I believe that one should control one’s writing and photographs, and this site is my home on the web for those things. I frequently post them other places too, but they generally start here. Other platforms are ephemeral—as evidenced by the many broken links here to things I found interesting in the past, but which weren’t cared for by their publisher—so I try not to post elsewhere, except as a copy.

Ooh, iRacing for Vision Pro sounds pretty great, although I don’t have a wheel to try it out. Given how far I went with sim racing last time, maybe I shouldn’t be tempted again.Besides, sim racing, especially if you have a strong wheel...
I love this design study of a “developer terminal”, called the c100 by Caligra. I’m not sure I need literal tool storage in my portable/mini computer, but I like that they’re experimenting with the form of the computer.The keyboard has...
Speaking of Daredevil, don’t bother with the podcast that is advertised at the beginning of the season 2 episodes. I’ve found nothing insightful at all in them—they are nothing but the actors swooning over each other.
This interview with Charlie Cox is longer and is a more open and insightful conversation, compared to most of the press interviews I’ve seen with him. There was a particularly good section where he discussed Daredevil: Born Again Season...
I wasn’t able to watch the California gubernatorial candidates’ debate on CNN last night, and looked for it online this morning. I’m shocked to find that it’s not available anywhere that I can see. No outlet should be allowed to host it...
This 25th anniversary “oral history” of Moulin Rouge (★★★☆☆) had some fun tidbits. I’ve always had a soft spot for this movie, although most people I know really hate it. I like musicals, and this one is so fun and has such energy—it’s...
Oof, I almost never go on Nextdoor because the discussions there always seem to be dominated by the worst, most uninformed takes, and I just avoid the whole thing. But I just went there to read a post on a topic I care about, and...
I’ve been listening to the regular Apple-related podcasts, and man, am I tired of all of the talk about the Cook/Ternus transition, to the point where I’ve just been stopping episodes midway through. I mean, of course it’s important...
This is pretty cool.“The two Porsche 963 fielded by the Porsche Penske Motorsport works team feature a racing livery that pays homage to the iconic Apple Computer spectrum livery from the 1980 Porsche 935 that raced at Le Mans.”
This is one of the most irritating articles I’ve read in a long time, despite my interest in the topic. It didn’t need to be ~3,500 words (mostly “me” and “I”, or so it seemed). Skip to ”The beginning and the end” and read from there.
This article is focused on the valuation of the company, which is certainly is one potential cause of the main worry I’d have about one of these bikes:ALSO highlights a number of connectivity and security features as part of its...
I’m apparently too old for Pop Culture Jeopardy!, because I was absolutely terrible at it the first time around. But I’m generally happy to see Jeopardy! trying new things. While I haven’t yet canceled Netflix, I’m still headed that way,...
This laptop looks great. I love that they have the audacious goal of making something as good (or better than) as the MacBook Pro. The external GPU sounds interesting as well.I bought the Framework Desktop last year, and was...
NASA released a gallery of “posters”, and there are some great ones in there. For instance:
