I saw this summer’s Marvel movie in the theater on Sunday. A bit of a last minute idea so we ended up going to the “legacy” movie theater across the highway. Before I continue, It’s important to understand my local cinema dynamics. We...
I’ve been struggling with my fibromyalgia + chronic fatigue lately. So hard for me to do any of the things I want to do. I can push myself into it for something especially compelling but that ends up wiping me out for days afterward. And...
In this new video series, I talk to anybody who is interested to have a video call with me (so do contact me if you want!). The topics cover anything related to Emacs, technology, and life in general. More here:...

At the Principia conference last week, I was invited by GRIFA (GRupo Interinstitucional de Filosofias Analyticas), to give a workshop on the topic of methodology. Since I was given two hours — one the first night of the conference, one...
As I continued the descent into my split keyboard addiction, I decided to dive off the deep end and handwire my own ergonomic keyboard. My Corne was a good intro keyboard, but I eventually determined it had more keys than I actually...

I went for an overnight trip to FRA. And it goes without saying that I spent Sunday afternoon and Monday morning at Zeppelinheim capturing airplanes. The light was meh, but I did manage to catch a handful of interesting machines,...

I’ve been feeling a little disconnected in a weird way from music lately, which is kind of odd, considering that I am almost always playing something during the day. I’m a huge music fan, always have been, and I think that in this world...
