Alinhados feito soldados, um do lado do outro, em uma sala claustrofóbica, escura e situada em lugar nenhum. Não olhamos no olho de ninguém, a visão sempre distante; visão que perfura a face, perfura as paredes e imagina um céu...
Day 32, What is your perfect record album? This kind of seems like the article on day 24 of 50 blog posts but ill get after it. The perfect record album was this mixtape I had from earthday in 1996, specifically “95.7 FM San Diego:...
September 2025. Sheffield. Back home in Sheffield, for a couple of days at least, the question is “How much time do I waste on this new GBG, then ?“. Once you’ve done it once (did I ever mention ?) there’s no real need to do it again,...
I devoured these pages in two nights. I had promised myself three, but after meeting my second goal, I couldn’t stop. I needed to know what came next. What came next was life. Life and death. And that was it. The story was hauntingly...

I went over to a friend's house today and played around with his new 3D printer. We mostly perused directories with free design files. But we did get to print a few designs that looked pretty cool. I got to walk away with a few...

Casey recreated a dish from a recent night out by poaching pears, roasting squash and parsnip, grilling chicken and plating it with gem lettuce and a homemade cider vinaigrette. It was so good I could see this working into dinner...
I have been doing a lot of work these days on my themes. The immediate goal is two-fold: (i) make the modus-themes more flexible so they can be used as a the basis for other theme packages and (ii) make the ef-themes the first project to...

I'm another step closer to being back up to doing real-time monthly reading updates. In June, I managed a lot more reading driven by pleasure and curiosity than last time, and I also varied my formats and genres a bit more, which is one...
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the internet, writing for The Guardian: I gave the world wide web away for free because I thought that it would only work if it worked for everyone. Today, I believe that to be truer than ever. Regulation and...
