For these three things I thank God: Abundance. Grace in all its many forms and manifestations. Divine providence and patience. SUNDRIES: John 8.21 caught my attention and has me pondering. (See also 7.34.) God sees, God knows, God holds, God rewards. The mount of transfiguration was a life-changing experience for...

There’s an interesting conversation occurring around conversational AI, and the thought that humans, as a species, aren’t properly equipped to handle their existence. Consider these perspectives when next reading about blind trust in Gemini search results, or people using ChatGPT as a therapist. Rusty Foster:...
I have replaced the link to the RSS feed to the one wrapped by subscribeopenly.net. SubscribeOpenly is a service maintained by James that makes RSS more easy to use: it allows to choose your news/RSS of choice directly and offers ways to learn what RSS is directly (like this fantastic explanation). Anyway, this is...
July is the birth month of both my father and I. We both had nice birthday celebration at home in this July. In my case, I got to enjoy roti canai as lunch in a local café, buy a cute banana plushie as my birthday present this year, and then enjoy tiramisu as my birthday cake at home. In early July, I bought myself...
My second time making a post with Eleventy. I love it! The markdown file is so clean, there's just the header info, and then below that, a vast empty blank space. No HTML to bump into and tip over, Eleventy adds all that in for me at the end. Lovely!

And approximately a century later, I have come back to listening to entire albums in a sitting. Or at least, that's how long it feels since the last time I did that. In classic millennial fashion, I blame this period of album-less meanderings of my music-consumption routine on the emergence of a plethora of things...
One of David Bowie's characters in the 1999 3D game, Omikron: The Nomad Soul. On May 12, 1999, a surprising announcement came over the wires. “Eidos Interactive, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced a collaboration with legendary rocker David Bowie on Omikron: The...
Hay dos claves para la abundancia: Las leyes del universo (we must be attuned to them in order to live in perfect harmony with it) 7 dones internos (Notas de la clase con Maria Montemayor de Soy Abundante. I don't agree with everything and this is frankly a mess, but if you speak both Spanish and English and find...

My daughter finally convinced me to give Lil Darkie a chance. She’s been a fan for a bit, but I’d avoided giving him much thought and haven’t listened to much else he’s done. The guy has, not surprisingly, had his fair share of controversy. His cringeworthy name and Little Black Sambo-inspired cartoon avatar are...
I don’t normally post about professional triathlon racing, but I enjoyed Paula Findlay’s race recap from Ironman 70.3 Boise on the That Triathlon Life podcast. It’s interesting, and sometimes validating, to hear about I race I did from a pro’s perspective: The swim was choppy, and long; the buoys were hard to...
The cost of being online is getting too damn high and I’m tired of pretending it’s possible to fit these tasks into a normal life. That’s why I’d like to share a modest proposal for a new set of holidays to manage our digital lives: (Ahem.) A day to clear out your inboxes A day to reset your passwords and delete old...

As a solo founder, I wear every hat: strategy, UX, data, code, infra, support, and more. To stay fast and coherent, I keep a lightweight product system inside my monorepo and pair it with a role-specific AI assistants that let me “switch hats” on demand.TL;DR setup:Four core docs live in wiki/product/ and connect...

I don't write about Apple. I had to this time. It started with a magazine ad. A musician I admired was pictured: Henry Rollins, looking as he does, in black, shorts, tattoos visible and holding a computer. An Apple Powerbook. He appears with Terry Ellis from Imago Records, Rollins Band's label. I had some computer...
So with Blaugust going on, I’ve found so many new blogs to read. Someone (and I’m sorry, I didn’t save the link) created an opml file that allows you to import the RSS feeds from every single blog that is participating in Blaugust 2025. I did this. Because I love to read blogs, even when I’m not all interested in...
Lately I've been trying, and failing, to think of what to say when I come back to this blog. I'm not leaving (I like blogging far too much!), but I have made myself rather scarce lately. But what is there to write about? The urge to write comes and goes. I didn't really have any moments that made me stop and think,...
Wow, I’m such a nerd.

My Acid Renaissance: Arcana exhibition opened on Friday evening, and it seems to be going well so far. I don’t want to speak too soon, but sales are looking good already - certainly enough to cover the costs of the exhibition already, so if nothing else I’ve already broken even. There’s a piece in Sussex World with...
Mysterious taiwanese website built for nodate, the content / art projects brand of Auspic paper, developped by okok.services
“It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity” isn’t as much an aphorism as a punchline, as people point out—often with an unwarranted hint of smugness, as if nobody else had made this observation before—that 95° F is too damn hot no matter how humid it is. And, I mean, sure, but imagine these two scenarios: Tampa: The high...
