I really like OpenAI products. I can certainly appreciate Altman as a company leader (even if there is a dark cloud — and silvery orb — following him seemingly everywhere). Obviously, I admire Sir Jony Ive and most of the products he designed for Apple over the years, easily placing him among the most influential...

One of my sporadic book reviews

I have a lot of communication apps. By volume: Twitter DMs, Signal, Whatsapp, iMessage, Discord, email. Because I have so many disjoint places where communication happens, I have a daily task on Todoist to go through each of these, and ensure that every conversation is handled, where “handled” means: if I can reply...

Gurumin is a cute 3D action-RPG that is more than the sum of its parts and that has drawn me back into Playstation Portable (PSP) gaming. I spent 16½ hours in the game on a modded PSP-2000. The game was developed by Nihon Falcom and published in Europe by 505 Games in 2007. I play ball-of-energy Parin—or how I named...

Tech nerds have too many cables. If you’re like me, you have boxes and totes and drawers full of every type of cable and cord imaginable. And my stuff is toned down from where it used to be because I threw out a lot of stuff during my last spring-clean. But I still have so many cables, it’s insane. The real issue...

Like I said in my last post, I'm a big fan of my phone being in grayscale, which helps reduce screentime. This is a quick guide on how to set that up using Shortcuts in a way that automatically disables it for certain apps like Photos and Camera.

When I started working on the ADS-B station project, I only used its name as a working title. I kept it for so long simply because I couldn't come up with a better name.

The dependency inversion principle is about inverting dependencies. Right? Actually, maybe not.

Skopiowany z tego posta na Facebooku wpis na temat powodów wysokiego poparcia szurskich opcji politycznych tuż przed wyborami prezydenckimi. Archiwizuję, ponieważ przedstawia bardzo interesującą perspektywę, z którą się zgadzam. To co się dzieje w polityce jest w gruncie rzeczy dość proste do wyjaśnienia i...

Now that I am a gardener I need to sort out the compost bins. I have three of them, I have geeked out on how to do it and made a start. My suspicion is that I will become a compost bore. I also suspect my other half is going to point this out to me.

Just like its characters, Love Never Fails was resurrected from death. While "broadcasting is a victory", can its old-fashioned xianxia plot really stand the test of time?

8:03 AM. I’m in class right now. It’s my last day of high school. I have my earbuds in. Listening to music I used to listen to and such. It’s moving how each song brings back a memory for me. A vision of the past, a moment where I played that song on repeat. I’ve played a lot of songs on repeat before. It’s become...

Here's a small start to start blogging about my community. First, I start with cafes offering yummy food: Here's a sandwich cafe called iTOR.

My intro to Hugo was back in 2016, a mere 3 years after its inception, when I was in my early days of learning web development. Quite a bit has changed since then, both in what Hugo is capable of and my understanding of how to actually code. I’m far from being a frontend dev, but I’ve gathered a collection of...

BMW's C1 was an odd combination of car and motorcycle. It seemed to offer the advantages of both, and yet it wasn't a commercial success. Why?

Discovery Tools for Independent Websites Friday 23 May 2025 Earlier today I came across a blog post from Fred Rocha which perfectly describes my own fascination with the small independent web and the type of interactions it encourages. Blog post: Small (web) is beautiful - Fred Rocha He writes: I dream of a web that...

This is un-prompted and un-sponsored and I get nothing from it, but my friend Keith Devon has made this amazing new parenting tool called offline kids and I want to share it with you. My kids often come to me with the “I’m boooooooored”. In fact, the time between the end of their screentime and the “I’m...
