In the last couple of months, we have seen plenty of rants, reports, analysis, and other exposés about the state of Apple software, whether it is about their bad icon design, bad icon implementation, neglect, more neglect, and plain...

I wondered if it would snow again this season. The weather has been persistently cloudy, but there has been little snow. Today, the weather changed. Just as I was about to go out for a walk, it started snowing heavily. It has been months...

The other day, someone told me that “Discord is a good product”. And I’m grateful for that phrasing because it helps me explain why I’m having such a cow about Discord. Because it’s not a good product. The worst part about it is how...
Man I want to write some dang blog posts. A lot has happened since my last one! But I just haven’t made the time. Here’s some of the stuff I’d love to write more words about: After seeing it mentioned in another blog, I tried Tot for...

Two days ago I'm digging around in Lightroom looking for a good nighttime city photo to use on the main page of my other website. After finding one I went to crop the photo, when I turned to Christina and asked for her input. I told her...
It’s 2026. Blogging to my static website from a laptop, with vim and markdown, with hugo build and git commit / git push is old-school. I can instead create blog posts via the Claude Code app. It already has access to my git repository....

On WritingIn August 2025, I decided to read for at least two hours per day. Surprisingly enough, I have maintained that habit. Now, I intend to do the same with writing.
This has been going around lately: The usual response is That’s so depressing! But I dunno — I think most devoted (obsessive?) readers understand that the world doesn’t value books the way we value books. It’s nice when someone’s...

Not to get all hipster but I got into Charli XCX from being very tumblr online when she released True Romance. Her new album is the soundtrack from Emerald Fennell's "Wuthering Heights" which feels like a flex but one I'm here for! Album...
