“We are never simply seeing what’s ‘really there,’ stripped bare of our own anticipations or insulated from our own past experiences. Instead, all human experience is part phantom — the product of deep-set predictions.” Attention is less a lens on the world than a mirror for the mind. “My experience is what I agree...
Anyone using old computers for graphics remembers the strangeness of “flood fill”: The 1950s and 1960s computers were so sluggish that their consoles with blinking lights were not just for show; the operations were slow enough that you could still follow the lights in real time. This ceased to be true soon...

Entrance to the Tamanoyu sento (public bath) in central Kyoto, opened in 1894. Their mostly older customers' bicycles are parked symmetrically alongside the entrance. 明治27年にオープンした京都中京区にある銭湯「玉の湯」の入り口。主に年配のお客さんの自転車が入口に左右対称に停まっている。
Even though I've got a lot of zine ideas cooking1, I've been working on one about my favourite foods. It's going to be called, "foods I could eat my body weight in". Doing the illustrations for the foods has been a great for easing myself back into drawing. Corned beef with cabbage & rice is one of my favourite...
I subscribe to various Brooklyn-New York City related feeds in my feed collection. On April 17, 2026, one of those feeds included an article by Karina Gerry for New York News 12 titled Free ‘stick library’ pops up in Brooklyn Heights for dog owners. I did not need to open the article to know what it is about, for I...

After Chief Inspector Heat had left him Mr. Verloc moved about the parlour. From time to time he eyed his wife through the open door. “She knows all about it now,” he thought to himself with commiseration for her sorrow and with some satisfaction as regarded himself. Mr. Verloc’s soul, if lacking greatness perhaps,...
Like many millenials, I played a good amount of The Sims as a kid. However, I didn’t really play it for the telling-people-what-to-do part … I was in it for the setup. I still remember my favorite house: it was all propped up on the second story over a pool the size of the lot, and the only way to get inside was to...
Read on the website: Atlas Engineer was a perfect Open Source Lispy team to work in. I was not the best teammate, though. Here’s how it worked in Atlas and what I’m worried about lately.
Q is for Quiet One thing I miss growing up, was visiting my grandparents long gone house. It was in Northern California, pretty far from the interstate and even far far, at least in memory from much light. I remember summers visiting that were so quiet and so peaceful with light pollution being at a minimum. I miss it.
Fair is fair, as much as I hate Quaritch and Quariitch in equal measure, the look on the latter’s big blue punim when he touched the arrows sticking out of his dead clone-dad’s skeleton-bones was an incredible moment on every artistic level1 and was the most character development any version of this guy has shown so...
Notes on Go's newly accepted uuid proposal and the tradeoffs behind the API.
2026-04-18Hello! This busy week still hasn't ended yet; I've still got a few more events to get through.I love this photo for so many reasons. First, the silly reasons: the photo hides a lot that you don't see. I've done a pretty good job at keeping my face off this website for now, so you don't see just how sweaty...
I started using Devin for Code Reviews. I must say that it’s pretty good. I develop using Claude Code. It pushes changes, Devin reviews. Then I hook Claude Code to address the comments automatically (there is a checkbox in the Claude Desktop app). Devin and Claude fight it until all comments are addressed. Pretty...
A story of how a team used “The Wall of Shame” to turn a bottlenecked PR review process into an engaging game.
April 2026. Waterbeach. A week ago we were on our way down south for our last overnight stay in Mum and Dad’s Waterbeach cottage; a year’s stay without a TV and internet, a month sleeping on a mattress on the ground. A mattress covered in crispy beef and Singapore rice that last night before we took it to the tip...
Decades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring. Excellent sequel to the first masterpiece, expanding a lot on the Alien lore, and packaging it all on an action sci-fi movie, which...
I started using launchers shortly after returning to the Mac (from Linux) in 2005. The first one I used was the great Quicksilver. I’m sure I learned about it from Merlin Mann, who was Quicksilver’s biggest advocate, but I can’t point to which of his many posts on QS got me started. When Nicholas Jitkoff (Alcor)...
After the (quite terrible) Black Tulip I was ready for more Dumas. Therefore: Three Musketeers. It's (as I've been told) more accessible than Count de Monte Christo . As a bonus: I've seen the movies a few decades ago, but I don't remember what they were all about. Another bonus: I'm showing Dogtanian to The Kid, so...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Ups and downs and ups and downs. I’ve had plenty of sicknesses and such throughout life that have caused significant downtime, misery, hospitalization, immobility etc - but what’s driving me fucking batshit bonkers about this long covid is how I’ll...
Lone Tree, Oklahoma - iPhone 12 Pro I have always dreamed of being a writer and photographer for National Geographic, or maybe Arizona Highways. I am captivated by the imagery in both publications. Good photographs tell a story, making the written word secondary, if necessary at all. Photography can be an expensive...
Do intelligent people hold a position of power over less intelligent ones? What is the role of intelligence in class? How does intelligence relate to capitalism? Is praising intelligence ableism?
Rip Van Winkle woke to a village that had simply moved on; a returning citizen wakes to a system that refuses to forget. TWENTY YEARS AWAY is a narrative engine that maps long-term displacement, from Kaatskill folklore to the modern carceral state.
Much to my own disappointment, I'm not a journal-in-a-notebook-with-a-fountain-pen kind of guy There’s something aesthetically appealing about notebooks and fountain pens. I love the feeling of resting my hands on real paper, of my pen effortlessly gliding over it. The paper in my notebooks is great for the ink I’m...

Last edited 43 minutes ago. Hey folks. Haven't been around for a while now. Wanted to drop by and say a quick hello, that I'm still alive. I'm afraid my last post was a bit on the dramatic side, and since then I've been meaning to write a bunch here to bury that, but alas. That didn't happen. Ever since I got back...

"Lazzaretto Vecchio" from the "Venetia, citta nobilissima et singolare" (1581) by Francesco Sansovino, translated by René Seindal.
A forgotten artI had to spend the day without any podcasts playing in my ears. I had simply exhausted my playlist. I cleaned the house, went out to get groceries, cooked, and washed the dishes without my headphones on. This is the first time in a long while this has happened to me. It's a strange feeling to spend an...

For the past month or two I’ve been experimenting with building personal, self hosted software in Rust. The apps include anything from simple note taking, a wine tracker, image resizing, even a full blown RSS aggregator to replace FreshRSS. I’m not going to go into too much detail around the apps themselves, you can...
This is a bad post title. I didn’t pick today’s links out of a hat! What I mean is, here are some ways you can find a random site on the World Wide Web. There used to be a bit of magic to just surfing to some site you’d never seen before. Maybe there can be still. All of these sources are curated to some degree; we...
Qué onda, oigan… les quiero contar algo. Vengo llegando a la casa, venía de la calle, y pasé por un lugar donde antes iba a cortarme el cabello. Y me acordé de una vez en particular. El corte normal… hasta que dejó de serlo Una de esas veces fui como siempre: entré al local, todo normal, me atendieron, me sentaron y...
