September 2026. Royal Tunbridge Wells. Arriving late in Tunbridge Wells we’d booked a Travelodge rather than stay at the in-laws (do any children like sleeping in their parents’ house ?). Sunday night brings £30 rooms at the old Wellington Hotel, with free parking opposite and the decent Mount Edgecumbe pub...
I wrote two blog post in August, and zero in September. How bad am I?! For those who follow along, I extended my Summer hiatus into September. I had the opportunity for more "me" time, so I jetted back to Spain for a few weeks and then returned late September to get my head down and work on a few projects which were...
New month, why not dump a list of posts that I enjoyed, but that didn't get much traction. I only grabbed the posts with 1-2 upvotes, since I want to avoid linking posts you've already read. I'm Guilty of Bad Titles Too. Are You? My two cents about the bucket post opinion is that you can always use a good title for...
I spent much of yesterday attending to tasks that I often don't find time for during regular school days: a dermatologist appointment, some grocery shopping, and a hair cut. But I also did some fun activities. Last year, I went to Asheville Cotton, one of our local fabric stores, on the first day of Fall Break. This...
A dramatic—yet accurate—retelling of events. In 2019, Daniel and I were walking home. It was close to midnight and we were arguing about something. I stepped off the curb—or, I thought I did. The distance from the curb and the pavement was actually quite low; it felt like mere inches off the ground. However, it was...
October 2, 2026 I've been following the recent AI agent incidents, and I can't stop thinking about them. The trend is toward more access. Claude and ChatGPT are both building computer control into their desktop apps, so the AI can work with files, the browser, and the rest of the machine. The web versions don't have...
Check out As in guillotine... for more. In which I briefly comment on the books I read each month, so a few years from now when I’m trying to remember one of them, I’ll be able to find it here. Since I’m a media omnivore, it also includes games, movies, and any other media of note that I engaged with. (For the...
Hace un rato he salido a la calle y me he dado cuenta de que aunque el sol esté fuera, ya no hace tiempo de ir en pantalón corto. Esta noche voy a un concierto y al pensar en cambiarme los pantalones por unos largos me he dado cuenta de que llevo puesta una camiseta completamente lisa. Roja muy descolorida, casi...
En mi equipo de sobre mesa, un PC con Linux Mint, utilizo Docker Desktop para gestionar algunos servicios que tengo auto alojados, como la instancia de Immich. En el Mac del trabajo también lo uso y tengo que decir que este problema solo me pasa en mi Linux. Cada vez que sale una actualización de seguridad, Docker...
Esse site começou em HTML puro, onde até o feed RSS era feito a mão, depois fui para o Jekyll, que foi uma experiência legal, mas nada substitui, pra mim, o “adicionar novo post”, escrever e publicar do WordPress. Até um editor de texto que gerava o site Jekyll eu cheguei a fazer, mas meu servidor, por algum motivo,...
Certos jogos se beneficiam de ter uma duração mais longa. Outros se prezam por ter tempo de jogo o suficiente pra você começar e terminar em poucas horas. E alguns outros jogos se estendem demais ou são curtos demais pra você se divertir. ICEY tem o balanço que eu gostaria de chamar de perfeito pra jogos de ação...

I don’t know what this post will be, a trip report? For background, maybe a month ago I found myself spending too much time on the unproductive side of the web, the feeds and algorithms have a way of creeping up on you, taking over your whole existence, and so again set up my system of task-specific user accounts...
El NetNewsWire es ágil y simple. Es un lector RSS que tiene más de 20 años en el mercado (ya va por su 7° versión).

