Jazz guitarist Joshua Breakstone performing at Bond's Rosary in Gion. I had to move as far back as I could to fit him into the view of my 50mm lens, but I liked what of all the out of focus elements on my table added to the picture. ジャズ・ギタリスト、ジョシュア・ブレークストーンが祇園のボンズ・ロザリーで演奏している。...
February 2025. Genoa. You’ll have to excuse this post, a little worse for wear after a night on the beer in Turin and now watching Mariah Carey introduce the Winter Olympics. Don’t the Italians have any singers ? It’s a dozen years since I was last in Genoa, marvelling at the 17th century palaces along Via Balbi,...
According to multiple media outlets, the Department of Homeland Security has filed for the expedited deportation of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his family. I have no words…other than… …leave Liam alone.
January was my first month back to writing my blog. As I’ve become more invested in the habit and the online writing community, I started reading articles that offer personal takes on the why and how of writing. I especially enjoyed Ben Kuhn's suggestions and wanted to take some notes for myself as a reminder. I...
So, on Mastodon last night, I saw someone say something along the line of “I couldn’t finish this book, I’m so sorry. No hate on the author, it’s a great book!” This pissed me off. I read a lot. I read many books that are good, many that are bad. I DNF books all the time because they’re not something I want to...
Just because I want to do something doesn't entitle me to start trying, and the opposite - I can't ignore things that need to be done before I waste time on hobbies. (Just because I want to open a store doesn't mean I deserve to.) BUT In a perfect selfish world, I'd run a shop. Two years ago I had plans to grow...
The weeknotes are back after a long hiatus. I've been contemplating whether to continue (or rather restart) writing them because it didn't feel right to share all these personal things in a public space. But I think it's important to keep writing them for myself, and if others find them interesting, that's a bonus....
After the long rant about the mechanical keyboard market, I bought the best mechanical keyboard that meets nearly all of my requirements - the Royal Kludge R87 Pro. 87% - Compact enough but not cramped No wireless, no batteries, obsolescence and stuff to worry about Ins/Del/Home/End/PageUp/PageDown key array at the...
I hosted W3C’s Advisory Board at Apple’s office in 22 Bishopsgate in the City of London this week. London isn’t at its best in February—the weather was pretty crummy, but the city charmed despite conditions. I stayed at Club Quarters Hotel in Gracechurch Street, a short walk from the office, to minimize getting...

I don't have any contacts at Zendesk, but I'm noticing another massive wave of spam from their platform: If you're seeing this and either work at Zendesk or know someone that does, please have them actually treat this as an issue and not hiding behind "just delete the emails lol".
Feeling like sharing some of my recent finds. I've been checking up on Mochii's channel for quite a while now. She always inspires me to stay weird, silly and creative, and reminds me that you are still cherished and admired when you are different. I feel pushed to finally get deeper into my personal style :) The...
Brian lapped around his tank, tail flicking like a metronome. All week he’d watched Mark hunch over a small tv-like-thing with a keyboard, fingers drumming, rain clawing the window. This weekend, Brian had decided. This weekend we will go somewhere; anywhere. He’d rehearsed: leap into the travel jar, sit regal while...

Read Gio's story, Filbert, on Foofaraw now!Is this story a metaphor for depression?It can be read that way but, to me, Filbert is the seduction of retreat: the part of the self that offers relief through isolation, and asks for a bigger and bigger share of your life in exchange. The light in the story is not...
This review is special as it is about an unpublished book written by my friend and colleague, Prof. Stephane Douady. I am honoured to be among the first few readers, as this gave me a unique opportunity to write the very first review. The main theme of the book is spiritual philosophy, where the author tries to find...
Mark Kermode’s review of Melania (2026) is so good, and everything I expected it to be.

Some time back, in a routine cleanup of my many drafts, I found one where I "introduced" vāk, the blogging script/tool I use to run my blog. I never quite finished that draft. I am certain I must've dissuaded myself from writing it by thinking, "no one's going to read it anyway." About a couple of days back, I...
“The meaning of life… clearly has to do with love — what and whom and how one can love.” Meaning is not something we find — it is something we make, and the puzzle pieces are often the fragments of our shattered hopes and dreams. “There is no love of life without despair of life,” Albert Camus wrote between two...

Dr Hyska‘s research is in social philosophy of language, social metaphysics, and social epistemology, focusing especially on questions about...
After the earthquake had destroyed three-fourths of Lisbon, the sages of that country could think of no means more effectual to prevent utter ruin than to give the people a beautiful auto-da-fé; for it had been decided by the University of Coimbra, that the burning of a few people alive by a slow fire, and with...
Fra i compiti che mi spettano come presidente di APS Oltre (Scambi Festival) c’è l’aggiornamento del RUNTS. Purtroppo, per validare qualunque operazione su quella piattaforma è necessario un macchinoso processo di firma digitale di una “Distinta” in PDF. Finora ho usato il software FirmaOK, con la firma digitale di...
Karel Bittner on Pexels A note on my favourite film genreAs I was walking out of the cinema after watching Akinola Davies Jr.'s wonderful feature debut My Father's Shadow yesterday, I started thinking about how my favourite films from the past few years have been about memory. Not just the exercise of remembering,...
Problem statement: some CLI tools accept only a single file as an argument. Create a pre-commit local hook for them. A common workaround is to wrap it in a bash for-loop (.pre-commit-config.yaml): yaml repos: - repo: local hooks: - id: my-formatter name: my-formatter language: system entry: bash -c 'for file in...
Signal is an instant messaging application widely used by human rights defenders, activists, and other high-risk subjects. As of January 24, 2026, it seems Signal's phone number verification is broken. This means those who rely on secure communication can't use Signal.The issue seems to have persisted since Jan 19,...
This menu in Chrome feels like a surface running away from its creators: I think cerebrally I understand the subtle difference between Show and Always Show, but is that difference worth it? Because at some point the repetitiveness and heaviness of that top section is casting a huge shadow over the rest of the menu....

