AthleticIf these 23 old heads are having to gig for Uber and Amway at 80-years old, whatever pension they are getting from the NBA isn’t enough. Just give these guys $1k-a-month to help meet their basic needs, at least. The NBA just...
I recently read about the announcement of the generation 10 Pokémon entries, Winds and Waves. I have yet to actually play through Scarlet and Violet and have no current plans to buy a Switch 2, so I may not be the place to go for a...
If you read my last post then you have a pretty good idea how conflicted I feel about AI and how I’m trying to find balance within programming. In that search I think I found a path I’m going to take for now. My wife got me a Picocalc...
I found this old article about making wavy lines with CSS, and decided to play around with it! Here’s the final result: See the Pen Wavy diving board by Cassidy (@cassidoo) on CodePen. It’s not the most gorgeous art in the world, but it...
I recently stumbled on the notion of an idiot plot on Facebook — a cultural category I had surely encountered before but must have forgotten about. In any case, I now had Wikipedia’s explanation, along with a notable example, the plot of...
Days without turning off site blockers: 15 My first class had to do persuasive speeches, and so many people did social media and why it was bad for you. It was so heartwarming to see people actually recognize how terrible phones & social...
Dear Ciara, It’s fitting that our time at the Cutler house began with rain—heavy, pelting rain—and now ends with it. Outspread on the couch, I watch the droplets fall as the removal truck arrives. I think of my landlord upstairs,...
For the Bearblog Carnival of March, I wanna briefly add in my own favorite meme! Or at least, one of them. There are so many I could add... I'm choosing a specific YouTube video, a YouTube Poop. A YouTube Poop (or YTP, often shortened in...
I have nice mechanical keyboards. I’ve owned probably around ten of them. I’ve tried brown switches, blue switches, red switches, clear switches, and other switches than I can’t remember the name of. I have keyboards that can...
How a gap in quantum mechanics became a choice — and why the most ambitious answer is among the least seriously engaged “No elementary quantum phenomenon is a phenomenon until it is a registered phenomenon, brought to a close by an...
As I mentioned in my last couple posts, I recently got out of the hospital after a week-long stay. I survived the surgery, I survived the recovery, and now I'm home with some hard-won wisdom about what it's actually like to be stuck in a...
The Neo looks great! Amazing that you can buy a full-on Mac laptop for less than a late-model iPhone. I kind of wish I had a reason to buy one.
How I turned four years of incremental improvements into something focused and coherent.
I originally took a photo of this stone pillar in the bamboo grove, marking a "Historical Cultural Landscape Conservation District" in order to study what it says, but I like the calm atmosphere in this image, a place being preserved by...
(image courtesy of unkown, on pinterest) the question of "who am i, without my eating disorder?" is one that turns over and over within my head, like a slowly rotating spit over an ever-waning fire. a hearth whose very essence is...
Recently, I listened to this great interview with the creator of Claude Code, Boris Cherny: If you don’t know, Claude Code is currently widely considered the gold standard when it comes to agentic engineering. So his words carry a lot of...
“The Tim Ferriss Show” is one of the most popular podcasts in the world and follows a form of lengthy interviews with top performers from multiple areas, like business, tech, sport and finance. I don’t follow it religiously, but I...
Linda from Accounting was eaten an hour ago. My feelings are mixed. I’d been a little too open with her about my relationship issues and Linda is—sorry, was—always trying to be interesting to other people. So, on the one hand, the...
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. Google and Epic announce settlement to end app store antitrust case, Ars Technica. The 30% fee...
Depois de um tempo de estabilidade fui de novo arrebatado por um desânimo avassalador, do tipo que te amarra na cama sem precisar de algema. Sabia que isso ia acontecer uma hora ou outra, afinal o ioiô vai mas tem que voltar. Um pouco...
I've been thinking more about my position on tech privacy. My position is one that I haven't really seen anyone else articulate, and I think it would be valuable to share. I've read several sites and watched videos related to increasing...
This is an excerpt from my journal. A few people have sent me a message asking how I am doing given the crisis in the Middle East. Cyprus is providing strategic depth to the Western forces. The military bases of the United Kingdom in...
Bei jedem meiner bisherigen Besuche des Machwerkhauses bin ich auch durch das Naturfärbe-Atelier Cosmaki geschlendert; einerseits weil die ausgestellten Textil-Unikate Lust auf Neuentdeckung machen, andererseits weil Betreiber Simon so...
The smell of powder, of night, of crystalized darkness exploding with the press of the trigger. Of rent earth. Jol pivoted, spun. He was the wind, whirling, able to be as he pleased, anywhere he desired. His breath itself was the night...
I can only advise everyone in tech: Go to events, meetups, and webinars — talk to people, exchange ideas. We all face similar challenges. You don’t have to solve everything alone. And if an event turns out to be a dud? Well, so be it —...

