Por fin jueves, ha sido una semana cargada de jale pero también se vale despejarnos. Ahora quiero compartir una lista de datos curiosos sobre mí, creo que nunca he hecho esto antes, pero la intención es compartir este post y que ustedes...
I don't know about you, but I'm at the point which I seem to reach every year around the middle of February, where I'm just done with winter. It was grey and dark and snowing all day yesterday, and today it's freezing cold and I'm just...
"In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi centers on the acceptance of transience and imperfection." – Wikipedia It feels especially relevant now in AI-slop days, but I guess that knife could cut both ways. What I take out of it is...
Every old Christian person I know (which is basically my entire family) thinks it's the end of the world. They're convinced that we're living in "perilous" times and that it's a wrap. Get ready. Christ is coming! (Although they say this...
I started a new project last night. I plan on releasing it later today. My life has been a series of these vignettes since I started Cogito. I feel myself continuing to refine the process here. There's more consideration for coherence...
I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in daily posts. Hope you enjoy! More of them in the archive. AsteroidOS 2. There is a Linux-based operating system for smartwatches. And the second version has...
There is no best Linux. But there are reasons to switch to a different operating system. Linux is not an alternative operating system, it is a different operating system. And users can do everything with it. Everything that can be done...
In the spirit of not letting the proverbial wine linger too long in the cellar, I've been using these pinback stamps. ⊕Currently Listening: They Might Be Giants “Stuff Is Way”Reply via email
"Mascara" (Mask) from the Gli abiti de veneziani (1754) by Giovanni Grevembroch, translated by René Seindal.
Our travellers spent the first day very agreeably. They were delighted with possessing more treasure than all Asia, Europe, and Africa could scrape together. Candide, in his raptures, cut Cunégonde’s name on the trees. The second day two...
February 2026. Stockport. Hah ! Clickbait. Not a new local for me, though Mrs RM is already tired of Sheffield as our house has a garden that she now regrets buying. Why can’t you make an increased offer to buy a property without a...
I had the oddest phone-call tonight. Firstly, let me set the scene. I'm away from home at a conference related to work. I spent seven hours travelling the length of Scotland last night. The conference is also in the hotel I'm staying in....
Veamos en este tutorial cómo instalar una versión anterior de un paquete de software en openSUSE Tumbleweed Después de una actualización normal de openSUSE Tumbleweed, al reiniciar el sistema para que se tomaran en cuenta las...
I’ve been using Google’s Call Screening feature for a while now. I turned it on mostly to filter out calls from numbers I don’t recognise (I’ve signed up with TPS and reported numbers to the ICO, and neither has made much difference),...
Mood: Tired. Ranty. In need of a hunk of a man to bake me cookies so I can stress eat. There is a specific, suffocating hell to a conversation with a leftist who has decided that voting is a moral failing. It feels like trying to explain...
As we go into another year, I have paired down even further as to what is allowed on my mobile device. You can see my previous posts about smartphones here, here and here. I am running a Samsung s24 - with ADB you can disable much of the...
I read a January 27, 2026 article on Time Extension, a video game website focused primarily on retro games and emulation, titled Apparently, The PSP Counts As A Failure To Some People Now, with “PSP” referring to Sony’s erstwhile...
My favorite place in the city of Geneva is the main train station of Cornavin, because I can quickly jump on a train and leave that shithole of a city behind me as fast as possible. To a large degree, and I don’t chew my words, Geneva is...
Questo mese mi sono dato prevalentemente a riascolti di classici e sono rimasto completamente galvanizzato da un singolo disco, quindi per una volta è inutile perdersi in listoni
Khaire, Oh, our beloved Hermes Mechaniotes! Your cunning is known to all Gods and mortals, Brilliance and confidence radiates from you. Just how skillfully you stole Apollon's cows And deceived the shining God with ease. Oh, Clepsiphron,...
How the actions of the ruling clan in Kanazawa centuries ago lead to it surviving WWII.
This essay is adapted from Traversal. We look at a thing — a bird, a ball, a planet — and perceive it to be a certain color. But what we are really seeing is the color that does not inhere in it—the portion of the spectrum it shirks, the...
Echo passed away last night. We gave her the best life we could, and she has been my Grandmother's shadow for the last 16 years. As I type these words my eyes well up in tears. How lucky we all were to have been around the same time as...

