🎵 Listening to Diagnosis by Noa Bar. Been really enjoying Noa Bar’s music after hearing the song Diagnosis on NPR. The vocals are funky and the strong bass gets me.
It’s a great topic. AI. Easy to dismiss. Easy to praise. But it isn’t everything. Not everything needs to be in comparison with it. Not every thought shared needs to take a stand for, or against, it. Not every article has to include a...
The Sekulby have come. Stories of their culture have been faint echoes within Bennu since my arrival. The massive agglomerative ship is like a planet closing in on the station, or more accurately, like the station is being sucked into...
To get promoted as a software engineer in Big Tech, you generally need to show “ownership” of a product or area. This means being responsible for it and deciding what should happen over time. I often hear more junior engineers ask: “How...
Another update to Rogallo, another new protocol! The main change in v1.9.0 is the addition of support for the Nex protocol. As with any other supported protocol, entering a nex:// URI into the command line will cause Rogallo to load up...

This is an excerpt from my journal. I have made a few friends online through my activities. Generally, I care about deep connections: to talk about life and expand on shared experiences. I usually do more of the listening, because that...

My beast of a sweet potato. It was sprouting, so I shoved it into the ground. We're both happy with this arrangement. Excuse the weeds - a skunk has been coming in & out of the backyard and I've been too scared to get rid of them. More...
It seems like I’ve earned a reputation at work for hating Excel. We recently had a workshop with different statations and flipboards about how to improve some processes etc. And well – I added a lot of “less spreadsheets” sticky notes....
Muista, että kokiessasi mitään muuta kuin kaiken sisällään pitävää, kaiken läpi uuttuvaa pyyteetöntä Rakkautta harhailet.
We went to Boston the first week of August. The planning for this was unique as the first step was securing tickets to watch these young men perform in one of three cities. See, the closest city to us in which they are performing is...
Sitting atop a Spanish mesa one sweltering August night, watching the Perseid meteor showers streak the sky with the debris of a comet burning through the atmosphere against the backdrop of a billion dead stars whose signal light is only...
I was out on a walk yesterday, listening to the ’70s Hits Radio Station on Apple Music, when “Don’t Leave Me This Way” came on. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to look at a text while the song was playing and was surprised at what the...
Bought 2 pins to add to my collection today. Sometimes you just see pins at a store and they immediately call to you. These pins did exactly that. I thought they were very appropriate for how I've been feeling lately. Reply by email
My review of “Guardians of the Galaxy”.
Thank you @zyd for the request, and IndieWebClub Bangalore for the prompt that sort-of points to it. You probably don’t need coffee explained to you. It’s the most popular drug delivery mechanism in the world, and could be considered the...
Our last day included a baseball game, a wander through Coney Island, cake and a parting gift-bag.Reply via email
I drew the cartoon above from a photograph that turned twenty years old last month. That’s Erika on the left, and next to Erika is Stephen’s bride Erin, and then I’m on the right, and next to me is Stephen himself, surprising me with a...
Two years, two years...I can't believe it's been two years since I started this blog and that I've wrote over 300 posts, those are a lot of words. I often read my old ones, it's weird to see how my writing (and life) have changed. I...
In a few days we will get out of here for a week. This time we do multiple Cambodia places just because. First up is a few days in Phnom Penh. No big tourist reasons to go. We have gone a few times or more. Since my wife is Cambodian...
Several months ago, a good friend of mine, who knows I’m into birdwatching, suggested I watch a YouTube documentary called LISTERS: A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching. Little did I know at the time that it would consume much of my free...
An excerpt of the "Liber Pontificalis" for Gregory II about iconoclasm in Byzantine Italy in 726.
I spotted this quote by Shirley Hibberd on the side of an enormous glass case, just outside the departures gate at SFO: Let us not despise the day of small things. A windowsill garden is better than no garden, and the dark area where...
For the first time in a very long time I decided to take my morning coffee to the backyard, and since the 200-800mm was still on my camera I took that out too. There were a couple of small birds flitting around, I have a lot of yellow...
Dear Creative Soul,This has been floating in my mind for a very long time (inspired by something someone else said, I think?)Those who can create art, create art, those who don’t create art, try to put it into convenient boxes.I think...
It’s been a long time since we’ve taken a road trip, and even longer since we’ve been able to spend the night away from home (you try doing that with a dog, two cats, and fifteen chickens). We figured some day we’d be able to do it...

Last night's Gardeners' World included a report from Farringford, Tennyson's estate on the Isle of Wight, where the garden, which had been entirely lost, has been restored to something very like its original appearance – much like an...
I feel bad that I have not heard about The Odyssey earlier but thanks to Nolan as he made a movie about it. The storyline is taken from a famous ancient Greek epic composed by Homer about a man Odysseus who was forced to go on a war,...

I've always felt the need to share links that I find interesting. I think it helps like-minded people find their tribe. I'm unsure if my efforts have helped much, yet I persist. A few days ago I got an email from Antonio Santos asking...
Eu me perguntava se elas conseguiriam fazer um álbum mais divertido que o Delulu Pack mas pra surpresa de ninguém esse EP novo delas é sensacional. A vibe de verão é maravilhosa e tem músicas aqui que já tão no repeat a tempo mas todas...
It’s been exactly three years since I published my article about the Sony PS Vita so what better thing to do is than pick it out from the drawer where it’s been sitting for a while, play some games on it, see how relevant and usable it’s...
This one should be more fun than yesterday's Blaugust post You know those moments where you're going about your day, brushing a cat and they're like, leaning into it and purring and then suddenly you're hit with an intrusive thought...

I am currently rebuilding a Fuji S10-S, a road bike from the 1970s. This bike belonged to my dad and is in very good condition. I watched it get rebuilt a couple different times over the course of my childhood, but have never ridden it....
Played a gig with my band tonight. A gentleman came up and said he knew my father when they were young - teenage and early adulthood. Said he thinks my dad would have loved this and been very proud of me. Had to hide my tears. I miss him...

Came across Trevor’s post about link rot last week. The topic of fixing broken links on our websites is pops up occasionally at Homebrew Website Club meetings. I never really investigated how I could check every link efficiently on my...
It’s common for a table design to feature alternating row colors, which is pretty trivial to accomplish with CSS. But then if you need to hide some rows later, the striped background gets all messed up. Or at least it used to. It turns...
Say you’re writing a Windows IPC library for Rust, and you want to pass a handle to a child process. Maybe it’s a pipe, maybe it’s a file, maybe it’s a broker process handle. It turns out that there’s no correct way to do so due to...
That morning had started with the ritual of opening the bedroom window, which failed - sealed shut with shutters.I barely managed to nudge it a few centimeters without tearing the curtain -distractedly searching for truth in the fiction....