On October 1, 2026, I (being N.A. Ferrell) published a new article on The New Leaf Journal titled 86 Days Until Christmas: Seen in Carroll Gardens. On September 29, I had come across an inflatable Christmas countdown clock on the Carroll Gardens side of Degraw Street (Degraw is the border between Cobble Hill and...
It’s been a crazy but good week. It’s also been a fun week. Last Friday was a long class at APU before the midterm holidays, which kind of tired me out, so I spent most of Saturday at home resting. Silva – Goa Sunday, I went to FOSSIndia/2026. I met a bunch of people, did my BoF session on microgrants, and then also...
You want glory and riches and fame and book signings and an HBO adaptation and Hollywood parties and piles of cocaine and then groupies and threesomes and orgies and more, so much more! Maybe a couple of statues and the Nobel prize and all of the trophies and medals and the bestseller status and a book tour and red...
In times of instability, one seeks safety. In times of stability, one yearns for adventure. In times of plenty, one tolerates a lot as they think of all the opportunities available to them. In times of scarcity, one becomes suspicious of what they cannot control. It is how humanity oscillates between extremes,...
Biological naturalism about consciousness will, I predict, soon be hot. As AI systems start to look more and more like conscious or sentient entities, at least superficially, doubters will be increasingly drawn to arguments against their consciousness. Especially appealing will be arguments that characterize...
2026-10-02Hello!I need to just take a list of "top ten interesting compositions" and get them done. Next photowalk, maybe. Because I haven't done the "frame within a frame" until now.For all my talk on leading lines in February, I haven't explored interesting compositions in photography for a while. The "frame...
I'm in a group project, and my prof released the readings late in a database that refuses to log anyone in. My two other group members and I were on a mission to fix the login and access the textbook, but we got the runarounds ... the poor front desk staff told me to email the company. We decided to sail the seven...
I read with interest about the new EU packaging directive the other week — among other things, there’s stuff in there about using as little packaging as possible. That is, the box you ship stuff in shouldn’t be bigger than necessary, which I think most of us will like — I think we’ve all (at some point or another)...
It's been a while since I last published an update to Rogallo. In part this is because I've had other distractions, but also in part because I've not had a huge need to add any new features of late. For the most part I feel Rogallo is "done"1. I haven't, however, been doing nothing with the code. On and off, over...
Tal vez y fui exagerado. Es cierto que ya no llegan tantos mensajes de spam ahora que he mejorado la seguridad. También es cierto que hay mas cosas interesantes en los logs, pero aun es posible encontrar joyitas mas elaboradas que aprovechan infraestructura pagada y reconocida. Pero vamos por partes. Tenemos un...
I really love Sophie’s newsletter You Are Doing A Good Enough Job, which was both the inspiration for Kaijuville and its original launch vehicle. I love Erin’s newsletter The Old Shoebox; I aspire to the kind of enthusiasm and joy she brings to her deep dives there. I read every issue of Escape The Algorithm, and...
Accidentally, I only bought German releases today. The full discography of Aphroe is off 50%—that’s seven releases for less than 15 €! He is one of the best hip hop lyricists in Germany and I highly recommend that purchase. I’ve owned almost all releases already, but it is nice to have the full catalog on Bandcamp...
I just published an article titled Trackback Spam on Iroha Isshiki Hair Color Study. In that article, I covered a rather impious spam backlink to one of my family friendly Japanese 2D person hair color research articles. While that article never, to the best of my knowledge, attracted visitors looking for impious...
I’ve read The Breakout Principle by Herbert Benson and William Proctor as part of my exploration of the concept of creative incubation. The subtitle of this book is “How to activate the natural trigger that maximises creativity, athletic performance, productivity and personal well-being”. Notes The main claim is...
in which there seems a non-zero chance that I become the first person to have a grand mal seizure while playing Mewgenics1 Okay I’ve tried for two weeks to write a whole post about this, but I get kind of overwhelmed and upset and lost in the details so here: two Fridays yon, I did the Big Ol’ Shimmy-Shake,...
A genuine question for you, dear reader, have you been reading the daily music-based posts? The ones with a track and artist as the title, you do realise it’s not just me reviewing the track itself? In fact it’s almost NEVER a review of the track, it’s an exploration of me. I’m asking because I’m finding writing...
For the past decade, every time I went up to the mountains here in my area, I got the chance to look at one particular mountain ridge standing there silently in the background. It spans roughly 30km, east to west. On one side, the Slovenian one, there’s the town of Kobarid. On the other, just more mountains. I’ve...
One of the perks of my job is to meet and work with so many interesting people. And with anything that awesome, it’s almost always short-lived. People move on once their assignment comes to an end and somebody else comes and fills their shoes. Snyder is leaving us this weekend and he will very much be missed! We...

I've reworked my Obsidian folder structure again, aiming to get it down to a more flat flat-file system. The two latest things I've done are: Changed how I save web content to my vault. I've got an n8n flow running on a Raspberry Pi that takes tagged content from my Readwise account and saves it to my vault. It also...
Here we are, bewildered miracles of chemistry and chance, trembling embers of dead stars capable of sign and song, a wild bet against probability that won. We have dreamt up origin myths and cosmological models, built the Taj Mahal and the Large Hadron Collider, to fathom where we came from and where we are going....
In my last post I mentioned that I keep forgetting the syntax for adding images here, so this is a note on how to create an editor snippet with YASnippet for Emacs. Markdown mode has a shortcut for inserting images, but for Jekyll I use the Liquid relative_url filter which prepends the site’s baseurl to an image’s...

08:20 Uhr Vermute, dass sich in der Wut auf den eigenen Partner manchmal die Wut auf die eigene Mutter oder den eigenen Vater verbirgt. Das ist natürlich nicht immer der einzige Grund und es gilt auch nicht für alle “wütend auf den Partner sein”-Menschen, aber es wäre ein möglicher Erkläransatz für eine Reaktion,...
At last, another month we say good bye to, and all of a sudden, the year is on its final stretch, the days go by faster and faster, and I am getting old with everyone around me! In any case, there’s plenty of stuff to go through here, media, movies, videogames, podcasts. You Know the usual stuff! I have decided I...
This is now officially the third highest yearly output for Newsonaut, having surpassed my 64 posts in 2014. The only years when I did better were 2012 with 135 and 2011 with 169. Yes, this is my 66th post of 2026. There has been a resurgence lately in the indie web, and I’m happy to be a part of it. I was a little...
Onlangs sprak ik op een bijeenkomst van het Koninklijk Instituut Van Ingenieurs (KIVI), Stichting Toekomstbeeld der Techniek (STT) en Netherlands Academy of Engineering (NAE) over digitale autonomie. Een mooi publiek van grotendeels technisch/wetenschappelijk opgeleide mensen. Er waren (naast mij) veel inspirerende...
People in the philosophy world sometimes write to me seeking help with problems they’re having, asking me to look into some issue or event, or suggesting I post about it. Yesterday, for the first time, an AI agent did this. . The request concerned a philosophy competition organized by Elliott Thornley and Zachary...
