Apparently, you're allowed to be annoyed with people you don't like? Cool, another social thing that nobody told me 1. I'm so used to being the hoe nobody likes. Desperation emenating out of my pores, my (obvious) insecurities around my lack of socialisation and general "feralness" would drive people away, and my...
Yesterday evening I finally had the chance to unbox my Steam Frame and have an initial play with it. Here are my impressions of it after playing for a couple of hours. Note that this isn't intended to be any kind of review, just some jotted notes about things I noticed and concluded. The order might appear a little...
I will confess upfront that I’m not a fan of this cover, though I’m the first to admit my tastes are, in a word, pedestrian. I requested the ARC due to name recognition and a desire to read more non-white authors. Beware: internalized homophobia/queerphobia as backstory; one of the protagonists is a struggling genre...
So for about fifteen years this has been my TV/movie watching sitch — I’m over here, and the computer that plays the stuff is over there *points at bookcase*. And I control this with this handy li’l keyboard. Now, when I first started this thing, I went through about half a dozen keyboards until I found this one....
I’ve bounced off jrnl a few times. While I like its simplicity, most of my past journaling is sitting in my Obsidian vault, and jrnl isn’t quite on Obsidian’s wavelength. It uses @tags instead of #tags, for example. Meanwhile, I’ve been wanting a nicer way to browse those old journal entries. Something better than...
Most people think healthy eating requires willpower, kale, and a faint sense of misery. Personally, I prefer a regimen built entirely on Pantry Math and emotional rationalization at 9:15 PM. Look, I’ve given up on pretending I’m ever going to be the person who gets excited about celery sticks or drinks warm water...
“It is, after all, not necessary to fly right into the middle of the sun, but it is necessary to crawl to a clean little spot on earth where the sun sometimes shines and one can warm oneself a little.” Franz Kafka (July 3, 1883–June 3, 1924) was one of history’s most prolific and expressive practitioners of what...
On whether LLMs and agentic AIs are a positive and beneficial invention, I tend to lean more toward optimism. Although they can certainly make mistakes and hallucinate, they are useful. Regardless of where you stand, we can at least acknowledge that there's an intelligence at work, which raises the question: are...
About a year and a half ago, Nikhil showed me Nathan's blog post about IndiaFOSS 2024, we ended up going in September 2025 and it was cooler than the blog post made it out to be. This was about a week or so after we founded ATLAS, and we had such an incredible time there. Talented and passionate people everywhere,...
When I’m on my bike and do a little evening tour, I often follow the same routes. Some variations here and there, but not too many. On Friday, I did more of a detour from my usual paths. I went along a beautiful lake in Braunschweig towards Wolfenbüttel and then through a little forest next to where I studied. After...
September 26, 2026 As reports of OpenAI’s models breaking containment, hacking sites, and generally getting out of control pile up, the company has made the decision to pause training of its most powerful models. The Verge

2026-09-26Hello! Let me get the odd naming out of the way first.Each time I capture a photograph, my camera's default file name for new images is DSC, an underscore, and some unique four digit number. I've omitted the underscore here for technical reasons. It counts up from 0001, goes to 9999, and starts counting...
水蒸蛋 水蒸蛋有啥難的？打几個雞蛋，加點水，放鍋裡一蒸不就完了嗎？ 我也是這麼想的，但想要蒸出表面光滑、整體水嫩的水蒸蛋，還是有一些細節要注意的。 食材 雞蛋若干個，具體几個，取决於你想吃几個，以及容器大小。 烹飪 打 4 個雞蛋到容器裡，按 1:1.5 的蛋水比例加水(你可以用半個蛋殻來量，量 3 次就是 1.5 倍左右的水了，蛋殻容量可能有偏差，水量可以適當加减) 加入少許盐 (稍微增加點味道)，把蛋液攪匀，撇去表面的浮沫 用保鮮膜盖住容器，用牙簽在上面戳几個小洞(保鮮膜可以避免鍋盖上的水滴落在蛋液上，开孔是為了適當透氣，這一步是蛋液光滑的關鍵) 水開後蒸 12 ~ 15 分鐘 (鍋裡水要够哦，別空燒)...
There are certain ideas that keep popping up. Like websites where you can reserve/buy/bid for pixels on a more or less large area. Alex Tew probably started this back in 2005 with his Million Dollar Homepage. Oleh Providnyk is a little more modest in this regard and recently made Pixel Area available to the net...

