While working on my Stream Deck plugin for Clockify, I noticed that the API client package I was using, wasn’t up-to-date with the latest version of Clockfiy’s OpenAPI specification. Having played around with Swagger in the past, I thought it should be simple enough to generate a new C# API client from the specs,...

I imagine you find it much easier to live life without a mobile phone if you're both rich and white.

I think most developers out there would agree that we’re in a bit of an AI hype bubble, yet one piece of AI tech that has recently hit the market which developers can’t stop talking about might be different. Of course I’m talking about “agents” like Claude Code or my personal favorite Opencode. With a few prompts...

Note: This is a draft from an entry I wrote in my phone. I should finish it soon. I've been thinking about the good measure between measuring what matters and the troublesome process of measuring. For instance a Spanish YouTube shared his thoughts about the Oura Ring or the Apple Watch which gives you a lot of info...

Back in the heady days when email was new, I started an e-zine called ImoNet toward the end of 1996. A friend got me an email account at ibm.net. How, I’ve no idea. I’ve tracked ImoNet up to 2010, where by that time it was done in PDF format. It was a newsy, teaching medium. I’ve toyed with something similar, but...

A mission post by Chief Petty Officer Ludwig Ryan, Lieutenant JG Lia t'Rehu Mission - Let's Do The Timeloop Again The sickbay shift had gone largely as expected. Inventory, maintenance, the typical daily scrapes and bruises from people being people, somehow more boring than usual since both Lia and Veda weren't on...

Those of us whose online life began with 2400 bps modems or slower remember what life was like when viewing an image online meant downloading it line by line over a 10- or 15-minute period. One image. The early editions of CompuServe, Prodigy, and AOL were all text-based, as were local BBSs. When the real Internet,...

A few months ago, controversy stirred around one of the core maintainers of Hyprland, the Linux window manager, facing backlash for their political stances. It has been extensively covered by a slew of "techtubers" and bloggers, and I am not interested in re-hashing the events here. However, the discussion bubbled...

I recently added sitemaps to a few Rails-based marketing sites I manage for clients, and within weeks, we saw a noticeable boost in search traffic. It reminded me that not many people know about them or have totally forgotten about them (it's quite an old but effective SEO technique). Even fewer know about Google...

What has your relationship with music been like throughout your life? My earliest memories were of being in a Dodge van, listening to a gray cassette tape player of George Thorogood and the Destroyers. But, given the question, “What’s your relationship been like?” Hmm. I’d say that music is abundant. It’s almost...

A family trip to Milwaukee, Wisconsin showed me the surprising mix of old and new, urban and rural that this city has to offer.

This year, I was asked again by Vasilis van Gemert to work with a group of students who followed his Human Centered Design course at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. The students were tasked with designing visual captions for me for a movie of my choice. I asked them to pick a scene from ‘Odd […]

Puede parecer que las luchas contra las corporaciones tecnológicas son algo relativamente nuevo, pero en el San Francisco de 1981 se editó una publicación llamada Processed World: un fanzine anticapitalista y antiautoritario centrado en cómo el capitalismo de oficina fragmenta, aburre y deshumaniza. La revista fue...
