It's been brought to my attention that I'm not posting enough 'fall colors' photos now that it's October
#podcast #ElSueñodelArtista #Blog #Bansky #ArteContemporaneo Hoy en día está de moda , si eres artista contemporáneo caer en "la boca del monstruo vendedor de arte " haciéndolo con el primer objeto que se te viene a la mente : un plátano pegado a la pared con cinta adhesiva o colocar un vaso con agua en […]
I’m currently on and off designing and building v2 of this website. Along the way, I’ve been looking for some fonts that I could use for my new branding. As a future reference for me and hopefully as inspiration for you, I wanted to share some of the gems I found: Host Grotesk A beautiful sans-serif font that works...
Things I shouted into the void during the month of September 2025

The Perfetto UI is a fascinating project to work on because it often faces performance problems which you wouldn’t see in more “normal” webapps. I learn about all sorts of weird web features by reviewing PRs for the UI. Two such features I just learned about: will-change (PR): a hint, to be used sparingly, to tell...
I’m still experimenting with ChatGPT and Claude as proofreaders for my blog posts. Because I’ve been writing more posts lately, I’ve been learning the good and the bad more rapidly than I would have expected when I started this. Time for a preliminary assessment.
This week I tried an experiment. I booked a small apartment somewhere in the countryside and went there for three days without bringing any devices with me that could go online. The only things I brought were a dumb phone, formerly known as, you know, a phone (so I could be reached in case of an emergency), an iPod...
This afternoon we visited Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. The grounds are a study in contrasts — with the former president's love of science and culture set to a backdrop of slavery. +

Links! Links! Links! When we “leave something to the imagination,” what are we doing? — Luke Roelofs takes up the question “Most people are such that most people they know are more social than they are” — a short demonstration from Alex Pruss Claude and ChatGPT are not welfare subjects. But thinking of them that way...
October 2025. Matlock. Your £10.15 day return to Matlock from Sheff gives you an hour and six minutes, which is just enough time to tick your new GBG entry, consider how pretty England is in The Fall*, wonder if there’s a bar in that castle on that hill, leaving all of 28 minutes to add… Continue reading HOMEBREW OR...
If you are a tiny business wo/man, there are literally no easy payment products to sell online. They all need registration, KYC, complex setups, etc. This is even when you have a valid bank account. There are also platform and transaction fees. In such scenarios, I see most people receive money on UPI...
Previously. When a package is installed with --HEAD: % brew install --HEAD pancake …brew upgrade won’t automatically fetch its latest version. In order to do so, run: % brew upgrade --fetch-HEAD [package...] Source1. I answered it there, does that count as linking to the source? ↩︎
Back in June, I wrote a post about how I had started keeping track of certain habits. These were things I wanted to improve upon by doing every single day. I’ve done a somewhat good job of actually doing this since then. First, as I said in that post, I used an Obsidian daily note to track these habits. Obsidian,...
Updates from the bridge: I'm about a week in of wiping out most of my socials and the level of mental health improvement I've experienced is insane. I feel so much better lol. DJ_Dave had their first headline show and it absolutely slaps; watch it Found devdocs.io this week; comprehensive documentation for just...
I watched this movie last week (sorry for always posting it late) and I was very impressed by it especially when I have low expectation from American directors about the portrayal of Paris. Surprisingly, Woody Allen did a remarkable job here. The movie has very light and relaxing vibes. I was hooked from beginning...
TheWrapI typically reserve this kind of link for Foofaraw, but the idea of Steven Soderbergh doing a Star Wars movie is just too fascinating. I feel like you could add up the budget of his last ten movies and they still wouldn’t equal a Star Wars movie.
I’m a professional hater. To hate on shit like me, you have to have already faced it. Browsers are a tough spot to market on. There’s a ton of choices, and you don’t know which to pick. The default would be Google Chrome, up next comes Firefox, but what if you genuinely care about what […]
Readers of this humble blog on desktop environments or on tablets are aware of the clock that decorates the left hand side of the screen; well, now everyone can have that nice artsy clock on their mobile devices… and no, it’s not an app.
In typesetting any long-running chunk of text to fit on physical sheets of paper, page-breaks will inevitably happen, and some of those page breaks will inevitably happen in ways that don’t please us. When this happens, we often have several approaches for curing these unpleasant page breaks, but choosing the right...
I find it fascinating that so many people fall for the fallacy that artificial intelligence is reliable enough to guide decision‑making. And sometimes I find it funny, too. Brazilian startup Jumpad is intriguing from the pitch itself: a “self‑hosted platform, deployed on the company’s cloud” that lets you enable...
"Liberalità Misteriosa" (Mysterious Liberality) from the Gli abiti de veneziani (1754) by Giovanni Grevembroch, translated by René Seindal.
Day 37, Do you have any good or bad stories from your relationship with social media or Internet communities? Ive had plenty of good experiences using the internet. More in the earlier days of twitter. It was fantastic to finally be able to talk with people about new libraries and concepts online. Then digg and...

I need a simple pick me up book after this T-T
In Worthing, the dogs are back on the beach (from which they are banned from May to September) and are happily chasing balls thrown by their obliging owners. And now the crows, of which there are legions, are joining in. Keeping a beady eye on what's going on, as they always do, they have taken to swooping down and...
Some thoughts about staying in touch with people, some thoughts about what I do and such
I feel like every decade there's some unofficial meeting where everyone comes to the table and asks: "So, poptimism. How is this still a thing?" I've stumbled across a lot of great essays about it recently that all echo the same thoughts I've had about it for years. If you don't know, poptimism is the argument that...
A xianxia/xuanhuan drama with all the right ingredients except the most important one: An engaging and logical plot.
The Marginalian was born on October 23, 2006 as a kind of field notebook on my expedition through the wilderness of life, searching for signposts. We live in a hexadecimal world that loves the round anniversaries, the numbers that polish the perfect rim of zero. But to me, 19 is a much more meaningful number than...
What this is:A quick way to figure out which collaboration skill you need to work on right now. Not a diagnosis—just a mirror to see where you’re getting stuck.
