The problem is not that Google wants more AI inside Chrome. The problem is that Chrome appears willing to treat users’ computers like rollout infrastructure. There is a version of this story that is too simple. It goes something like...
When I released Catppuccin Complete UI for Mastodon 2.0, I felt like the project had finally grown into what I wanted it to be. It was no longer just my own Mocha-flavored tweak of Bird UI. It had become a more complete Catppuccin theme...
This week was a bit of a regular week as it would go. The vibe A grounded week with a surprisingly big ending. Nothing about it felt flashy, but between family moments, steady progress, and finally finishing my degree, it ended up...
I have been slowly removing little bits of friction from my website. Not the fun friction. I still like writing in Markdown. I still like having the site live in a GitHub repo. I still like that this place is built with Eleventy and...

I’m back with Part 6 of the Everyday Defense track in my CybersecKyle Security How-To Series. This time we’re locking in backups that actually restore, building a setup that survives ransomware and failure, and walking through how to...
Last week I was really sick for most of the week. I was unable to get my weekly notes out for Week 16 so I decided to combine it with Week 17. The vibe A mix of heavy and hopeful. Needed to slow down, reset, and take care of myself, but...
There is a version of the AI coding conversation that feels way too casual for what is actually at stake. A prompt goes in. A working app comes out. The demo looks clean. The login page loads. The API responds. The build passes. Everyone...
Cybersecurity has a bad habit of mistaking specialization for maturity. A recent piece at The Hacker News got me thinking about something I see more and more often in real environments: we have more specialized roles, more products, more...