How AI programming tools are making weekend side projects viable for more builders, and what that means for democratizing software.
London-based hard rock three-piece, Calva Louise's "Con Corazon" is a Dead Sara-ish grungey "quiet-verse noisy-chorus" in a grimy basement with a slick af bass — heck of a scream on her! Meanwhile, the latest album –2025's "Edge of the Abyss"– is drastically different and absolutely incredible. Touches of MSI,...
It’s been a hectic week. I was in Mumbai for a day on Wednesday, a quick but tiring trip. I had so much to do this week that I couldn’t play or do P.T. To be fair, I did go to P.T on Tuesday, but couldn’t go on Thursday. In hindsight, I could have, but I gave more importance to a meeting than it required. Something...
A lo largo de los últimos meses he realizado algunos cambios con respecto al uso que hago de internet. De no ser por Codeberg Pages, mi página web no existiría. Sin embargo, dicho servicio ahora se encuentra en “modo de mantenimiento”, lo que significa que no recibirá nuevas características, y si bien es cierto que...
Album#30 幻 图1 《幻》专辑封面 专辑信息 专辑名称：幻 歌手：苏运莹 年份：2018-12-13 风格：流行 时长：约 50 分钟 每日分享里听到「在这里请你随意」，喜欢这首歌的旋律、节奏和声音，这首歌的风格会让我想到类似陳嫺靜、张醒婵这样的歌手，但我绝对不会想到是 苏运莹。 苏运莹应该出道很久了，她的歌我听的不多，没想到她还有一张这么有趣的专辑，还是 2018 年的。 「幻」这张专辑蛮有趣的，从专辑的歌名看，它是有设计的，从「它是一个序 早安版本」开始到「它是一个序 晚安版本」结束，中间则是一系列的生活故事。相比只是堆砌几首歌的专辑，我会更喜欢这种歌曲之间有一些关联的专辑。...
Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain, runs as a systemd process. When I want to update the software, I deploy the new code to the server and then restart the systemd process. This has a significant downside: while the Artemis process is restarting, the software is unavailable to users. During this period – which...
If you look through enough of my posts, you can probably figure out that english is not my primary language. I specifically don't have any spellchecker when I write these posts, so often a bunch of typos slip in. I however, don't care. I skim through my posts before posting them, and if I see something that is...
You may or may not remember a couple posts ago when I (1) thought this list of ways to resist authoritarianism was just how people lived: ICYDAK: 30 Proven Tactics to Resist Authoritarianism in Daily Life and (2) then had the cringe-inducing "revelation" that actually, no, what I think of as "default" is actually no...

The first month of 2026 is in the books. With January 2026 completed, it is time to review the month that was in a tradition which goes all the way back to August 2020.

Executive Summary Project Vault is a $12 billion strategic reserve of critical minerals announced February 2, 2026.

And another lucky find. This book has been laying in The Office for years, as the guy who bought it left a long time ago. It was just there, on a random desk, and no one was interested. So, Stallman, eh? We all know him. FOSS, a bit of a creep, eating food from his beard. This book does not change any of that, but...

The first Bandcamp Friday purchase of 2026 is a nod to the random happenstances that are music recommendations and my eclectic taste in music.

"Mascare" (Masks) from the Gli abiti de veneziani (1754) by Giovanni Grevembroch, translated by René Seindal.
I saw a link to a 1Password report about totally shocking and unofreseeable vulnerabilities involving OpenClaw. I recently discussed how they started a so-called AI social network to distract from the previous round of bad publicity (which unsurprisingly had its own security problems). What is next? I’ll throw my...
I have a folder of quotes I've collected over the years. This morning, while reading through a few, one stopped me: Instead of constantly hunting for blog topics and maintaining a never-ending list of ideas, I'm trying a new approach. Rather than forcing ideas, I'm focusing on writing only about things that...
ObiWanStenobit January 2026 Just before the Christmas holidays, I was contacted by Emily from PCBWay. Since she liked the Neopad and the LATE-9 projects, she wanted to sponsor me by producing a batch of PCBs for these macropads for free!

It is slowly told and a bit sluggish in the middle. There are occasionally uncomfortable passages to read because they aren’t properly reflected upon at the time. The ending is beautiful and emotional. But, as you read, you often wonder why. Yet people like that existed and were considered normal for the time.
Nolto appears to be styling itself as an alternative service to LinkedIn, but connected to the fediverse.
