I experience a sense of grief every time a great TV series ends. The sadness that there isn't going to be any more of it, the irrational feeling that there's never going to be anything as good, and the sensation of emptiness inside. It's a strong emotional response, not very different from losing someone you love,...
So, after my guinea pig rant, I thought I might write something a little more simple and upbeat. You know, to give you lovely readers a break. It’s the 4th of July here in the U.S. And honestly, if you can just ignore the 104-degree heat that feels like living inside a toaster oven, the dawning realization that our...
No, grandmother: to know the future absolutely is to be trapped into that future absolutely. It collapses time. Present becomes future. I require more freedom than that.
Les concepteurs de logiciels et de matériel informatique savaient que leur rôle était de servir leurs clients. Il s’agissait d’identifier un besoin, puis d’y répondre. Mais à un moment donné après la crise financière, les aspirants entrepreneurs ont transformé cela : ils étaient persuadés que leur rôle était...

Probably not. I bought one anyway. Figured I’d write some of my memories surrounding it growing up, as well as how I set-up my own. Some memories The Nintendo 3DS was one of those consoles that I mostly admired from a distance. There are a few moments in time, sparsed throughout my youth where I interacted with one,...
First star — in the sky next to the tall Gothic monument in the town square, a square with many outdoor restaurants — people laugh and take pictures, eat ice cream, stroll, enjoy the moment. I love watching the world. Of seeing colours and tenors and of hearing sounds that you can only appreciate when out in the...
At the last State of the Browser after party, Manuel Matuzović was hanging around and randomly snapping pictures with friends using an instant thermal printing camera that he nicked from one of his daughters. What a fun it was! The next day I ordered the exact same one off Amazon for £18 for my daughter myself. It’s...
I visited San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on Sat Jul 04 2026. [map, swarm]
I have finally sorted my pictures of my second day, and I have managed to let it dwindle down to ten :) It was a great day of exploring and adventures! Walking towards the Middelburg Abbey, the tower of st John in the background Looking up the tower in the first picture, gorgeous sky above I had to wait a bit before...
America at 250, America at 50 On July 4, 2026, the United States will celebrate a special Independence Day marking the 250th anniversary of America’s independence on July 4, 1776. While much attention will be on America’s 250th, this article will focus on the 200th anniversary of America’s 50th anniversary of its...

At the latest since I first played the awesome Mini Metro game, I’ve been interested in metros. Particularly their maps. They sit right at the intersection of urbanism, public transport and graphic design. Three topics I’m passionate about. That’s why I immediately clicked on this video when it got recommended to...
One thing I was (and still am) worried about when it comes to my recent big interactive essay is that by showing all these classic desktop examples, the whole thing might appear old-fashioned, relevant only to a bygone era. Yet, the challenges it shows are universal. Here’s something I just spotted. This is how you...
Rebecca Solnit at The Guardian: The United States of America is a truck that has driven into a ditch. The United States of America is a program that has been hacked. […] It is the country that gave the world jazz and blue jeans and atom bombs and the birth control pill; it is its best and its worst people and...
I finally managed to organise a life-drawing session—my first since April—to get back into practice. My aim is to get back into regular life drawing about three times a month to strengthen that part of my artistic practice. I decided to change from the graphite pencils I’ve been using so far this year to Sanguine...
Heute 1000 sehr wirre und unangenehm persönliche, pathetische Worte. Und ich habe (mal wieder) das Theme der Website geupdated! [9/1000] Es tut mir jedenfalls nicht nicht weh, zu sehen, wie Leute mit denen ich in die Schule gegangen bin ihre Staatsexamen machen oder Kinder bekommen oder das große Geld verdienen....
It's that time of the year again. For the past three years I participated in the old computer challenge every year, and I always had a lot of fun, so I wanted to do something this year, too. The topic for this year isn't strictly about old computers, but rather about making something yourself, to combat the...
Tengo intención de apagar mi instancia de LinkAce como parte de mi plan de migración del vetusto hosting LAMP que mantengo desde 2007. No me aportaba tampoco tanto. He decidido migrar mi recopilación de enlaces a una instancia compartida de Linkding; en este caso later.place, disponible para los usuarios de omg.lol....
I decided to step out to see if I could see the 4th of July fireworks from a cross-street in Brooklyn Heights. I took this video from Pierrepont and Willow Streets and then converted it into a gif using the same procedure I described for turning a pill bug video into a gif back in 2024. Independence Forever! I...

Walked outside to find the city slowly consumed by clouds, displaced by the bright lights and thunder of a vainglorious empire.Reply via email
2026-07-04Hello!The Fourth of July means a lot to my country, but until I photograph some fireworks at night (or some classic American barbecue?), I can't really say much without breaking the photography blog format.I'm completing my trilogy of black-dot abstract photography. These photos were easy to set up, but...
June 2026. Shipley. Despite the lure of a pint in Shipley’s top-rated pub, and a chance for Mrs RM to use David Hockney for a boost in views like I did with Humphrey, we called it a night after that curry. But as we headed back to the Travelodge, next to the half-decent Noble Comb (not its original name, I warrant),...
This prompt comes from IndieWebClub Bangalore. I have had 25 minutes to pen this down. Frankly, logistics are the main constraint. I would hate to spend my period of invisibility on an airplane flying to a different country in order to optimise my experience, but thankfully there is much to do within the bounds of...

The Tour de France starts today. I’m still debating shelling out for HBO Max so I can watch stages live on my iPad while I work —the joys of working at home— but I’ll be following along regardless. It should be a fascinating race this year, even if the winner is more than likely to be one of only two men. Barring a...
[ The video will be recorded. ] I will do a live stream together with Christian Arzu, a NeoVim user, who is now trying out Emacs. In this meeting we will go over the basics. The idea is that I will do some handholding at this early stage to set Christian up with a basic configuration. We will also take any comments...
Following up on my two previous posts about book recommendations. I now finished reading Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. The book didn't disappoint. I watched the HBO series back in 2021 when it came out and it remains, in my opinion, the best TV shows I have ever watched. The book which was the source...
Saturday night, lying in bed, because of course I got sick the moment I had some room to breathe. Sorry if this post is all over the place! I'm fresh off my first week of med school, and it's still a little surreal to call myself a med student. I feel like I don't deserve it yet. I haven't said the words "I'm a med...
The lagoon was settled in Antiquity, and in the 600s, there were numerous known towns, and several important cities. Venice, however, was not one of them.
On weekend mornings, I have the inescapable habit of looking at my website and seeing what I can change, what I can remove, what I can improve in terms of HTML, CSS, layout, links, etc. This Saturday, as I wanted to look closer at the way the period at the end of a sentence rendered when appearing just after a word...
In early 2025 I predicted that AI will create many, many more programmers, and that new programming jobs would look different. In March I checked in and found startups substituting compute for labor at record rates, with the wave of new jobs nowhere in sight. This post is the next check-in, and I have good news and...
