It’s far too hot and humid out. 🥵
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of a user interface. Like, weirdo, existential stuff. Why did we even make them in the first place? Remember the good old days of Microsoft DOS? Just an inviting plain terminal, complete...
Ithaque is a Greek mythological isle said to be the home of Odysseus. Well, Ithaca is the reference name for it, and Ithaque is the French translation. Memo is interested in French flourishes, and contrasts the name with stylized ancient...
Harry Lewis pointed Bill and me to Gottfried Leibniz's 1677 treatise The True Method (translated by ChatGPT from the original French). I highly recommend taking the time to read this three page document where he talks about formalizing...
A New England mayor prepares his small town for tourist scene as a long-rumored curse on the island begins to feel very, very real. Imagine a Stephen King novel starring Michael Scott, set on the island from Lost, featuring the monsters...
We replaced our network rack with a slightly larger one. Exciting news, I know, but I'm posting these photos because I know that there is a certain segment of my readership who will be upset by them, perhaps even scarred. Is this what...

Previously I've described being part of the ecosystem in different contexts - fandom, the indieweb, locally - but I think what I really mean by that is community. An ecosystem is super important but it's also scientific. There's no...
Good evening. This month has been a rollercoaster for me. I've been oscillating between a lot of positive, and a lot of negative emotions, and it's been quite exhausting. I don't remember the last time I was so tired. Scrolling through...
I fine-tuned a Llama model on my own notes to build a chatbot that mimics my voice — and discovered that AI is less magic and more data pipeline than I expected.
I consider myself fairly well versed in the English language. School wasn’t really my thing growing up, but I did fucking great in my English classes. Benefits of growing up as a nerd in the 90’s, I suppose.I most definitely have an...
