For the heck of it, I decided to whip together a submission for the Killer Shorts one-page horror script competition. Since the actual text might not see the light of day unless it's a finalist or winning entry, I wanted to archive it here for anybody who might like to read it. Presenting, for your enjoyment......
I was at a party on Saturday night when someone came in and said that a van had driven into the Berlin Christopher Street Day parade, killed one person, injuring more. I’ve never been to CSD; go, instead, to the Internationalist Queer Pride demo that, since 2021, has been organised in contradistinction to the...
To Matt's question my only answer is "yes". Apple is all the company types he suggests but it's leaning heavily towards rent seeking while bringing very little to the table. I'm annoyed every month when I pay my Apple One family bundle. I'd cancel it for myself, but my wife and kids use Apple Music so I'm stuck...
From The Traveler: One Man’s Quest for Humanity from the South Seas to Revolutionary Paris, by Andrea Wulf (Knopf, 2026), Kindle pp. 229-231: By the end of 1776, less than four months after he had written the first word, the manuscript of A Voyage Round the World arrived at the printer.

(You can tell yourself that if you try to placate the haters, you’ll just ruin things for people who like you. But how do you feel...
About 18-months ago I made a commitment to myself to spend more time listening to full albums — both new, and old. The nature of BlackPlastic.co.uk is that I naturally spend a lot of time listening to singles. If I’m not careful, this can lead to me missing out on the widescreen scope of a great album, and so I made...
Who is this article for? This post is for people that do day-by-day busywork coding, and for team leads that want to direct their peers towards better logging practices. Note that this article comes from my regular need to present these exact points to different people, multiple times a year, in multiple teams, in...
“Westward” by Jason Heppler, westward.jasonheppler.org. “An endless scroll through the American West in public-domain photographs from open cultural-heritage collections.”
The rest of my 2026 Mysterium report. (See part 1 for the Cyan news.) All the videos are currently available on Mysterium's Twitch channel. They will be archived on their Youtube channel pretty soon. Documentary Update Philip Shane gave his usual progress report on the Myst documentary. It moves forward. We have...
