Alex Hsu set this month's IndieWeb blog carnival prompt, No Way!? I've not really done a single moment but the ultimate "No way!" for me is space. Every fact I learn about space I'm just like, "Get out of here." So here's some. Space, as...
Mental models are representations of a separate reality, “a simplified explanation of how something works.” They are a “way of looking at the world […] the set of tools that you use to think.“ We inevitably all have and use mental...
Everyone talks about what AI can do. Nobody talks about what it costs you. A practical look at context switching, the vampiric effect, and how I keep agents on my terms.
There are three albums that, for me, hold the following characteristics: I listened to them repeatedly when I first discovered them. No, really, I mean many, many times. What attracted me to them first was their sound, not the lyrics. I...
I’m sitting on a rock, in the middle of a forest. On my right, not even 30cm away from me, a dog panting like crazy, because even though it’s almost 8pm, it’s still way too warm for his liking. To be fair, anything above freezing...
Daytripper is a new midtown Sacramento craft cocktail bar that focuses on agave and cane spirits in a Latin America themed setting. We’d heard great things and despite being open only a few weeks it seems like they’re already in prime...
In my previous posts I have always alluded to sharing my rss list, and the places I particularly enjoy reading for a variety of things, from criticism to news. This page got finished a few months ago, it was up on this blog for a few...
This is a slightly curious one. An article which wasn’t my idea and which it would almost certainly never have occurred to me to write, but which has ended up becoming one of the most-read pieces of work I have ever done. A few weeks ago...
The Proclaimers’ new single “You May Offend” arrives like a blunt conversation held under a spotlight. It is part protest song, part philosophical provocation – and it’s aimed squarely at… all of us. Delivered with the duo’s unmistakable...
Over two months ago, I launched new color schemes and un-Sassed my site. I would feel uncomfortable using the word redesign to describe this update to my site. The typography and layouts remained the same. Most of the work was behind the...
Had such a wonderful day yesterday. Got up a teeny bit early for my partner and I to go to a local Pride event, which was mostly boring, but we got to enjoy food from our favorite food truck and try out another food truck that had...
I haven't worked Field Day in years. I used to go out with the Ohio State club (W8LT) back in the early 2000's, but haven't done much with it since. I didn't have any real plans to operate this year either, but it turned out that I had...

I recently attended a talk, by an engineer at a large software company, on the topic of unreviewable PRs. The problem? When agents raise PRs with thousands of lines of LLM-written adds/deletes/edits, people can’t make sense of them. The...
Fünf Tage lang, mitten in der ersten Hitzewelle des Jahres, standen zahlreiche Gastronom:innen auf dem Hansaplatz in ihren Zelten und bereiteten eine Auswahl an Speisen zu. Gerade unter diesen Bedingungen mit bis zu 40 °C Außentemperatur...
