“If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me.” This essay and poem are now part of the Universe in Verse book. In 1865 — a year before the German marine biologist Ernst Haeckel coined the word ecology, the year Emily...
I closed my Redbubble and Etsy shops since they were effectively collecting dust. I still have the Ko-fi donationware brushes online though.

Dearest Cocoa, Today marks one month (31 days) since you’ve been gone. I don’t know how we’ve survived this long without you. It honestly doesn’t feel like it has been a month, and yet, somehow, it has felt like an eternity. I wake up...
♠ Previously. CodeBurn shows Gen AI / LLM code usage: where did all the money burning tokens ($$) go? CodeBurn is a free, open-source, local-first tool that tracks AI coding token usage and cost across 41 tools and agents (Claude Code,...
I am almost certain that I could make the switch to a "dumb" phone, if not for just a few applications. I would not call my selections critical, but instead, I consider them life enhancements. These are apps that I feel are helpful, or...
A very good video. While this topic has been covered at nauseam in other media this video does a very good job of presenting it in a clear concise manner. I was really surprised by the AI imagery. It looks surprisingly convincing even...
I was just attending a virtual academic conference, where, frustratingly and annoyingly, 9 out of 10 sessions were about AI. But then, in one of the sessions that discussed human writing vs AI writing, I saw this slide: Human Writing...
Winter isnt what it used to be. We haven’t felt a good cold wind in weeks and it isnt even September… But the trees are blooming.
Yesterday evening, I finally did the last step and shaved off the remaining few millimeters of hair on my head. This morning, I took the chance and prompted a new avatar that represents my current style. I know, AI-generated stuff...
I have been hiking a lot recently. Mostly because I go back to the child mines on Monday, a job that precludes me from taking off into the woods for three hours on a random Tuesday morning. Partly because the local silviculture plot just...
So, I have this little app, Epoch, that I use to keep a journal. It’s a tiny Rust web app that runs as a systemd service and uses SQLite as the database. I use a desktop and a laptop regularly, and use Syncthing to synchronize them,...
This is a little outside the kind of thing I normally write about here, but I have been following the discussion around MacStories returning to Twitter/X over the last couple of days, and I kept finding myself thinking about it.Federico...

I came across a New York Post opinion column by Lydia Moynihan titled The Gwyneth Paltrow AI controversy only hurts women. This may be rich coming from someone who, in the last month, has published reports on a free air conditioner and...
#Am I Just Being A Vegan About It I've been thinking about this for a while now. If you're someone who follows me on social media, you've probably noticed I'm pretty outspoken about my dislike for "AI" as it is developed and presented to...

I spent my birthday holding court in the snug at Casements; a number of dear friends stopped by and it was so, so nice to see them all. Many thanks to everyone who made it and to Gillian & Co. for taking such good care of us. Eryn made...
Share a song that perfectly captures longing. The early days of relationships are wonderful things, all that new relationship energy in your system, spending as much time soaking up this new person, learning them, hearing them, feeling...
This post is just the (lightly edited) text of a document I created for the sole purpose of having something to print out from LisaGUI to advertise its ability to print documents. Printing it gave me something I could photograph and...
I’ve dialed back my TV show consumption recently. There are a lot of shows I want to watch but I feel like I’m busy enough already. It’s kinda nice having less to keep up with but I do still feel the FOMO.
I like to geo-tag all my “stuff” so of course I also like to geo-tag my blog posts. I just wrote a tiny little plugin to do that. I looked at a whole bunch of plugins, I used Simple Location for a while until I realized that all of them...
Yard sales are dangerous. I don't need any more things, unless it's a pin, hat, t-shirt... Currently Listening: Luci Gang “Headlock”Reply via email
Esse é um dos meus álbuns favoritos do grupo. Todas as músicas, sem exceção, são únicas. Divertidas. E excelentes! O meu maior problema no entanto com ele é a dificuldade de sair de qualquer músicas, todas dão vontade de ouvir inúmeras...
I've released v1.12.0 of Rogallo. This version contains a number of internal changes, as well as some user-facing improvements. Improved navigation history For a wee while now I've been wanting to tweak the way the navigation history...
About the RevampIf you’ve been to my site before—you may have noticed a bit of a change since yesterday. Last night, I pushed a lot of features and stylistic changes to my site (over 100 commits?!) It was long overdue and I’m feeling...
This is an entry from my journal. I have had several false starts with reading fiction. The stories are interesting, I know, but I never feel invested in them. A friend recently persuaded me to read Anton Chekhov. I though it was time to...
What if we retired the 'should it be fantasy or science fiction' argument and did something different? There's a bot on Bluesky called NESBot that posts links to resetera threads and one that caught my (and a lot of people's eyes)...
While I'm not lactose intolerant I have a lot of friends who are, and so as a generous host I like to keep Lactaid on hand. I noticed that the letters for the Tic Tac logo could be moved around to make Lactaid, so I figured rather than...
The branches of that tree are cut in such a way as to reveal a ladder all the way to the top. Where there should be a door locked tight. Sealed. against the sky. If you were inclined to see this portal so high up and then forced your way...
Next up is Kampot. We will be spending three nights in Kampot this time. It’s a slower paced thing than here. We leave at 10am for the three hour ride. We both enjoy the city a lot. I’m not sure how I will blog this. Most of the stuff...
I read this post on the trending page and I thought it would be fun to make my own list, because I like to make lists. Clouds. Predictable I know, I already talked about the reasons. Mechanical watch/clock. I think is incredible they...
Ab dem Augenblick, als ich begriff, dass Bücher im Grunde eine Technologie sind, mit deren Hilfe Menschen ihre Ideen in die Zukunft schicken können, war die Sache für mich klar und ich war verliebt. Bücher sind Zeitreisemaschinen. Per...

I love my RSS reader. It's the first thing I reach for when I'm "catching up." As I'm reading through my list of feed items, I often come across blog posts that do not give me any way to interact with the post! Here are some options in...
I’ve moved my blog. Well, I’ve moved three blog posts and two pages. That will expand soon :) The reason for my move is part something I want to discuss and part something I really don’t. The discuss part: I have this account and I...

0:4 It’s been a while since I wrote my last post about a match involving my favourite club, SV Wehen Wiesbaden. I’m not quite sure why, but I promise to do better, as I still have a season ticket and try to watch every home match. I’ve...
NHAM Fest 2026 is up next week, and it’s full of indie musicians flexing their stuff online. It’s worth checking out if there’s a stream you’d like, or just pop in and see what’s happening. It’s all free, and you don’t have to chat if...
Spent the day working on some art for the first time in a few weeks, so that was a nice way to fill the day. This image below isn’t from anything I did today, but is an older one that I’m still happy with. Hope everyone’s weekend is...
August 2026. Newport. The east side of Newport into Maindee doesn’t have the haute couture shops and artisanal delis of the city centre, but it does have the Chicken Man. And it has a GBG newbie that’s been awaiting my visit for a while....
CAP supports the Model Context Protocol, and treats it beautifully as "just another protocol". The support comes in the form of the @cap-js/mcp plugin, which has these feature flags: { "cds": { "mcp": { "per_action_tool": false,...
Busy times, with much family activity, but I did manage to get away for a day's walking in the Cotswolds with my brother and friends, in the course of which I revisited the monument to the Bray children in Great Barrington church – 'one...

In 2006, a group of thieves performed what is considered one of the most famous and smart bank heists in the history of Argentina when they rob the Banco Río branch in Acassuso. Good crime comedy, feeling like a Latin-American Ocean’s...
