown at him. And here’s a good ad that’s running: I’m worried, to be sure, how anti-Muslim and anti-Arab prejudice will affect the vote, but he seems...
It's been a few months since I've started my new job. As I've mentioned on the /now page in the past, I've been working at a logistics warehouse, so I'm pretty much a cog in this country's supply chain. It's very physical, it's the...

I’m working from the beautiful Oregon coast for a few days this week. I set up a makeshift desk in front of three large-ish windows with a view of Neahkahnie Mountain. My image in video calls looks so much better here compared to my home...
I could have been born in Canada, but the family cleaved the space between wars. In the smelter’s shadow the grass bled arsenic the day great grandpa was born. The mines didn’t stop for VE day, but he did.He shot out of that shaft like...

Recently I noticed unusually high load on one of my servers. It turned out to be due to my somewhat new Forgejo service being absolutely hammered by bots. It wasn't a typical brute-force attack, but rather a massive, distributed crawl...

I saw Chris's post, The Grand Blog Reunification, where he explains that his cloud sync was silently failing and he wiped his computer without realizing he didn't have a backup. Oops. Not wanting to repeat that type of issue, I decided...
One thing I keep thinking about is making sense of the Internet. Everything is mingled and mixed. I'm okay with it being chaotic. I'm not okay with my corner of it contributing to this jungle. Although a little outside of the context Jim...
Earlier this summer, the administration of the University of Dundee announced a plan to cut costs by, among other things, no longer offering students the option of majoring in philosophy. See this previous post. A petition was launched...

August 2026. Bristol. My train to Bath left in 50 minutes time; Google reckoned 54 minutes walk from the Port of Call to Temple Meads, which gave little time for dawdling on the descent through Cotham Hill. And so, once more, I could...
Terry Godier has a post titled “Mea culpa” (which, given his framing, might’ve been better titled “Claude’s Culpa”). I’m not sure how much to even trust anything in his post given the backstory, but this line stood out: I was careless in...

You can tell when someone in a room is about to cry. Not from anything they’ve said. Something in the breathing, a stillness that arrived a beat too early, the angle at which they’re holding their face. You knew before you knew you knew....
My concept of technology is pretty wide range and also includes books and fountain pens, and I'm not being ironic. But it also includes Stoicism, the UN Charter on Human Rights, crop rotation, capitalism, meme generators, and “nonviolent...
