§ Estilo do site Fiz algumas pequenas mudanças no layout, removi CSS desnecessário e alinhei o conteúdo à esquerda. Tirando isso, nada muito aparente. § Seção “Mais” A seção que era denominada Mídia agora tomou a forma de Mais. Isso se deve ao fato de que eu queria adicionar mais páginas singulares ao meu site mas...

Everyone wrote one of these and I wanted to too. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about my incomplete projects, and then recently about my unproductive but joyful holiday break. And currently, I’m busy procrastinating on my media recap, which feels bad, and has felt bad for the past few weeks while it’s loomed over...
I go to the grocery store at least twice a week because we are a house of 6 people, 4 of which are adult level eaters. When I make food there are rarely leftovers. (Unless it was a failed experiment where I gave an online recipe the benefit of the doubt.) Anyway, I went to the store to get eggs and cheese to make...

I don’t want to create tech-debt. In the same vain, installing one plugin to do one thing that building out infrastructure for this instance is a time sink. After spending a few hours writing PHP to add a previous post into a another post; I wanted to add a front-end component to allow easier selection of desired...
I can’t stop thinking about a series of blog posts by Eleanor Janega I read a couple of months ago. The first is called There’s no such thing as the ‘Dark Ages’, but OK, where she writes: The medieval period was not a period of stagnation, it was a time of progress. Wait, what? That’s not what I thought! This is...
Leí ayer que Genbeta ha cesado su actividad. Publicaron un artículo hace unos días que creo que no mucha gente entendió como una despedida, a pesar de la última frase. A mí me da mucha pena; Genbeta es de los primeros blogs que empecé a seguir cuando empecé a moverme por Internet, y tuve la oportunidad de formar...
Most Nooses weren’t built as extraction. They started as Ropes—legitimate coordination mechanisms solving real problems. Then time passed. Context shifted. The original problem disappeared or transformed. But the structure remained, calcifying from useful to vestigial to extractive. The people maintaining it forgot...
Gains without measurement. The weight fell off. Literally and figuratively, the device that now occupies my wrist is simple. It’s much smaller, tells the time, and the date. It requires no battery and is powered by my own kinetic movement, like riding a bicycle. For the past few years, I’ve been wearing a Garmin...
Oh, I wished there were some rays of sunshine through all the dreariness, and I wanted everyone to wash their hands. It also took its sweet time revealing the final act, but I thought Hamnet was brilliant. I cried. +Currently Listening: Max Richter “Of the heart”Reply via email
AutoDescriptor: Added page description via AutoDescriptor bot [[Shiri's Scissor]] is a fictional device that constructs maximally controversial statements. It is the primary macguffin in a (popular among rationalists and adjacents) science-fiction story on Slate Star Codex titled...
Recently, I've again started going to cinema quite regularly. My prior non-cinema-going wasn't because I'd strongly decided against it, but because, in general, the local cinemas are dry as the Sahara (or any other) desert with the exception of kids movies and...
Not even two weeks ago I wrote about “Reproducable Vibecoding” and that the specification as a permanent context to document all decisions is important. I just stumbled across the article “Notes on Six Months of AI-Enabled Building” by Isaac Flath. There are a couple of good quotes in there, especially in the...
In my first post on contrast-color() I demo’d using color-mix() to change a background-color on hover, but I will be honest… mixing black and white isn’t always what you want. It would be cool and helpful to coerce contrast-color() to return either 1 or -1 so that we could adjust lightness in a color function on...
As #LEGO are releasing the SmartBrick soon, it's a good time to point to this article from a few years back with IMO a much cooler "smart" LEGO brick with embedded screen and capacitive touch studs. Please, James Brown, sell me some of these! ⬣
The light was always there — our star is a hundred million years older than our planet — but it was learning to see it, to harness it, to transform it, that made this rocky planet a living world: photoreceptors converting sunlight to sugar to green the Earth, eyes co-evolving with consciousness to give us books and...
Once again, Google threatens the 3 billion (!) Gmail users with Gemini (AI) features. This time, the change is dramatic: the inbox will be “smart”, which would be tempting if AI models were capable of summarizing correctly (they are not) and were not prone to mistakes (“hallucination” is an euphemism for mistakes)....
Read E.J.'s story, Moon to Moon FM, on Foofaraw now!Do you believe in any conspiracy stories?I question everything, particularly official narratives. That doesn’t mean I “believe in” conspiracy theories. Instead, I tend to simply ignore things that have nothing to do with my daily life as they don’t affect me and I...

Escribir es una actividad que disfruto más allá de lo que se puede leer en este blog. Para ello, utilizo una pluma estilográfica Parker IM con punta F, entintada con Quink de color negro de la misma marca.

