Discovered a frustrating macOS 26.5.1 in iMessages. While I can send and receive SMS and RCS messages to Android users on my iPhone, I can only receive them on a Mac or iPad. I’m not alone in this as I’ve seen several reports. Most point...
My colleague Richard Rothaus and I have been including the Hadji Mustafa fountain on our afternoon walks around the village of Corinth. In fact, we visit it so often that we’ve become friendly with the local working dogs (but not too...
Walking into a school cafeteria in the 1970s meant more than just finding a seat. The moment you set your lunchbox down on that long, noisy table, every kid around you took notice. Before you even opened it, a silent verdict had already...
Thanks to Steve Baron for alerting me to a Facebook post from yesterday that brought to light a car I wasn't aware existed. Austin Street Railway 63 is the last surviving (as far as I know!) car from that city's system. It's always fun...
Here is some child-rearing equipment that we only began using the fourth time around: Glass bottles, like Philips Avent. We used Playtex disposable liners before and now regret it: what we got in convenience was not worth the cost in...
Die Lesende – Lovis Corinth I am nothing if not suggestible. Earlier this week Simon shared his Century of Brilliant Books in which he recommends a book for every year of the 20th Century. Having done a Century of Books alongside Simon...
Tennis Pro Interaction – Flushing, New York How close can you get to the tennis action? Here’s an example: I found a good position along the side of the court. Although the distance is a bit deceptive because I shot this at a 75mm...
This new Demerara rum expression from El Dorado follows a previous “high ester” release a couple years ago that paired Diamond Distillery’s intense Diamond High Ester (DHE) marque with a rare LBI marque. This time they’re pairing DHE...
I have gone my whole life until now not knowing that Game Theory, my oldest friend Stephanie Burt’s favorite rock band, covered the greatest TV special score of all time, Vince Guaraldi’s Linus and Lucy. (If you think you don’t know this...
nsfw post warning but this is mostly horny in a silly way I made a custom label for my pill bottle cause I have that thermal printer. I didn't measure anything out, but it fit the bottle absolutely perfectly
Nau maiYesterday we played at the Fillmore in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighbourhood. Liz was searching for fish all day and finally found one in the evening. Late in the morning we left our hotel in King of Prussia, boarding the Ghost...
Today I was setting up Hermes to see how it does with web research. I chose DeepSeek V4 because I know it is cheap, but seeing it’s pricing next to Anthropic and OpenAI ‘frontier’ models is crazy. Nearly a 50x price increase based on...
I was reading an article this evening and saw a footnote to a book by Arthur Baragar [1]. This caught my eye because he was my officemate at UT for a year. I found his book on Archive.org and was surprised to see “The Star Trek Lemma” in...
HA HA HA YES! Double Dragon undefeated. I’ll take almost any movie where everyone knows Kung Fu but how wonderful it is to get one that is so well made. This flick is not interested in character development because it sticks to its lane...
Heading home from Comedy Bang Bang live, and man what a great show. First time I got to see Eddie Patterson and Ego Nwodim live, and they were awesome.
