I just added two new themes to my minimalist doric-themes package. doric-tiger is a light theme, while doric-lion is dark. Both use orange and yellow colours. Below are sample screenshots. doric-tiger doric-lion Part of development The...
I’ve always preferred the ‘cleaner’ look of a black and white site in light mode! I do however have a love/hate relationship with dark mode websites/app etc. The ‘love’ part is that I understand the need.The ‘hate’ part is that they...
Liked Shiki (Anime Review) by Cabbage (Cabbage Sorter) I had Shiki on hold since 2013 ... When I first watched it, I couldn't get past the hair, it was too much. It wasn't just the hairstyles though, I clearly remember feeling...

I live in an apartment that first gets heated up on one side before noon, then later from the other side. My kitchen is especially hot each year because it has a huge bay window with no shutters installed. My strategies for keeping cool...
Dá pra acreditar que já tem 1 ano que eu estou fazendo esse post? Eu também não. Eu não imaginava que ia conseguir levar tão longe esse tipo de post recorrente e que começou como algo bobo, mas que atualmente é o post que eu tenho mais...
Finished reading: Gate of the Feral Gods by Matt Dinniman 📚 This one had a fun concept and intense ending, really enjoyed it. The peak outside of the dungeon in the last few pages was very cool.
Similar to the tradition of publishing the annual list of Defaults, this is the review of my current subscriptions. I’ve also published the lists in 2023 and 2024. Event though I have a Bear lifetime subscription, I moved my blog to...

Leave before locked 28 Jun, 2026 A year and a half after switching from Fusion to FreeCAD, I can confidently say I made the right choice. I tried FreeCAD for the first time a long time ago, but it was too rough to get started with. I’m...
I'm unsure if everyone is really talking about webmentions or if I'm just noticing them more because I'm working on mine, but it certainly feels like the former.[1] A few weeks ago, I mentioned that my site now supports webmentions....

Space Battle Lunchtime Vol. 2: A Recipe for Disaster ~ Natalie Riess I read the first Space Battle Lunchtime years ago and thought it was cute. The second volume is just as much fun! It picks up directly after the cliff hanger ending of...
I'm making progress with GravityLoops, my gravity simulator in Interlisp and LOOPS. There is nothing to see yet but my latest work put in place most of the pieces the program needs to show something on the screen. The major new feature...
I had a strange experience this morning. After having our barcodes scanned at Diamond Creek parkrun’s annual Pride event, my friend and I headed straight to D’s athletics event. As we were talking, one of the organisers tapped my friend...
The past two weeks have been full of marching band. We’ve been following our kids attending parades for eight or nine years now, chaperoning for most of those. It’s a fast and furious summer competitive parade season, and they’ve had a...
Can I keep doing this weekly?? let’s see This week I started and finished reading The Odyssey, translated by Emily Wilson. I enjoyed it! Wilson’s translation was easy to read and it was fun to finally see the bits and pieces that I’ve...
The first world problems have been coming at us hard the past couple of weeks. Amidst the excitement of moving into our new house we started to experience a streak of serial disappointments so consistent that it seems scripted. It...
Art, Georgia O’Keeffe believed, springs from “the desire to make the unknown known… and keeping the unknown always beyond you.” We seem to have drifted lightyears away from that motive force, the majority of our epoch’s cultural...
It's been a short while since I last made a release of BlogMore; in fact, the time since the last update might be the longest I've gone between versions since the first release. I think this might mean it is actually more or less feature...
Divine Liturgy was great today, thanks for asking. I am a small flame, but a flame nonetheless; so are (You). Since I've been home from church, this afternoon has revolved mostly around cleaning the computer room where Arthur is still...
One day I will learn to have my camera settings dialed in for action on big parade days. That said, I salvaged more than a handful of snapshots.Reply via email
The heat and humidity has been unbearable the last week. My back garden weather station has been recording 36c temperatures with dew points reaching 24c. For the UK that is ridiculous. It's actually quite unbearable at times but if it...
My last post on color themes and subsequent dark-mode refresh made me want to add an easier way to toggle light and dark mode on this site. In my new nav section, you’ll now see a theme switcher over on the right: CSS vs. JavaScript? I...
Spent some time in rss land reading things. I tend to use the Current News app these days so I don’t see reminders of my abject failure to stay caught up. With the others I get the counts of things. Sometimes it seems like there is no...
I recently started getting into 3D printing, but so far I've spent most of my time getting setup and learning the ropes. I've now completed my first little project with the 3D printers and I'm really happy with the result. As a biker of...
I saw a cool text effect on Nikhil’s blog recently, where the big “Hello!” on his website has some rings masking the word “hello” that produce a cool effect, and I thought I’d try to replicate it. Here’s the final result, which I’ll...
Lag gerade auf dem Sofa und dachte, ich könnte mal versuchen die 1000 Wörter auf dem Handy zu schreiben. Ich habe das lang nicht mehr gemacht, irgendwie ist dieses Gerät zur bloßen Ablenkungsmaschine verkommen, aber es soll mal eine Zeit...
Did I write anything in the last few days? No. Did I decide to spool up an aggregate site to show me all the stuff I follow on one page because it's too hard to have numerous RSS Feeds proc in a Discord channel? Yes. It has light/dark...
Ooof. I had my troubles back in college, and the counselor assigned to me used MBTI. I'm not sure if the test was mandated by the university but hell, having to take the test before the first meeting with her only for her to tell me what...
2026-06-27Hello! First, a technical note: I'm using tags now. I've always organized my photos and articles behind the scenes, but I think I'm ready to let readers see the chaos of my photography sorted a different way. Linked at the...
Paul Kafasis:Past icons weren’t just more expressive. They were also more usable. Having distinct shapes provided a useful way to tell icons apart. Tahoe eliminates that cue by forcing everything into the same squircle, leaving color as...
As part of my previous post reverse engineering the Denon XML API I talked about my love for the Golf sound effects in Nintendo Switch Sports, complete with a way to build an ambient soundscape. But where did I get those sound files?...

Years ago, when niche perfumes were hard to come by for testing and our collections were much smaller, samples were actively used, swapped or even sold. These days, I suspect they often stay in our collections to die. Unless you get rid...
WTF is up with sugar allergies? Friday evening we were on the patio at our local brewery when my wife overheard a young person expounding to his two friends about how people wear CGMs to manage their sugar allergies. My wife wears a CGM...

Needing an escape from my warm apartment due to the unprecedented heatwave going on in Europe, thanks to global warming, I went to an early evening movie showing in the cool cinema and even treated myself to a slushy! I haven’t drank one...
Hey all, a lot of offline stuff happened recently. None of it good news, so I didn't have the energy to create anything new. That being said, I began serializing all my audiobooks onto my podcast for financial supporters because I want...
The Group Stage of the 2026 World Cup finished today, so it’s time to mark the homework. Back in the launch post five AI models, a deterministic lookup table, and one football fan predicted the same 72 fixtures before a ball was kicked....