It took a surprisingly long time, almost three years, but now it happened - the email address I have published here found it's way into the hands of spammers and now I get half a dozen spam mails every day. I guess it was bound to happen...
Terminé hace algunos días, MONTEVIDEO del admirable Vila-Matas. Necesité un tiempo para que la lectura decantara en mi. Me tomó más tiempo que los libros suyos que ya había leído. Entonces nuevamente se me instaló la pregunta, ya...
I first heard of the Expanded Universe some 30 years ago. I was an avid reader of a Polish computer magazine - Secret Service - which had a dedicated Star Wars column. And I played all of Jedi Knight games, I even own (of the worst) EU...
Found this old design of WOXY's top 100 bands from 2007 test printed on an old record and wanted to document it. ⊕ Currently Listening: Various Artists “2007 WOXY Modern Rock 500 (Spotify)”Reply via email
This essay and poem are part of the Universe in Verse book. Trees grant us some of the richest metaphors for our own lives — a polished lens on the quality of attention we pay the world. “The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop I'm sick! First cold / sinus thing of the year and it's KICKING MY ASS so I might be slow the next few days but here's my catch-up. May have to take some time off work,...
You might have noticed I've been thinking a lot about music lately. Taking a break from Twitch has allowed me to sort of “musically reset” as I have tried to focus on listening to music that elevates the soul and draws me closer to God....
I have a long history of adoring long books. When I first started reading, I quickly moved away from kids books to what I charmingly called “chapter books, mama”. I read my first Tom Clancy book in fourth grade. Why did I choose it?...

Trafalgar Square is a special place. The architecture and views are breathtaking. The National Gallery, the church of St. Martins in the Fields, Canada House, and more, all surround the Square. From the right place you can look down...
Once there was a mermaid called Amelia who could never be content in the sea, a mermaid who longed to know all the world and all its wonders, and so she came to live on land. Once there was a man called P. T. Barnum, a man who longed to...
When I hear people saying that the U.S. is not fighting a war against Iran I find myself remembering Rex Mottram and the priest charged with catechizing him: “Yesterday I asked him whether Our Lord had more than one nature. He said:...
Read on the its own page: We all love READMEs. We also love websites. Why not have both in one file?
With ads now showing up in ChatGPT, there is a worry that the answers will turn into sales jobs for the advertisers. That’s too obvious, and is unlikely to happen — at least in the short term. What is more likely is that the AI will try...
Caveat #1: I write this post with as much humility as I can possibly express. I am going to utilize an example from personal experience to make a point, not to put myself on a pedestal. I hope the reader will understand that I have a lot...

Who woke up one morning and decided that a login screen should be split? Having the username on one screen; submitting that; and then the password on the next is infuriating. I'd like to have a word with this person! #shorts

Wishes, wishes, wishes, thought Tiffany, distracted, fumbling in her pockets for the bits to make a shamble. It’s not evil. It gives us what we think we want! And what do people ask for? More wishes! You couldn’t say: A monster got into...
I love Bear Blog’s simplicity, but I missed having consistent feature images. So, I built this small browser tool(Bear-blog-Feature-image) to generate them in seconds. Try it: https://dayuguo.github.io/Bear-blog-Feature-image/ How it...
When I first got my Gamecube after graduating high school I bought a few fun games for it. Bloody Roar and Sonic Adventure 2. No actual Nintendo labels tho. Those cost $59.99. Being used to the way games typically worked, I expected the...
Things have been a bit busy yet again, and I’m just about recovering from a mild case of flu. It hasn’t been as bad as the truly bad ones I’ve had growing up. We flew to Kochi over the long weekend. It was a good excuse to fly via the...
February 2026. Charlton. Two South London pubs relatively close together, but with no great public transport option that I understood, so an athletic walk west from Plumstead to Charlton through some “unprepossessing” suburbia, where...
During most of the 1980s, I woke up every morning at 06:30. By then my mother was already awake, preparing breakfast and getting ready for work, usually starting her day half an hour earlier than me. I vividly remember that Sanyo (or was...
