Devin è tornato! E questa volta l'ho trovato meno overprodotto rispetto agli ultimi dischi (per fortuna!)
My verse(s) for today: For unto this, Christ died and lived again that He might rule over both the dead and living. Romans 14.9, Berean Literal Bible (2016). .1. The BLB, at least, a decade ago, translated this text literally, rendering the last verb as “rule.” The BibleHub site now shows it as having been changed....

I've been thinking about getting a #3DPrinter recently. Never used one before but I think it would be useful/interesting. I have no experience with them, and don't want to spend a tonne of money. Ease of use and quality would be my highest priorities I think. Any recommendations? Remember, I'm in the UK. 🇬🇧 Thanks...

Can you believe it’s Sunday already? It’s still nice and sunny but the weather forecast (and a look outside) tells me that this is going to be over soon. There was a lot of family this week – it would have been my grandmother’s 100th birthday, so my aunts and a whole bunch of cousins were in town for a remembrance...
🤷‍♂️ Life 100 Days starts now (well on Monday last week). I’ve set myself a small challenge, small in terms of effort that is. I need to do some form of movement every day for 100 days. Weekends are fine as chasing my son around, cutting grass, etc all count, but each morning this week […]Thanks for reading and...
Esta semana estuve viendo en el cine The Mandalorian and Grogu, la última película de Star Wars. Lejos queda ya El ascenso de Skywalker, en 2019. Por supuesto, como todo estreno Star Wars se ha generado cierta polémica, pero sinceramente, a aquellos que nos gustaba The Mandalorian, no nos ha decepcionado. The...

Qucocoma Philippe Samyn ? J’apprends avec tristesse le décès de l’architecte Philippe Samyn, un esprit incroyable aux idées fulgurantes avec qui j’ai eu de longues et passionnantes discussions. Philippe Samyn - Wikipédia (fr.wikipedia.org) Car l’architecture était pour lui une porte d’entrée vers une compréhension...
Ann Street is one of New York’s oldest streets. On a recent Saturday, this three-block stretch of the Financial District resembled a slender ghost town of turn of the century commercial buildings. But look up on the western wall of 42 Ann Street. You’ll see a historic painted ad that harkens back to the days of...
Dear Creative Soul,Do you recognise any of these questions:◦ What if my work isn't good enough?◦ What if people think that I am a crap artist?◦ What if nobody buys my work?◦ What if I can't think of anything good after I finish my book?◦ What if someone steals my idea?What-ifs are so toxic (even re-reading the list...
One of my favorite annual events in oceanside is the Beach Soccer Championship. It’s a unique variation of soccer and really fun to watch. The field and teams are small, it is faster pace, you can get close to the action, there are lots of bicycle kicks, and the atmosphere is relaxed like a surf competition. I’ve...
May 31, 2026 CNBC Artificial intelligence is turning out to be far more expensive than anyone expected, and CFOs at major U.S. companies are now facing a brutal new trade-off: tokens or humans.
May 2026. Medias. Transylvania. Our 7 night, 5 city trip round the heart of Romania had taken in a few of the less obvious stops, a bit like adding nights in Mansfield and Rotherham to your big Yorkshire tour. “Most people who visit Medias, Romania, come there by accident. Located right in the center of the...
img { display: inline-block; } rose It was my wife's birthday, and our wedding anniversary! Baked some cakes and had a great time. Mine is the Donauwelle attached at the bottom of the post, my wife baked the fruit cake. My friend who visited Japan bought us great gifts from there; I got two gachapon (Cinnamoroll and...
I’ve been really getting into the independent web lately. Instead of doomscrolling reddit, I’ve been reading through bubbles and powrss. Doing so, I run into a lot of community-building-type posts, like the Junited one by Robert Birming.I like his idea, so here’s a collection of all the pages, posts, and articles...
There are a great number of tools and devices out there designed to improve computer use for people with disabilities or even make computer use possible at all. We can consider them in two broad categories, input and output. Input methods send data provided by a user to a device, while output methods send...

I don’t know why it suddenly dawned on me, but i’m not sure why i chose to build Z1NZ0L1N and Architypes with a full-fat CMS. I’d been using Pelican and Hugo for almost fifteen years by that point, so i’ll chalk it up to some sort of static site generator fatigue. It took me more than a year to remember why i...
And just like that, another month has flown by. Time for my usual look back. The month started with my longest single-day bike tour ever: 136 km from Braunschweig to Gifhorn, Celle, and back. It was pretty exhausting, but that didn’t stop me from trying again at Pentecost. I had planned to ride various national and...