A weeknote? Yes, I think I'd say so. Certainly a note. Certainly about a week. Should qualify. The omelette really was very good.
Eu não sou o maior fã de futebol em jogos que existe. Eu acho que antes do ano passado aonde eu participei de um mini-microcosmo-campeonato-de-bomba-patch-20XX o meu último contato com jogos de futebol tinha sido no World Cup 98 do Nintendo64, que aqui eu tenho que dar o braço a torcer é um dos jogos mais divertidos...
This was my longest length of time between Weeknotes but come on… you didn’t even notice, right? The holidays and new year were nice and I certainly enjoyed two weeks off from work. There was plenty of time with family and friends, nice downtime to read and watch movies, and I started thinking through how we’re...
The weekend and the week were busy as we wrapped up at Thrissur, traveled, and got back to work after the holiday season. Uma’s school also restarted this week after the holidays. We are back to regular programming. Saturday was spent meeting Manikantan. Manikantan was a temple elephant, but no more. There is a...
January 2026. Hastings. Hastings ? Again ?! Although the wonders of the Kent and Sussex coast are on our doorstep in Rye, they’re not much use if you don’t get out the caravan till noon. It’s still dark by four down here, and Hastings is only 20 minutes by train. And In had unfinished business with the town after...
When I’m having fun with a hobby, nothing kills my motivation faster than learning about a better, more efficient way I could be doing things. I was playing Fantasy Life i – chopping trees, making boots, fishing fish, and just generally having a grand time. It felt like alchemy skills were taking longer than the...

Happy past Holidays everyone! I hope y'all had very lovely and pleasant holiday season last year. I had a delightful season myself, although very filled up, hence my total absence here. With my wife we saw 2 movies in cinemas in December: Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and Silent Night Deadly Night (2025). Both of these...
Emma Orchard's debt to Georgette Heyer is evident throughout A Gentleman's Offer. Orchard, a former copy editor at Mills & Boon, makes this overt — she writes in her acknowledgements how she began with Heyer fanfiction during the Covid lockdowns and then moved onto her own original characters. As I've been exploring...
New year, same attackers. I’m kicking the Weekly Roundup back into gear for 2026 so we can track what actually matters: the patches worth prioritizing, the campaigns worth watching, and the patterns worth learning from. No doom-scrolling. Just signal. Cybersecurity Weekly Roundup — the week’s biggest security news,...
I recently decided to fork and maintain a new version of the Gixy nginx security tooling, calling my fork Gixy-Next. The official website is https://gixy.io/, and the source code is available on GitHub at MegaManSec/Gixy-Next. The Python package is available on PyPi, but there’s also an online scanner which can be...
I gave a short talk today to some students at Haverford College and Bryn Mawr College about AI, a career in tech, networking, and getting jobs in general! My friends Lilly and Johnson from FSH Tech are teaching a J-Term course at these schools to help students learn about agentic AI, production deployment, and...
Photo by Siegfried Poepperl In 2025, and now in 2026, I've been leaving and will continue leaving several beloved services I once enjoyed. This series will chronicle my exits and remind me why I did it. First on the list: Twitter. A few days ago, I woke up. I went online, entered my heavily modified Twitter...
Dear reader,When I was scrolling the internet some weeks ago, I encountered this article by MakeUseOf, where the author boldly claims that people don't really want privacy even though they might think they do. As a privacy-advocate, I got intrigued and read the whole thing. In the end, I was left with a strong urge...
★★★★☆ (as a TV show) ★★★☆☆ (for the purposes of this blog) 2024 / 4 episodes ~50 minutes each During my year at Code For America, I saw many glimpses of truly bad technology – slow courtroom computers, infuriating interfaces, obsolete specs, and the inevitable layer of remote access GUIs atop it all that made...
At its November 2025 meeting, the Board of the American Philosophical Association (APA) approved a statement addressed “first and foremost, to trans members of our profession,” and to “those who teach and research in the philosophy of sex and gender, and philosophy that addresses LGBTQ+ issues,” but also to “all...
My wife is a historian, and sometimes, she likes to look up really old German recipes. One of those recipes was for strawberry soup from 1752. “Durchklaube die Erdbeer, und wasche sie schön, zuckers nach Genügen; gieß gemeinen oder, so du willst, süßen Wein daran, treibs durch und lass es nur einen Sud aufsieden:...
While I'm enjoying this, i just realized how much of these worlds are based on standaard American capitalism’s... where are the other cultures???
ONE DANG TIME, William and I arrived on Discord for game night, only to discover that Isaac had a bold, frightening, and intriguing suggestion: We play a game called For The Queen, essentially a guided role-playing and collaborative storytelling game where we choose a Queen to serve from a deck of simply gorgeous...