I went to the temple today. I'm trying to go at least once a week during lent. In the LDS faith, the temple is a separate experience from Sunday meetings at your local church building. It was peaceful and reverent, but I didn't get any...
I recently added Poda on Facebook. He's the guy who booked POPIK's gig in Novi Sad back in April 2017, and we lost touch after that. I didn't know his full name, so when he popped up in suggestions, I just hit add. This morning,...
Today was Tank Cleaning Day, which, in human terms, is roughly equivalent to winning the spa lottery while also getting a home renovation. Most fish would panic. Brian? He did three victory laps around his castle and practiced his ‘I’m...
Why read the book? Allie Beth Stuckey wrote You're Not Enough (And That's Okay). She calls the book an escape from the toxic culture of self-love. Stuckey says modern ideas tell us we are enough on our own. She says this leads to...

I think Jonathan Snook summarized it perfectly when he made Organize around passions, not destinations one of his travel tips. One of my passions is cooking and I try to take a cooking class wherever I go, preferably in a home or small...
It is I, the workspace. Featured my mini pc and portable monitor, Switch playing some bkg music, Boox Palma as my clock and paper planner on the side. Got to my auntie's on Monday, and finally finished setting up my workspace here. I'll...
I spent years building for other people. Then I realized I wanted no part of it. When you publish on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Medium, you're stuck in their world. Their platforms. More problematically, platforms optimize for...
They kiss, and for the first time in forever, Annika allows herself to hope. The prince has slain the witch responsible for her misery, saving her from a cruel fate. All that remains is to break the curse with true love’s kiss. But when...
Moving to a small town in Northern Jutland means moving far away from all airplane photography opportunities I enjoyed in Germany. So I'll be getting my daily dose of aviation from other sources, such as YouTube live streams from my...
Days without turning off site blockers: 3 I'm a little under the weather, but I pulled through, and I finished my mitts!
KDE Plasma 6.6 was released yesterday, and since I’m an Arch Linux user (btw), I already have it installed. I use sway on the desktop, primarily because it handles multi-monitor setups so well, and KDE Plasma does not. One of the major...
Hey all, I hope you're doing well. I'm going to be on medical leave until early April. If you are a sponsor, then you can join the Discord for me to post occasional updates in real time. I'm gonna be in the hospital for at least a week...
Hi Jo! I’m so happy I came across your site once again (because I lost it in my ♾️ opened tabs + windows). I came across your Instagram export page initially; it’s nicely executed (I hope to have something like that one day on my site)....
La Edad de las Redes Sociales, el momento que estamos viviendo, en el que unos algoritmos, alimentados por nosotros mismos, nos roban toda nuestra atención. Está claro que la polémica ha surgido después del anuncio, por parte del...
The song cover I was working on finally went up, and I feel...bad? I mean, I'm proud of myself for finishing it! I'm proud of myself for doing it all on my own when I'm used to working in a group! I'm glad to know I can do things like...
The yellow bar appeared in the corner of my wall-screen three days before midnight. Just a thin line at first, easy to ignore while I was trimming the hydroponic lettuce in Unit 47-C, my fingers slick with nutrient solution, the chemical...
Jo and I are trading blog post titles. The title Jo chose for me is “A perfect day.”What would my perfect day look like? Reflecting on this question, I started to think about the days that have brought me the most joy in the past. I...
A note from my recent stay in Stanford Hospital: into the emergency room on Friday 1/30 in the afternoon, returning home late in the afternoon on Thursday 2/5. Not about the afflictions that brought me there, but about an odd experience...

Philosophy is a “fact-based discipline” that makes progress, says Bryan Frances, and to prove it he offers up “200 straightforward facts directly about philosophical matters that virtually all philosophers know and non-philosophers don’t...
What’s the point of writing on a blog that few people (or no one) reads? The eternal question. The question Brittany asked in her post. A question that, despite our best efforts as a blogging community, we haven’t managed to answer...

The other day I went to the hairdresser to get my hair back in shape. After the man asked me if I wanted anything to drink (no, I just want you to cut my hair), he began his job. As you do when you're just sitting there with nowhere to...
This is the second vomit post, and the proper first one. The previous one was more about setting up the rules and laying out the plans for the series. However, it is supposed to be the third post since it's the third day of the series,...

I’ve certainly said it before: I haven’t slept well for years. I believe it’s been five or six or seven years, but it’s all blurry now to the point that I could also be convinced my poor sleep has existed for all the years. My cycle in...
I've seen the handful of other posts over the years about Eboshi and all the other Ghibli characters being neither good or evil. I mean, that's what makes a good character, right? You don't want the hero to be good to a fault or else...