2026-05-31Hello!This is a hastily-written response to Absurd Pirate's article: "I'm So Tired of Ads". My response: Then Do Something About It.I definitely understand that ads are annoying. I also think that not enough people (including me) know the economics of advertising, and how marketing in general pays the...

Reflections on the week I managed to keep to my planned sleep schedule over the week, and my levels of mental energy increased noticeably. I’m naturally waking up earlier, which is a bit annoying – I’d rather get more sleep instead – but I still seem to get enough sleep to maintain concentration throughout the day....

A nice moment in Google Maps – if you are travelling by public transit, an indicator shows not just the current stop on the list in real time, but also exactly where you are in between stops: It’s not just something traditionally delightful, a cute big icon moving smoothly. I also think it’s very helpful. Travelling...
John Gruber, writing at Daring Fireball: You know what a dickover is, even if you didn’t know what to call it (until now). If you use the Internet, you encounter them every day. They’re popovers, but dickheaded. The web is absolutely lousy with them, and mobile apps present them too, with increasing frequency. I’ve...

Well, I wasn't expecting to release a new version of BlogMore quite so soon, given I made a release earlier today. But an issue came in that the Bluesky icon wasn't showing in the socials section on someone's blog, despite the fact that the docs suggested it should work. Sure enough, the icon wasn't there despite...

El otro día estuve dedicando un rato a pensar en como puede acercarse el futuro a nivel tecnológico.

Books and some interesting pages I read in May 2026 Non-fiction The End of Everything by Katie Mack (2020) 226 pages 5 stars We know that the universe started with the Big Bang, and that it currently is expanding. But will this go on forever, or is the universe destined to end, and if so, will there be a new Big...

It’s not really about the app When Stefano Marinelli posted about compromises and tolerance, I knew he was right because I’ve seen this in action: Life is full of compromises. And the more you live, the more you learn (or should learn) to be at least a little tolerant of the choices others make, even when they seem...

I have a terrible admission to make and you may never forgive me. It’s taken far too long, so please don’t be mean about this. Look, I’m already on my knees apologizing and you don’t have to make this weird, okay? But this weekend I finally got my copy of Indian Street Lettering by Pooja Saxena. I know! I’m sorry! I...
I can stare out this window for hours. I'm not even looking at anything. The stars and occasional propulsion jet are the perfect backdrop for thinking and the occasional good idea. I'm supposed to be working, but when the big ships dock, I like to lean my head against the window supports and feel the vibrations that...
In recent weeks, I have been talking with a lot of people about personal websites. In so many of my discussions, I mention that one of the reasons I love coming back to my personal website is the community around the indie web: people all over the world sharing what interests them: slices of life, hopes and dreams,...

Inspired, as so many are, by Robert, I'm going to attempt #Junited2026 — sharing one link to another blogger every day to celebrate some of the excellent writing out there. I may not make it but we can but try. Thanks for reading this post via RSS! Let me know your thoughts by sending me an email: rss@thomasrigby.com.
So I've said this before, but my intention has always been to take a break from the Mia Graves books once I finished book five. And, well, with the fifth book, The Perfect Host coming out in August (pre-order it!) that means I need to figure out what the heck I actually want to work on. See, the problem is I always...
I’ve seen dithering everywhere for a while now, I quite like the look and have used p5.Riso.js to make a webcam effect before. Looking around, I found a client-side atkinson dithering script with an option to adjust the crunchy-ness of an image and maintain pixel ratio. Following Chris Coyier breakdown on CodePen of...

Back in the day, there were only hunters and gatherers, and I would certainly have been in the latter group. Collecting things is satisfying.

Peter Steinberger’s excellent codexbar: CodexBar tracks usage windows, credit balances, and reset countdowns across the providers you actually pay for — one status item each, or merge them into one.

Swimming As I promised myself, I started swimming this month.

You'd think that having a brain would be enough to alert oneself to a red flag. What should we do when we see red flags?
Hyper Light Drifter is an action game with a pixel art aesthetic and tight controls reminiscent of games from the 1990s (spoilers below). You control a futuristic sword fighter who embarks on a quest to save the world from some indeterminate evil. You progress through a sprawling world of forests, mountains, lakes,...
