Why launch costs aren't the reason it costs a fortune to do things in space
When the Roman legions arrived at the Lima River, they were convinced it was the River Lethe - the River of forgetfulness, and refused to cross…
I’d like to start here (as opposed to somewhere else?) by putting something on the record. Or the cassette tape, or whatever. Travan tape? LTO? My esteemed BSD Now podcast co-host Tom says he has enough computers; sentiment to which I can relate. I have enough of these electronic contraptions to last me a lifetime of tinkering, upgrading, maintaining, maintaining, maintaining and did I mention…? Naturally then, I’d like to clarify that I have absolutely no need for...
Judges need accountability, judges need to be able to be fired when they behave illegally or unethically. Judge Ural Glanville at a minimum behaved in an unethical manner if not criminal manner by attempting to use prison time to force the attorney for the defendant to reveal attorney client privileged information. It shocks the conscience that this judge was not given prison time or at least fired from his job.… read more “Judge Orders Attorney’s Arrest but it IMMEDIATELY...
Some well modelled Dutch railways…. Urban trams…. HO, some of it modular on the grand scale…. And to close, how about these gigantic HO loop fiddle yards?
A continuously evolving list of observations from San Francisco.
We’re sending healing thoughts to our buddy DJ Ship Rex who is recovering from hip surgery. Rex’s latest gig was at Zombie Village last week, so a few of us went up to San Francisco on a weeknight to listen to some amazing music and wish our friend a speedy recovery. We arrived a bit … Continue reading "DJ Ship Rex at Zombie Village"

Twenty Years Ago on FITK Every school had one. A place for that last butt before classes. The space between the garages was popular for those who were "sneak" smokers. The alleys were tolerated by the officals, better to have them there than in the lavs, I suppose. Girls all wanted to stay thin. Boys wanted to impress the girls. Everyone stank. There are still some from my high school class that
În cartea 1984 de George Orwell, la un moment dat este descrisă harta lumii și teritoriile controlate de cele trei superstate. Oceania cuprinde ambele Americi, Insulele Britanice, Australia, Noua Zeelandă și sudul Africii. Eurasia se întinde pe tot continentul european și pe întreaga Rusie, până la granițele Asiei Centrale. Estasia controlează China, Japonia, Coreea și teritoriile din jur. Acum comparați harta descrisă mai sus cu imaginea de mai jos. Harta...
I have talked about Vibe coding in a lot of my posts about AI and I just realized that some of the readers of my Blog Posts might not actually know what it means. ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) recently shared a Tech Brief on Vibe Coding (AI-Assisted Software Development, or Vibe Coding: Benefits and […]
foofaraw.press The first anthology from Foofaraw Press has arrived.A little bit of self-promo here, but over on the litmag I run, we released our first full length anthology. It's a book of 30 stories that were submitted to us based on the theme of "foofaraw: a great deal of fuss or attention given to a minor matter." You can pick it up directly from us as a limited edition hardcover, paperback or epub/pdf, or find it anywhere books are sold online. It was a huge labor of...
aftermath.site If you’re wondering why GameStop would bother, you might find the answer in the fact that CEO Ryan Cohen, who publicly claims he currently receives no compensation for his role, will be paid $35 billion if he can get the company’s value to $100 billion, a moonshot that a deal like this seems specifically tailored towards.I can’t tell if this guy is that dumb, on something, or hiding something. Also, how does a moron like this end up being the CEO of a...
My 9th year at SXSW. A good time to name the top performances since 2016 and go a little deeper into my 2026. · 2016: Tickle Torture @ The Iron Bear with a lubed up set more erotic than Prince. · 2017: Duckwrth @ Banger's playing a most vibrant day-party set. · 2018: Joey Dosik @ Zilker Park. A pop up in the park was picnic perfect. · 2019: Celeste @ St David's Church. One of the greatest voices of our time, performing at a church. · 2022: Annabelle Chairlegs @ The Creek...
This writing is probably not what you think it is about. I have a very specific taste on tech related things. I prefer Linux and I like android. But, growing up I didn't get to experience tech the same way my friends did. Or, at least I experienced it very differently. The Context Being from a third world country, there was always a delay before everyone adopted new tech. When computers were a household item in first world countries, it was a luxury here. And...
Kev Quirk wrote a post about who knows that you blog (as a response to Forking Mad on the same topic). Kev writes: I'm similar to David and Alex - I'm not forthcoming with the fact that I have a blog, but I don't hide it either. I think that's mainly because most of my friends and family won't really care about what I write here, so it's a pointless exercise. I think this is a truth that largely anyone who does any kind of sincere blogging on...
Another great afternoon playing ultimate on the beach and another great sunset. Technically this photo was from last week but I was too busy playing to get the sunset pic tonight. 😄
