Spending the day up and down the M1 had exhausted me. I went back to my hotel and, after a shower, collapsed on the bed and napped. I'd wiped most of the red line away. The rest could wait for another time.Except...If I got up and went out, I could finish it off, and then the whole line was done in a single day....
'What Else Is On?' is a collection of things from elsewhere on the web that I want to share. Down to the wire with this one! It's been some kind of month over here! I've been getting a little busier with freelance, and finally getting some more interviews after a long period of silence, so I've been all over the...
How was the month? I'm FREE. FREE AS THE SECOND ICE CREAM IN A BUY ONE GET ONE DEAL. FREE AS A PIECE OF MINT CANDY IN A RESTARUANT. FREE AS THE FIRST CHECK-IN ITEM ON A FLIGHT — OR WAS THE PRICE MERELY INCLUDED IN THE TICKET? I SHALL OPEN MY ARMS AND BARE MY CHEST TO EMBRACE ALL THE MARVELS THIS WONDERFUL WORLD IS...
Yesterday Bug and I visited San Luis Obispo, California, one of the many places our family has lived over the years. It’s a beautiful little town on the Central Coast. It’s not what most people think of when they think of the California coastline. That’s usually reserved for Los Angeles, San Diego, and San...
Hi, folks… I’ll have the last article in the series on Maxis Software for you next week. Today, I’m happy to say that the new ebook, covering the historical year 1999, is available, and on a far more timely basis than the last one at that. My thanks go to Richard Lindner, for developing the scripts that produce it,...

It was not quite a computer, but was programmed by plugging wires into a plugboard. This machine read numbers from a punch card, performed up to 60 calculations on these...
It's the final day of July, and I'm in a contemplative mood. Tomorrow begins Blaugust 2026, a fun event where bloggers are challenged to write 31 blog posts in 31 days. Will I participate? Well, every month has been Blaugust for me since November 2025, as I've written at least 23 posts every month since then....
The solution to what?The solution to the three-part problem that increasingly faces beekeepers wanting to minimise Varroa mite populations and reduce their winter colony losses.These are:Increasing resistance — and the geographic spread of this resistance — to the 'hard chemical' miticides like Apivar and Apistan...
KRAVEN THE HUNTER SPIDER-MAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES (TOY BIZ) I’ve been using this space here on Fridays to celebrate getting through the week a lot recently, and you know what, I’m really feeling that for this week in particular, because oh boy did it just keep going. But I’m here at the end of it, and you guys are...
I had two pieces up this month, one in New Scientist and one in Quanta. I figured I’d give a bit of ā€œbonus infoā€ for both here. The New Scientist piece covered a paper arguing that, according to the supernova evidence, there is no need for dark energy, because the universe isn’t speeding up after all. That’s a...
