I wonder what the proprietor of the Speedway Livery & Boarding Stables would have thought about his handsome brick building transforming from a home for pricey horses to a pricey home for people? This four-story, Romanesque-style stable at 457 West 150th Street was no ordinary boarding place for teams of working...

Did you know that Jesus gave advice about prototyping with an LLM? Hereâs Luke 14:28-30: Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Wonât you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will...
While I have been doing a lot of hacking on blogmore.el, I haven't forgotten my plan to revisit and refresh some of my older personal packages. This evening I've paid some attention to expando.el. This started life a long time ago, as part of my grab-bag of handy functions that got carried around and copied from...
Nilay Patel, writing for The Verge: After a long series of mergers and spinouts and an extremely odd moment where it was part of Verizon, Yahoo is once again an independent, privately held company. And it has big properties in sports and finance, and, against all odds, email, where itâs growing with young people....
Brave rabbit cop Judy Hopps and her friend, the fox Nick Wilde, team up again to crack a new case, the most perilous and intricate of their careers. Good fun for the kids, social commentary in a cute package for the grown ups. Strong follow-up to the 2016 phenomenon, proving that Disney can still make proper...
In my last post I talked about losing photos and the false sense of security that comes from having "a backup." But even if you have copies everywhere there's a quieter problem that nobody warns you about. Your files are degrading right now and you probably don't know it.Bit rot is realEvery file on every storage...
We are lucky that the weather right now is really beautiful. This made getting up early and walking our dog Naida even more enjoyable. Now itâs a little after 7 in the morning. I havenât yet been on my phone but instead have been out in nature for 30 minutes, have already walked 2.5k steps, got to experience the...
E is for Events I wanted to write a small bit about Events, mainly the ones we choose to celebrate and ones we choose ignore. This is a little personal, so if you want to skip to another article, id go to that now. My old man hates his birthday. Or at least ive never known him to enjoy it. Same with Christmas and...
March 2026. Chesterton. Back down in Waterbeach, where Dad was looking better groomed than myself, and then a catch-up with Dortmund Annie to discuss âstuffâ at the Haymakers. A possible answer to a quiz question, Milton (via Waterbeach) Breweryâs flagship is the only pub in Cambidge High Street, which is actually...

Eryn and I are watching Artemis â

Used the free days to go to two museums; ended up visiting an exhibition about work culture, about the oceans, and about sex work. All museum texts include an English portion, so don't get discouraged when you spot German words; feel free to look for the translation if you do not understand the German portion :)...
The great paradox, the great pain of human relationships is that they are so often not relational: two lonelinesses colliding without real contact, one or both orienting to the other not as a person but as a projection, mistaking for intimacy its myriad illusions â admiration, adoration, desire. It is always...
Iâve had a particularly lucky break in my professional life, and Iâm going to be starting a brand new position with a new-to-me company in a few days. One of the practical upshots of this, though, is that itâs suddenly practical to pursue finishing PETI again. I know I said that I wouldnât completely abandon the...
nytimes.comThe Bulls had made the playoffs just once since the two men took over the front office in 2020.Even though the Bulls have been stuck in purgatory since this leadership team joined, I honestly didn't see this coming. The roster at the current moment in time is probably the worst it's been in a decadeâwhich...
Times have changed since we were last here. Since then, SSH signing has become popular1, I got some FIDO2 security keys, and post-quantum cryptography has gotten a lot better. It's time for some renovations! SSH authentication We want to prevent connecting to hosts without PQC. To do so, we can simply add the...
2026-04-06Hello! This is from the backyard of my home, where I'm planting wildflowers and watching tulips bloom from the bulbs I placed last summer. It's a beautiful time of year.No backyard is complete without a bird feeder, so I looked online for reviews and found this one that seems easy enough to clean. With a...
Ferocious, hissing and spitting, and yet utterly defenseless unless I run away. All talk, nothing to show for it. Often I finish fights in my head hours after the fact. Sometimes I bite once and regret it forever. Because I'm supposed to be an angel, right? I should be nice; I should be good. Women are supposed to...
It wasnât planned that she would walk all the way. I was ready to carry her at least three-fourths of the way. I would have been more than happy if she had walked a kilometer. But it so happened that she walked all the way, surprising us. The platypus track is the smallest one at Bidjigal Reserve. We chose it so Uma...
I've been building an API recently with a stack that I think hits a sweet spot of just enough structure to keep a team productive, not so much that you're fighting the tools. The stack is Huma for the HTTP layer, sqlc for database queries, and Goose for migrations. Each tool does one thing well and stays out of your...
I realised I had tabs open on my laptop. My Gripes With The Artistâs way by Andromeda Zines. Iâm hardly the first person to point out some of these issues but I wanted to throw my hat into the ring regardless. In a world that pushes self-improvement as a cure for larger societal issues we should be critical of...

WritingLast week Iâve written more than usual because Hyde has invited me to his long-standing interview series called Over/Under. Iâm really honoured to be the 60th entry! Read it on Hydeâs blog and definitely check out the other entries while youâre there. The interview consists of an assortment of topics chosen...
Now that Iâm writing for The Dispatch, Iâm re-acquainting myself with what itâs like to have comments on my posts. I learned the Iron Laws of the Comments Section many years ago, and only need to refresh myself. In a general-interest publication â as opposed to a personal blog, where people behave somewhat...

