Brace for metablogging. Sorry / not sorry. I’m responding to two good posts I found this week: Brennan’s Knitting the Web: We Need Interlinkers!, which linked me to Coyote’s Bubbles is a New Way of Recreating Old Problems. Because I’m a proper smoothbrain, I never realized what the “bubbles” of bubbles.town refer...
My best friend, my soul dog, my everything, Cocoa, crossed the rainbow bridge on July 22, 2026 between 12:46 - 12:51PM Pacific after a fight with IVDD (where she became paralyzed in 3 of her limbs). I am swimming in an ocean of grief, barely able to float. Cocoa was deeply intertwined in the fabric of my life and...

I struggle mightily to describe the collaborative nature being lost with “AI” assisted thinking partners. When I try to articulate it in person, the response ends up miles away from what I intended to discuss. Someday I hope to get closer to the heart of this topic. For now I’ll try this: I want to brainstorm ideas...
Rogallo has been updated to v1.3.0. This release adds an extra cosmetic feature to the Gopher support, and also extends what the internal command line is capable of. Both of the changes come from suggestions made by -fab-, who's been an avid tester of Rogallo and a good source of pointers and ideas. The first change...
Big Meadow Campground - Shenandoah National Park Trip: 60 Nights: 198-199 Look at that. 60 camping trips at $82.66 per night. Buy a camper they said. You'll save money, they said. I'm kidding. I knew buying a camper wasn't going to save money. Anyway... we had reservations for Loft Mountain Campground but I wanted...
I didn't ask to be here. Not on Bennu, which I chose, but existing in this universe at all. And I didn't want to constantly crave purpose, but I do, and it comes with the unadvertised requirement that I must make my own meaning. It's a tough ask, at least for the life of the somewhat examined. I completely...

A manifesto for the creative affinity group You may already have the group. People you would text a strange idea to at midnight. But, many of us don’t have a circle of friends who build us up, help us transform and transcend our past selves and turn into something more interesting, more strange. How many of us...
I stumbled upon a short video about traveling with a Nintendo 3DS—my feed continues to expose me to more of these even after I got one—and one of the main topics there was how playing videogames on exotic places can often enhance the overall experience, not just of the game, but of being there, to the point of...
A Bird of Paradise in bloom, in front of a mass of Bougainvillea. オレンジと赤 ブーゲンビリアの群生の前で、極楽鳥花（ストレリチア）が花を咲かせている。
Onlangs presenteerde ik kort na elkaar bij het Netwerk van Publieke Dienstverleners en bij de Adviesraad Wetenschap, Technologie en Innovatie over AI. In deze twee verschillende maar korte presentaties hoopte ik wat inzichten te delen die nuttig zijn voor mensen die nu aan het stuur zitten, mensen die keuzes kunnen...
A follow up movie—or a remake—of [Border] https://blog.rishabhps.com/movies/1785334720051/). Basic idea is the same but this movie is even worse. Again the core strength of the movie could be music which makers copied from the original. But they made it worse. Only good songs in this movie are recreated popular...
And I'm not talking about becoming a "sneaky archer". Yeah that's a fast way to get through stuff like the Dark Brotherhood quests and the Imperial/Stormcloak fights. But eventually you do have to go close quarters with things and you gotta splash one handed or magic. I'll spool up a new character who is a non human...
Feel good Australian comedy classic movie, The Castle, made in 1997, is set the join the likes of Back to the Future, The Color Purple, and Titanic, in being adapted for the stage. The story follows a working class family trying to stop cashed-up property developers seizing their home. The producers of the film,...
This rock I consecrate recognising that it too partakes of cosmic oneness I open my hands towards the sky to fill with energy and I look around me so that I may remember that I too am a member of the whole and that as a passenger on this earth I have a duty to leave behind a world that will receive those who shall...
Currently, I need to familiarize myself with a lot of new technologies. I’m not fluent in Android or web development, and modern languages like C# are also on the agenda. Add to that the omnipresent topic of AI - I have opinions but little experience. So, I decided to start a project to change that. The Project The...
Hey folks! The summer has been flying by fast, and August is almost here. That means Big Minneapolis Anime is coming up, and just like last year Ethan Flanagan and I have a table there! We'll be at booth 618, and besides print copies of the first volume of Peregrine Lake, Ethan will have a whole bunch of art and...
I am a cocktail and four wines in as we step out into the cool autumn night after a hefty dinner. My sweater and the alcohol and her hand will keep me warm on the walk back. “The directions say to turn right here,” she says, as we stand in front of a church that caps the street. I recognize the church from earlier...
This one is a little late. We were on vacation through Monday, and once we got home, I needed a day to recover before I could even think about getting back to my usual schedule.The vibeProud, happy, and completely worn out.Highlights🎓 The biggest reason for the trip was to finally “walk the stage” for my University...
My review of Lea Korsgaard's The Butterfly Season is on Engelsberg Ideas, embellished with a rather lovely butterfly print by Rasmus Christiansen (a Dane). The link in the review should take you to a podcast reading of my earlier piece on the Aurelians – the reader is not me (I wish I sounded like that, but I...
28 July 2026 marked my 34th birthday. Being the birthday person did not mean I did not need to do chores when it was necessary. In the morning, I did the laundry. Near afternoon, I went our with my parents. Days ago, we were informed by the developer of our new house that we would not be able to receive the key to...
I started getting white hairs when I turned 31. Now, at the ripe age of 37, they're still few and far between, I think you'd only notice them if you got closer to me. But regardless, contrary to a bunch of irl friends I have, they don't bother me at all. What bothers me is how un-curly they are. It's like together...

