My brother’s backyard has a small strip of dirt that is a hotbed of tectonic and geothermal activity. It is prone to severe weather events (dust storms), explosions, mudslides and the occasional meteor strike. Earthquakes, geyser and...
云游戏发展得非常快。Reddit 上哪怕只是 7 个月前的讨论，放到今天参考价值都已经有限了。 在用过 NVIDIA GeForce NOW 后，我对云游戏重拾信心，又尝试了一款欧美比较主流的云游戏平台 Shadow。 这两项服务经常被放在一起比较，但严格来说，它们并不属于同一类产品。 Shadow 主打的是一整套 Windows...

My personal realmlet just got renovated! Although it still keeps a similar theme and responsive design as the previous one, it now uses a single-column layout. Before: A two-column layout with a navigational sidebar on the left and main...
reactormag.com The Flood was originally in development at Netflix, but in November, The Wrap reported https://www.thewrap.com/zach-cregger-sci-fi-movie-the-flood- netflix- theatrical/ that development there had come to a halt when...
In the previous installment of Tomi Adeyemi's West African inspired magical high fantasy, the story ended with a cliff-hanger that cut short a rolling boil. The last book in the trilogy wraps everything up neatly while adding more...
Un papa un peu idiot démontre qu'un ordinateur, c'est con comme un manche.
March’s TBR Challenge theme was ‘tropestastic!’, and in genre romance, there’s a long and storied tradition for the one night stand. (Never mind that that’s not quite how it happens here) Either way, while this book has only been on my...
Over the past month, I've looked at quite a lot of blogs. Each one is a bit different. Of course, the design and the contents differ, but what I'm most interested in is the structure. Most follow the "time stream" format, with the posts...
Dado que aprovechar la inteligencia artificial para tareas sencillas es imposible sin una supercomputadora (o muchas supercomputadoras), volvemos a los orígenes con un nuevo plan de mejora para las VPS. Contamos con WireGuard, lo hemos...
A few weeks ago I went up to see that MAGA friend.🙄 I had written about her in the past, but after an unrelated post brought in some unexpected traffic, I unpublished that post about her since it suddenly felt too personal. Long story...
Anyone who knows even a little bit about bird-life knows that there is a kind of understanding between wild geese and tame geese, regardless of how different they are. When the flight of the wild geese is heard in the air and there are...
P is for Page While writing online has its function. Its endless virtual space that can be thought of as pages. They aren’t in fact real pages. At least in the physical state, it is in fact a facsimile. Which had me in thought today,...
Over the winter I was super into Palm Pilots, I even picked up a few new ones and swapped the batteries. My current collection includes a Tungsten E, Tungsten T3, Tungsten C and a Handspring Visor. I was daily driving the C for quite...
Came across a site called DI.Day. It’s currently only available in Deutsch, with English possibly coming soon. It purposes that every first Sunday of the month is “Digital Independence Day”, where people are encouraged to break free from...

The Assistant Commissioner, driven rapidly in a hansom from the neighbourhood of Soho in the direction of Westminster, got out at the very centre of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Some stalwart constables, who did not seem...
I've found that some of my most productive writing is done in heightened emotional states, and that's scary to consider. Today feels calm, and it feels like it's going to be a decent enough day. So I ask myself, "where's the pursuit?"...
Following on from yesterday's experiment with webp I got to thinking that it might be handy to add a wee command to blogmore.el that can quickly swap an image's extension from whatever it is to webp. So v4.1 has happened. The new command...
As I regularly point out on this blog: if you look for it, ambiguity is everywhere; almost any expression can be understood in multiple ways, especially if you’re willing to entertain preposterous or unlikely ideas. So if you had a...
Now, April 2026: everything tends to happen at once Why is it, that everything tends to happen all at once? I had the feeling that the past few weeks have been either very quiet, or too busy—like an on/off switch. This may not be...
2026-04-17Limited permission was granted to use photos taken for these events on this site.Hello! I'm realizing that so many things I use are coded with artificial intelligence. Especially with Anthropic's Claude, which was caught...
These days, I am preoccupied with: 1) painting every day for plein airpril; 2) uh, that’s kind of it, actually, I thought there would be more to this list. PleinAirpril This is my third year of participating in PleinAirpril! It’s an art...
Quoted S04.E07 – Victor Watches Jack White Hit the Eject Button by Charles Zona with Victor V. Gurbo (Seeing Them Live With Charles Zona) And I don't play things the way that they are written to which I go back to a Dylan quote where he...
The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) has announced its 2026 class of fellows, and two philosophers are among them. They are: Corey Barnes (Northwestern University) for his project, “Race’s Shadowy Subjects: Conceptions of...
When is AI image slop ok? By Gordon Mclean Gordon stumbled across a post arguing that AI-generated featured images signals laziness, even if every word you write is your own, and it made him stop and think about his own blog. Read post ➡...
This is my entry to this month Bearblog Carnival :) I love this topic, and I've been reading the posts regularly because I enjoy discovering random facts and curiosities. I've discovered very cool animals thanks to everyone entries! At...
It feels like a long, tiring week because it’s been a busy one, or most probably because of getting back to regular life after vacation, or because Bengaluru has been hot this week. Anyway, its been a busy and hectic week. What better to...
Since I started going to therapy (and probably even before then, but not consciously), I have been using a very effective metaphor to describe the recurrent, uncontrollable, and sudden change in perspective in my life. Sometimes, briefly...

