Two modes for learning. Both essential. Exploring is preliminary, faster, wider, and often more fun. Diving comes next. It’s slower, deeper, more difficult, but ultimately more satisfying.

Vengo de la ingeniería, ciencia de datos y los negocios tecnólogicos dónde se mide todo. El tiempo con alta precisión. Los resultados con decisiones frías de "se logró o no". La cantidad de repeticiones en el ejercicio, los pesos y centavos, y la velocidad con la que ganas dinero. Medir me ha sido natural. Es más,...

How my writing style and my dedication to accuracy flexes depending on the audience

What offers the convenience of a cassette tape, and the sound quality of a CD? Digital Audio Tape (DAT) does. So why wasn't it more successful?

A week ago, I made a post talking about my note-taking problem. In that post, I talked about the mess that my note-taking solution has been over the last couple of years. Then I talked about how the solution I came up with was Obsidian and an app called Quillpad. I’ve been using it for about a week now, and I have...

Plus que jamais s’affranchir des algorithmes de sélection de contenu devient nécessaire. Les flux web permettent de suivre facilement des publications. On le connaît davantage sous le nom de “flux RSS” mais le RSS est le nom d’un “dialecte” de XML pensé pour permettre la syndication de contenu. XML est un format de...

Onze maatschappij en overheden draaien in steeds grotere mate op Amerikaanse clouds, en we maken ons hier nu terecht zorgen over. Als we dit op willen lossen zullen er meer en betere Europese producten moeten gaan komen. En vervolgens moeten we die ook nog gaan kopen, en niet makkelijk weer voor dezelfde VS big tech...

¶ 1. Four hours (nearly) seemed like a lot less yesterday as a friend and I met between our cities to talk work, family, and dreams. ¶ 2. Reading 10 chapters of the Bible a day, following Prof. Horner’s plan, is a challenge. Worth the effort, however. ¶ 3. Some people use Paul’s letter to the Romans, almost...

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 June 2025 marked the first Pride Month since Galaxy Garden was officially launched in October 2024, so I would like to take this opportunity to celebrate my queerness in the context of personal blogging. When I blogged for the first time in the later half of the 2000s as a teenager and...

I stumbled into what might be some combinatorial esoterica and I can't stop thinking about it. Books Up until April 2023 we had a pretty special second hand book shop up the road, next to the local café1. While it was there my mid morning coffee runs usually involved having a browse and I often picked something up....

Day 12, What hobbies have you had in the past that you no longer have? What happened? The only hobby I can think of is Magic: The Gathering. To be honest, I just transitioned that obsession/hobby into different interests. I still really enjoy deck-building games and, if anything, enjoy them more without the mana...

Happy Third Weeknote! This one covers the last couple of weeks. Some Links Worth Sharing This WGCI & WBMX tape collection from 1988 features over 60 radio show recordings of the early days of Detroit house music. Fantastic stuff. In the neighborhood of 50 hours of music. The Subway is not Scary - “Fear of the subway...

table, th, td { border: 1px solid black; } Back in the day I played a lot of online FPS games, but one really stuck with me and earned most of my devotion: Enemy Territory, the free (and now open source) team, class and objective-based game. I remember during a late night session, one of my clan-mates said:...

The QR codes for Fitness SF started changing. I had previously created an Apple Wallet pass that would automatically open the code up when you arrived. This stopped scanning at the end of May, and although updating my member ID temporarily fixed it, it broke again two weeks later. This lined up with the update of...