Due to the fact that toot.community is ceasing operations I moved my Mastodon account to Fosstodon. Something went wrong during the move causing most of my followers to not carry over to Fosstodon. I tried a bunch of things to make it work, but to no avail. Instead of trying to fight it, I'm just putting this...
The thought of changing the world comes to me quite often, when my friends and I are deep in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign and we’re playfully bantering about what direction we should head, as I’m quietly munching on a yummy chocolate chip cookie. The thought of making the world better has risen to my mind more...
TIMBRELA MÍSTICA EN BICICLETA[La Jornada, Julio 28, 2026] La fotografía no existe. Pero en los recuerdos que el sacerdote católico Joaquín Antonio Peñalosa compartió con José Vicente Anaya sobre la vida y obra de la poeta Concha Uriquza (1910-1945) mientras ésta vivió en San Luis Potosí ella sigue brillando así: “En...

Hoy, VSCodium me ha destruido y salvado la vida a la vez. No sé si es un comportamiento normal, pero el panel de explorador de archivos de VSCod(e/ium) tiene la “manía” de dejar señalado el archivo que estás visualizando o que tienes abierto. Si te pones a hacer selección múltiple con Ctrl+Click, EL ARCHIVO QUE...
“Because there is so little opportunity for intimacy in daily life, and because some forms of intimacy (especially if intense) are psychologically impossible for most people, the bulk of the time in serious social life is taken up with playing games.” The hardest thing in life isn’t getting what we want but knowing...
I’ve enjoyed John Gruber’s posts about ads appearing on an increasing number of Apple surfaces: the App Store, Apple News, and – soon, perhaps – Apple Maps. (Just for reference, here’s an example of such an ad.) In a post earlier this week, Gruber likened ads to stickers on laptops, and shared a fun Steve Jobs...
今年七月的三连休去了德岛，来了一次不是很常规的自驾游，也算是第一次真正意义上在没车基本上玩不了的地方自驾了，特在此记录一下行程。 点亮地图：德岛市、阿波市、美马市、鸣门市、吉野川市、板野町 Day 1：坐巴士去德岛租车与女朋友相会 此行主要是为了去见在德岛乡下学车的女朋友，并和她一起在驾校周边转转。我没有在大阪租车开到德岛，而是选择了坐大巴去德岛再租车。主要原因是高速费和巴士车票钱差不多，而且三连休很可能会堵车很浪费租车的时间。结果如我所料，比预定时间晚到了一小时，只不过主要原因好像并不是三连休第一天的车流量，而是道路施工导致车线减少。（为啥这时候施工？）...
2026-07-29Hello!Similar to that one squirrel photo I took where the light fell on a good spot, this photo has the light of sunset up in the trees.I'm not happy with the exposure settings I used — the details are the technical info, for nerds at the bottom. The shutter speed didn't have to be that fast, and I could...
I haven't drawn digitally in so long. My finger is numb, I need a stylus.
Speaking as a Gen-Xer, at our age there’s one of two ways to make new friends in this world. The first is online. The second is: This is a special shoutout to the friends I’ve made online over the years, and also the ones I’ve had to call up in the basement via a pentagram and a few pieces of my dusty old soul. I...
“Nothing we keep around us is only for décor, is it? We select and surround ourselves with objects that speak to or for us, whether we are aware of it or not.” – Samantha Sotto Yambao, Water Moon, pg. 139 These days, I am thinking again about the beauty of everyday objects, of creating a house that looks good. I...
You’re six when you fly for the first time. You tell the girl beside you in class that you’re moving away. You don’t know where. You’re not her friend. You say goodbye anyway. The next day, you cross an ocean ten thousand kilometres away to somewhere you’ve never seen. School starts. You’re in Grade Two. Your hand...
Desde el año 2020 soy cliente de Lowi a nivel de telefonía móvil. En 2024 es cuando también pasé a contratar la fibra óptica con ellos. Además, mi mujer, también tenía el teléfono con ellos desde antes. El caso es que en mayo, dejaron papeles en los buzones (aún se hace buzoneo) con la nueva fibra SMART de Digi....
Go’s proposal for package flag was accepted on July 23, 2026. It fixes an awkward case in programs that read the same setting from command-line flags, environment variables, and defaults. Suppose a server has a -debug flag whose default is false: fs := flag.NewFlagSet("serve", flag.ContinueOnError) debug :=...
Moon's Haunted. Last night while I was taking out the trash, I was greeted by this view from my front door. Like, opened the door and there was the moon, peeking through cloud and tree . Honestly, this is great by itself but the 150mm and exposure doesn't really do it justice, so I grabbed my other camera and popped...

Every zeitgeist comes with new design idioms unique to its challenges. Many of them disappear as fads change, but others bake themselves into deeper parts of existing software interaction paradigms. For example, there’s the hamburger menu (≡) which saw a proliferation during the rise of mobile due to the constraints...
J versorgt mich Mensch ohne Instagram zum Glück immer mal mit Screenshots von den Ereignissen da draußen. Und so kommt es, dass ich weiß, wie es bei Jenni von zines.cool am 2026-07-25 aussah.

I finished Fermat's Enigma recently and was surprised how much I enjoyed a book about math. I've always seen myself as a liberal arts guy, but in the last couple years I've been reading a lot of computer history books that each have some flavor of mathematics. I struggled so much with math in school that it's hard...
A year ago today, I put up a guest post by a philosophy professor writing under the pseudonym “Alex Rails”. Rails’ post was about the ethics of sexual relationships among people in academic philosophy, couched in terms of advice for how people could virtuously navigate this tricky terrain, or, as they put it, how to...
July 2026. Whitchurch. Shropshire. I picked up that Whitchurch pub trail leaflet at the Heritage Centre, thinking I could send it to Stafford’s Paul Mudge for his collection. One thing though; it seems to bear no relation to the actual pubs. And not just because of daft name changes. No Wheatsheaf, no Old Eagles,...