This post was brought to you, unintentionally, by the number eleven. It has been seven years since I wrote about chasing my parkrun Nearest Event Not Done Yet (NENDY) and yet it is still something that I really enjoy about experiencing...
Hiked part 14/25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 17.8 kilometres from Kootwijk to Hoenderloo. This stage takes you through the heart of the Veluwe, straight through beautiful heathlands and sand drifts such as the Hoog Buurlosche Heide and...
A quick tour of Go struct tags: how different libraries use them, how you read them at runtime with reflection, and how other tools read them at build time instead.
Esse é o jogo de mais sentimentos conflitantes que eu joguei nos últimos anos. Por um lado o jogo é lindo, a qualidade dos cenários, personagens, monstros e cidades são muito muito bonitos. Por outro, tudo que eu não citei aqui faz com...
Oddly – deplorably? somethingly? – my recently acquired anthology of 101 very short poems, Short and Sweet, doesn't include anything by Walter de la Mare. This is a pity, as some of his shortest poems are among his best. I posted a...
“We must live it, now, a day at a time and be very careful not to hurt each other.” Along the spectrum of losses, from the door keys to the love of one’s life, none is more unimaginable, more incomprehensible in its unnatural violation...
Hay algo que me trae de cabeza, y es lo asépticos (gracias a Nacho por recordarme esta palabra) que son los edificios que se construyen ahora. Sea para oficinas, como viviendas, como residencias. Se hace todo sin gracia ni carácter. No...
April 2026. Sheffield. A Saturday in Sheffield before, we hoped, a last hurrah cleaning the old house in Waterbeach. I did a walk out over the hills to the Botanical Gardens, where I brought Dad 5 years ago on his only visit to...
I. The Day The Bubbles Popped A year and more done passed since last I cracked a Diet Coke, and the time has now come to shuck my damn corncob free of the Dr. Pepper that took its place as if it were a different Doctor altogether,...
This morning I woke up with no power in the truck. The fridge was off and I had no heat to wake up to so that I could get dressed in comfort. It sucks! The power unit I have is an ETaker M2000, but at this point it’s pretty much unusable...
Hay cosas en la vida que no eliges y algunas de ellas simplemente te encuentran. Para mí, la música fue una de ellas. Todavía me acuerdo del momento en el que algo hizo clic en mí. MTV, Fuse, videos que salían a altas horas de la noche,...
Se pare că avem câțiva români care au pus mâna pe treabă și lucrează la propriile distribuții Linux, ceea ce este un lucru cu adevărat îmbucurător. Nu este ușor să construiești o distribuție de la zero sau chiar pornind de la una deja...
I’ve talked far too much about AI and how the world is going to shit on my blog over the last week and a bit. Let’s have a blog cleanse. I mentioned this on my Now page, but over the Easter weekend I treated my mum for a big birthday to...
Let's try something new - quarterly update. I found great joy from reading ones from マリウス , so why not? I don't want it to be a week-note type of list, as prose is from humans and lists are from machines. I want such updates (name may be...
Life has been more argument and issues lately. The Khmer new year was not a thing I enjoyed. The three days each seemed to have a challenge or problem. Yesterday I ended up sitting at home most of the day. I had hoped we would go out...
These are my notes from the first few chapters of Refactoring Databases by Scott Ambler and Pramod Sadalage. The book was published in 2006 and its examples are a bit outdated, but the underlying ideas translate well to modern Rails...
It’s a weird state to be in with my work feeling like a vocation. I love doing it, I love making progress on Pika, and I’m super grateful to be in this position. Yet there are some things I enjoy in life that I can’t seem to find time to...
