We waste an enormous amount of energy trying to distinguish between things we must accept and things we should change. Traditional philosophy calls this the âdichotomy of control,â but it rarely tells you how to tell the difference between gravity (which you canât change) and tax policy (which you can). The result...
tl;dr: You can now serve map files for CoMaps from your own servers, including local ones. I made a small and simple command-line tool to help you download the maps to your computer and serve them in a local network. CoMaps is a mobile app for Android & iOS that provides offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation â...
I took a few days off around the past weekends and turned them into four and five-day weekends. Things were pretty uneventful, but I wasnât too productive - just being lazy, having a drink or two every other evening, binging on shows and movies but very little gaming. The game I play obsessively had a release right...
Read on the website: There are narrow screen CSS problems I often email people because of. These three fixes should be enough for most.
When working on data pipelines with pythonâs pandas or polars, you will often produce data artifacts for others to use, either as csv files or excel files. It can be a real hassle to exit the terminal to view these files. Two handy tools allow you to preview either the input or output files you are working with,...
Practice Needs Support mtift Mon, 01/05/2026 - 05:14 Iâve learned itâs wise to wait a bit before writing about retreat experiences.Silent meditation retreats, 10-day yoga trainings, and long immersions tend to work on me slowly. Sometimes the effects fade quickly. Sometimes they linger. Every now and then, something...
Durante mi Ășltima visita a Valencia he visitado el Camp de Mestalla haciendo el Mestalla Forever Tour. Se trata de una visita guiada por las entrañas del vetusto estadio valencianista. El Mestalla Forever Tour comienza con una introducciĂłn histĂłrica del Camp de Mestalla. Por poner un poco de contexto, el estadio es...
The end of history? Or the beginning of content? In my last post I looked back at 2025, considering how FOSS continues to be central to how I do my work as a university professor. I probably had hoped 2026 would be better overall, but new horrors from Trump undermined that. But I'm going to ignore all that to focus...
We had a dusting of snow that seemed to be completely localised to Berkhamsted. Just enough for the kids in the street to get out on their sledges and whizz down our street. On Wednesday I turned 49. One of the fun things about being born on New Yearâs Eve is that the next day I can already say that I will be 50...
I'm a few days late to the party, but I just heard about the new product announcements from Clicks â the company that makes physical keyboard cases for smartphones â and I haven't been this excited about mobile device announcements since the BlackBerry KEY2 (2018). Watch the video and check the website for more...
The last time I wrote a year in review was in 2019. I ended it with âhave a healthy 2020â and we all know how that went. Since it does feel like weâve been living in hell since 2020 I somehow stopped writing yearly reviews. But I have been itching to capture more of my life and I did have an okay 2025 so here it is....
In August 1905, while Mina Hubbard was mapping Labrador in her pioneering expedition, the Brooklyn Eagle reported one of the most âremarkable exploits in Arctic workâ â a relief expedition to rescue the American explorer Anthony Fiala and his crew, who had been stranded in the icy expanse for nearly two years,...
In my last blog post, I noted:With regard to sustainability [of Artemis], there are several considerations: infrastructure and its associated costs, the time required to maintain the software, responding to user requests and inquiries, and more.This had me thinking about how to communicate what âthe time required to...
Antecedently: Holy water cannot help you now; #attemptacle; Isaac inflicts 6d12 guilt damage, keep the fucking change Just a reminder: An asshole would like to fight us!

Dave mentioning the brilliant Lola Young reminds me Iâve still to delight you with my Top 10 albums for 2025, so you can start playing them and get your âSpotify ageâ down from 64 to 24 next year.

My first paid streaming service was MOG. I joined in October 2010, paying $4.99 a month (!) and really liked it. The interface was a little odd and the way the queue operated took some getting used to, but it was a quirky service with some really nice features that I quite enjoyed. I stuck with it until it sold to...
Windbringer's internal clock tells me that, as I write this the calendar date is 27 December 2025. To be honest, I kind of lost track of the date just before Christmas of this year. Everything started blurring together around that time, in part because it had been raining so much in California and in part because my...
This is the 1965 Pan paperback edition of The Black Moth. The novel was originally published by Heinemann in 1921.I began The Black Moth with very little information beyond its biographical context. Heyer first invented the story to amuse her younger brother Boris during an illness; her father, overhearing its...
In December 2025, Joel did a pretty cool thing on his blog. He demanded asked for the participation from some other bloggers for a post, Desert Island games (feat. some of you!). Solitude. Yes please. And I get a game to play too? Sweet. A few games come to mind, but there can only be one. Should I take the game...

A few days ago I got a set of Tarkir and Bloomburrow commander precons in. I broke them all down and listed the singles this weekend so I had over 60 orders to pull and fill today. Took 3 hours to sort and pack them. That's only about $200 worth of sales, minus shipping, minus fees. Womp womp. You can see why I'm...
More I watch Shahrukh Khanâs movies more I admire him. After all he is known as King of Romance. This movie is about an Indian tour guide, Harry, living in Europe after running from his home many years ago. In one of his tour he is forced to help her client Sejal after finishing the tour. In the beginning he does it...

Here's some of the music I've listened to in 2025 â things in regular rotation, things from a while ago that I've revisited, and new (or new-to-me) music I've added to my library of digital downloads/CDs.

Note: Since this post is about this blogâs design, I recommend reading this post on a desktop browser so you can see the new design. That said, itâs not mandatory as Iâve included screenshots. Thanks to my obsession over design and aesthetics, Iâd been brainstorming for ways to improve my blogâs design because I...
Two services from PC do Manual, our FOSS apps server, have gotten some cool new features in recent weeks. These versions are already active on our server.

The first phase of combining NYC Coffee and MN Coffee into a unified platform, starting with database consolidation and schema design.
My crafting time usually coincides with less work on online these days, so in my relative absence Iâve been doing a lot of sewing, and a little bit of crocheting. These are all wearables for me (and one is a gift), some out of necessity, and others because I just had some neat ideas and wanted to try them out. Below...
It's been a while since I put out a series-wide book trailer for my contemporary/urban fantasy series the Mia Graves Saga, so it seemed about time I do an updated one. As you may have noticed, I say book 5, The Perfect Host, should be out later this year. I'm deep into writing it, and I am determined to have this...
Well... after 2+ weeks headache/migraine free, here I am again trying to tame one. Which leaves me with one culprit which I am going to test as of tomorrow... maybe I cannot have milk after all. Thank you for following my feed! â„ Leave a reply here.
Image by 200 Degrees from Pixabay (Cropped) Direct navigation, the âIâll just type the site name real quickâ habit, has quietly become one of the webâs dumbest footguns.

Watch out: a new website appears! Yesterday I published the ninenteeth official version of this website and this time round itâs inspired by the work Iâve done on developer tools these last few years. Itâs my own personal IDE: you can navigate files, open up folders, and see how Iâd organize an operating system. My...
A man in my community was recently convicted on animal cruelty charges after strangling a cat to death. This was an awful thing for someone to do, and I hate what happened to the kitty. I commented on a local news story, about the double-standard we have for animal cruelty - that we have no issue with it in factory...
I am newly in love with the idea of a postroll here in the first few days of 2026. Iâve sung their praises in the past, and Iâve got one of my own on this site (which I intend to make more quickly accessible in future layout updates). I find it so helpful in discovering new people to follow in the wide world of...

Some days, the weather doesnât invite adventure â just cold, wind, and low clouds. Last Tuesday was one of those days, and I nearly stayed in. But I opted for a quick "training mountain" hike. The closed summit trail forced an early turnaround, yet the descending clouds turned an ordinary workout into a surprise...