After more than two decades glued to screens (computer and mobile), my eyes have started to complain. Nothing dramatic, just the familiar fatigue after long sessions in front of the computer. I have always been particular about my colour schemes, I believe that anyone who stares in front of a computer for long hours...
Erste Erkenntnis: Tagesziele einfach im Konjunktiv formulieren nimmt enorm Stress. Zweite Erkenntnis: Gespräche mit Menschen führen, die viel mit Agenten sprechen, wobei am Ende nicht mehr eindeutig unterschieden werden kann, was von wem stammt und wer oder was genau da jetzt eigentlich antwortet, sind mühsam. Eine...
Hello! Recently I needed bike lights for my bike. And I remembered that I already had rechargeable bike lights that I bought ten years ago, that I hadn’t tried in a long time. I tried to recharge them, but after fully charging them, they only worked for maybe 5 minutes before they turned off again. I don’t know much...
It is an unspoken rule that I must purchase and try anything that I come across that brands itself as "spicy". Like I alluded to in a previous post, one of the reasons I started this blog was my contempt for instant noodles that loudly proclaim their spiciness in the packaging and fail to deliver on their promises....
I liked this post by Roel Nieskens, about ten lines of code that, one way or another, mean something to me. Either because I wrote them, or I extensively copied them, or they made me laugh. Or cry. It’s perhaps a different take on cursed knowledge, and made me wonder what those would be for me, or for other people...

September 2026. Chesterfield. Having spent at least a tenner getting to the outer edge of Chesterfield for that Beer Guide newbie, and with the next nearest GBG tick a) an hour away or b) not open till Friday I decided to try an old favourite at random. One of the things you notice each September when the Guide...
So hey I owe you all1 a larger update about several major life-events in the past two weeks but right this second we’re watching a movie called The End Of Oak Street (which is a BLAST btw) where, No Spoilers, it’s a Suburban Neighborhood in The 80s, Something Happens, and Circumstances Change Rapidly And uh Our...

Look at the waning bright side snuffed out. Cornered. Closed by corkscrew shades held tight. Now blue suits tend to trend toward the dark, unliked by search light sunflowers. But once in the inside night shadows fade into the dimmed hopes that hold the why. Maybe there they find relief from the unseen walls now...
I was recently the willful accomplice victim of a successful plot to pull me back into Skyrim. I put hundreds of hours into the game back in high school but had mostly escaped — until my friend texted me when I was sick. While playing through it seemed like the pickpocketing chance was bugged. Follow me down the...
A quintessential view of Southern California. We dropped someone off at LAX and stopped at the In-N-Out Burger right at the edge of the north runway. It's a perfect place to photograph planes landing, they are only a couple of hundred feet off the ground. It's Instabae, as they say in Japanese, a place perfectly...
It has been a good week overall, yet I still arrive at this Saturday feeling a bit fragmented. Let me capture a few fragments:--I am still trying to decide if my apple comparing review exercise in my Nonfiction Writing class was effective. In some ways, it was: we had a great conversation about the apples, but we're...
This is the current favourite birthday cake in the house from bromabakery.com, I like to use the 9" pans. The recipe below isn't exactly the same, its what I have been using based on the ingredients that I have around the house. I do make a few changes to the frosting recipe, but I don't really have a recipe for it....
An interesting phrase that I have been attributing various aspects of my life to is "existence tax". How I will initially define this, is: Existence Tax, for a particular person, is the additional cost of living due to unexpected consequence. What quite do I mean by this? Instead of an explaination, how about...
Dear Creative Soul, For years I dreamed of being the kind of person carrying around notebooks everywhere. Sitting on a park bench staring at a tree, taking my time writing a poem, or lingering in beautful cafe’s and writing something profound while sipping a cup of tea. To sustain that dream I wrecked my back...
Occasional Update - Sept. 2026 What does "occasional" mean to you? I have done 3 of these updates all year. I feel like that is really stretching the definition of "occasional." In my defense, I'm getting to a point where I don't want to be online at all after work. This rant from yesterday is something I felt in my...
