I had a ton of resistance to write yesterday. The same thing has happened today as well, but here I am anyway. More than likely, this resistance is coming from too much distraction. Whether it be responding to messages or compulsively...
Large language models like ChatGPT are not conscious, but there are other “serious contenders for AI consciousness that exist today” Furthermore, “AI development will not wait for philosophers and cognitive scientists to agree on what...
A few months ago, in my post Using GitHub as Commenting Platform, 2025 Edition, I explained how GitHub Issues can be used quite easily as a commenting platform: Create a GitHub issue for each post that contains at least the post URL Add...
I'm reminded that potluck meals are such a great way to come together.Currently Listening: Vince Guaraldi “Is It James or Charlie ?”Reply via email
So, when trying to come up with a topic for today, I had several in mind. One thing I’ve taught myself to do, however, is check my Archives page to ensure I haven’t written about a topic before. Now, I don’t see anything wrong with...
Last night I dreamed that I traveled far and wide through many distant lands. What did I see there? A scientist named Professor Meme and his friend, who went by Joe or Jake or if it was Robert—you know how dreams can get fuzzy—and their...
Sorry but ten became thirty real quick!
This weekend I knew we needed bread, but I couldn't get myself to the store. I just didn't want to, so I made it homemade instead. We had milk, and while I enjoy and the kids love the everyday bread I wanted something that was a little...
Someone in the weather division keeps cranking the saturation up
Read on the website:
I read Robert's post about The beauty of a simple hello, and could not agree more. So many people move through life in their own bubble. Focusing on their own passage. Ignoring the wider surroundings. For me, I like to embrace life more...
Haha, it was week 45. For once I’d be quite happy with a boring, normal week in which I have nothing to talk about. Maybe next week? The most exciting entry on my calendar for next week is a reminder to take out the garbage. Work-wise...
This is a very handy tip that I stumbled upon today. With the Jellyfin client for Android TV, I could not delete watched movies and episodes. To do so, I would need to log on to the Admin page in my browser and do it from there. This is...
A small note on how I'm organizing my bookmarks moving forward.
Updates from the Bridge: Saw some of the drama surrounding Omarchy recently and decide to share some thoughts on the distro and distro philosophy in general I've been playing around with my home server (a BeeLink SER8 which I've named...

From a November 4, 2025 CNBC report: Perplexity AI accused Amazon of “bullying” on Tuesday after it received a letter from the e-commerce giant demanding it prevent people from using its artificial intelligence browser Comet to make...
John Salley stated that Dennis Rodman refused to guard him in his 1992 return to Detroit after being traded to the Miami Heat. I decided to investigate when a couple of things did not add up.
Tatiana Siegel, Brent Lang, and Matt Donnelly, writing for Variety: The hope is to have a fresh “Star Trek” movie, though the studio has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from...
After starving myself for over twenty-four hours last week ahead of a colonoscopy, this week I once again found myself going without food for a whole day. Unfortunately, this time it wasn’t planned. We’re not sure whether it was food...

Google wants RSS dead 2025-11-10 I really like RSS. It’s a piece of technology that really embodies the beauty of the web: small, simple, but powerful and ubiquitous as a result. I use RSS every day to find new things to read, by way of...
This post discusses recent laws banning social media for adolescents
You write a long document. Perhaps it’s an ad, or a legal contract, or a design document. Problem statement: You would like to ensure, to a certain extent, that your audience has fully read it1. I like the following trick2: insert the...
My morning routine has evolved in a lovely way. It's not complicated, and really centers around 3 essential things after I get out of bed. Yoga, this is compulsory because I've been a desk jockey all my life and my hips have had enough....
Afternoon light across the platforms, tracks leading toward the mountains in the quiet between trains. 午後の光が差し込むホーム、山々へと続く線路、列車と列車の合間の静けさ。
饮料极简主义 多喝热水 🎵 那沙漠里的水 - 方大同 我不喜欢喝白水，总需要水里有点味道，或是咖啡、或是茶、或是啤酒、或是可乐…… 又想喝三得利的无糖乌龙茶了，打开外卖平台，纠结了半天如何可以更优惠，最后还是没买；站在饮料柜前，选择很多，纠结半天，最后还是买了瓶三得利乌龙茶。 奶茶和可乐，含糖量高，容易得糖尿病；酒伤肝；咖啡和茶喝多了容易睡不着。不管哪一种饮料，都会增加身体的负担，唯有白水是没啥负担的。（除非一下子喝很多）...
October 2025. Ladybarn. Manchester. That’s my view from a £17 a match season ticket at Manchester City a week ago, for one of the most exciting games I’ve seen at the Etihad. Staying over near Stockport meant I had time to join the 15%...
I just reorganized my library, so what did people gift me for my birthday? More books, of course. I guess nature really hates a vacuum. Apps Affinity. I was fully expecting Canva to radically simplify the Affinity suite, but i wasn’t...
Two things came together over the past few days. First was my longstanding belief that winters here in the Chicago area were snowier when I was a kid than they are now. I’m not sure why that popped back into my head, but it did. Second...
It’s sublime, to go into another room and make pictures. It’s magic time, where all your weaknesses of character, the blemishes of your personality, whatever else torments you, fades away, just doesn’t matter. You’re doing the one thing...
From gixy to Gixy-Next gixy is an old static analyzer for nginx configurations, which allows the operator to automatically discover vulnerabilities in statis nginc files. It works by reading the configuration into memory, and performing...
Embracing the existentialists in the face of subservience to AI.
摘抄 0813 Every instant of every day we are bombarded with information. In fact, all complex organisms, especially those with brains, suffer from information overload. Our eyes and ears receive lights and sounds (respectively) across the...
🗓️ // November 2 - November 8, 2024 This week’s Week Notes feel more like proof of life rather than proof of living. If you're following along via RSS, you might notice this post is backdated even though I'm writing it on 11/13, several...

In my youth, this album was a favorite. I just heard it again this morning I find myself wondering: “Whose ass were they kicking?”
I have been robbed, and I cannot complain. I got the notification today morning that daylight savings has been activated (deactivated?). That was a surprise to me because 1) I didn’t fully understand what that meant, 2) I still don’t...
I spent the majority of this week at a conference and in dinners and networking events, and as a result, I have fallen woefully behind my regular catching up on news and reading. Opening my RSS reader to see 400 unread articles was a...