How I stopped caring whether or not people would call me an old fart so I could keep ranting.
I hope you had a good Easter weekend, mine was very relaxed indeed. Today a (very) short little âhikeâ with the family, a bit of picnic, an early return home and a long nap with wide open windows with the birds singing, I canât complain.(Yes, technically today is Monday and already the week of the next weeknotes,...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Oy oy oy. Each day I think I'm better; I wake up, get dressed, do morning stuff and then by like 3-4 my body collapses and I get short of breath. Covid's got hands. Sat 04/04/2026 - Lombre I'm laughing that one of the first pokemon I got for the...
You can evaluate how much a specific goal or value matters to you by looking at the sacrifices you are willing to make to achieve it. But I don't mean every kind of sacrifice. There are sacrifices that are easy to make. There is not much discomfort in enduring them at the moment but they can harm you in the long...
Recently I fell into the Instagram Reels trap where unknown artists play a snippet of their music and then offer one of their CDs for free. You only pay for shipping. Until now I had ignored these videos, but after seeing the same artists pop up again and again (some of them multiple times) I finally gave in to the...
A roundup of auditions, recalls, and booked jobs from March 2026. Published by AHE. on 7th April 2026 Auditions - 2 of those auditions Ads - 2 (self-tapes) March was another slow one, but again I find myself okay with that. Perhaps this is a conversation I should be having with my rep, but on the whole I find myself...
I love a good podcast. Especially at night when I am in bed. Forty minutes on a good topic and I will nod off to sleep half way. If I wake up through the night I tune into the second half. But here is what's starting to get on my paps! The Spoken WordThe word Podcast is a mashup (a Portmanteau if we are being...

Quoted March 2026 at The New Leaf Journal by Nicholas A. Ferrell (The New Leaf Journal) Three 2021 articles posted their best-ever months in terms of rank and page visits in March 2026. How the Forget-Me-Not Flower Found Its Name tied its best-ever month ranking of fourth but easily posted its best-ever months in...
Early this morning, Sharif University of Technology, Iranâs leading technical university, was bombed. As of the writing of this post, it was unclear whether the bombing was carried out by the United States or Israel or both. Neither has claimed responsibility for the attack on the university, according to The New...
I'm "apart" of the communications team at my church, and during a one-on-one Zoom meeting with my boss (pastor's wife). She accidentally clicked on a tab showing ChatGPT's response to her asking to write an announcement for the death of this woman. The saddest part is, my church doesn't care about the ethics of...
CMake has a --debugger mode since 3.27 (July 2023), allowing software to manipulate it interactively through the Debugger Adaptor Protocol (DAP), an HTTP-like protocol passing JSON messages. Debugger front-ends can start, stop, step, breakpoint, query variables, etc. a live CMake. When I came across this mode, I...
I am back on my faking it until I make it mode in regards to dealing with the stresses in my life. Lying to yourself isn't good but we all do it all the fucking time. I've successfully faked myself into genuine happiness before, it requires a lot smiling and talking bright and cheerfully turning times when you would...

The 2016 launch of No Manâs Sky and the 2020 launch of Cyberpunk 2077 were catastrophes. No Manâs Sky fell so incredibly short of the promises the founder shared over the years â from smaller ones like rivers on the surface of planets, to huge ones like seeing other players â that some people felt it must have been...
Happy Easter to all of you! The week has come and gone in a flash, and a lot of things happened this time around, thanks to the few days off I got. We are even going to the Moon again. and honestly it feels amazing to do so. Hereâs a quick rundown through some important events and things of note! âïž My siblings came...
Previously. Software Engineers / Programmers and the like have had curated dotfiles for ages. These days (2025s), weâre evolving to times where it makes sense to curate collections of other utilities as well: prompts for LLMs commands / skills for LLMs miscellaneous utilities / tools pancake is my own little repo...
Part One: The Long Hall The tremor starts in my right thumb on the third hour. Iâm copying a land dispute from Henan â characters I donât read, just reproduce.

If you are coming here to read this post, you probably notice that CybersecKyle looks a little different now. Actually, a lot different. I finally launched a redesign that has been bouncing around in my head for a while, and I wanted to write a proper post about why I changed it, what changed, and what I was trying...

I use Goodreads to track the books I want to read. Right now, I have 265 on my list. This list grows substantially faster than I am able to read. The good news is that I will never run out of reading material. The bad news: I am never going to read everything on my perpetually growing list. We often think of clutter...
So yesterday I received an email from Admiral, our insurance provider, where we have a combined policy for both our cars and our home.

Are you ever surprised by something past-you did? I ask because this week NetGalley âremindedâ me that I had been approved for this ARC back in late 2020âa good four years after I had stopped reading the series (see footnote 1). My only explanation is that my brain was too preoccupied with both the COVID pandemic...
Dear reader,A few months ago in January, the FBI seized the phone, laptop, and smartwatch of a Washington Post reporter, Hannah Natanson. While the case was yet another demonstration of the U.S. administrationâs hostile attitude towards journalists, it was also interesting because Natanson had enabled Appleâs...
Last edited 6 minutes ago. CW: suicide.EDIT: My friend is fine. My friend who's in China sent me a few texts yesterday evening (my evening). She said she wasn't feeling very well. She said she felt miserable. She's been struggling a lot lately. I didn't respond. I've been having a hard time for the past two weeks...
Note: This is a submission for the Grizzly Gazette Carnival for April 2026 hosted by Sage. The topic for this month is "your favourite unconventional animal."
