Una de mis opiniones en cuanto a productos tecnológicos es que, al menos en mi caso, los AirPods Pro son a la vez el mejor y el peor producto de Apple. La cantidad de magias que incluyen hace que, en cuanto te acostumbras a ellas, sean...
Previously I opined that Valve was about to win the console generation. I couldn't have possibly predicted that both Microsoft and Sony would just self-sabotage so hard that they're both going to lose. Between Microsoft's decimation of...

I’m not a typewriter geek in the least, but having grown up using my mom’s typewriter and, later, in middle school, an electric typewriter, I can certainly understand how people enjoy typewriters as a hobby to obsess over. And like any...

Yes. Again. More AI. Sorry, this stuff just won't go away on its own, so clearly, we need to help it along into its grave a little.
June has flown by it seems, and that means Junited-2026 has come to an end. This initiative by Robert has got me reading a lot more blogs this month (and I actually missed two weeknotes…) I’d thoroughly enjoyed discovering new bloggers...
Note to self. I've had the joy of bringing a few sites live the last days, and in one case it was a multi-site with 7 different domains. During the process I needed a simple overview of the DNS propagation status. Before I've used online...
Sometimes I firmly believe if I wasn’t deaf that I would listen to many podcasts. I still remember years ago when the first podcasts started popping up and I was already deaf by then, how frustrated I was when blogs I liked to read...

“To be thin-skinned is to feel keenly, to perceive things that might go unseen, unnoticed, that others might prefer not to notice.” Yes, we spend our lives trying to discern where we end and the rest of the world begins. The boundary is...
In exchange I will finally start updating my Presently page again. I just got the Recordkeeper’s Fatigue for a while, you know how it is. ANYWAY SO NORMALLY I can only get two treadmill-miles done on my lunch break; each one is in the...
My blogging mojo comes in fits and starts. I’ve been enjoying having a little more freedom in approach since switching to, essentially, two streams of posts; these shorter (or at least less considered) Notes, and the longer Musings...

A life organized around a to-do list takes the joy out of living. There's always stuff to do, obviously: somebody has to wash the dishes, sweep, go grocery shopping, get that cabinet door fixed. The problem is not the to-do list itself....
Since the coding part is now done, I decided to solder the Arduino and IR sensor on a bit of perfboard, and then put it in a case. I don't have a case though; but what I do have is a 3D printer, so I'm going to try my hands at designing...
