A year ago, I made the leap to lithium (LiFePO4). My lead AGM gave up the ghost, the result of a failed solar panel allowing it to go flat for too long. It was also long in the tooth. I wrenched my shoulder maneuvering it out of its hold, which was horribly located, so the decision was significantly based on its...
View from Cariboo Dam, pre-run: High cloud, high humidity. Or something like that. In a remarkable turn of events, I actually headed out relatively early and started my run at 9:38 a.m. This is over two hours earlier than Monday’s run and yes, it made a difference.

Decades of on and off conflict in its Muslim region has long stolen the headlines. Under President Duterte, this...
Took a trip to Texel today, visited Ecomare, saw the baby seals and the lighthouse at the northern tip of the island. Shot photographed lots of seagulls that were flying along the ferry on the way to and from the island. 👉 View 6 more images
This is a fun experiment that started as a way to generate deterministic "usernames" for Nostr npub keys (see the last section). English is really hard to deal with even for simple syllables, so the result is not as good as I'd want it to be (a string you can read to an other person over the phone and make sure they...
the sea was wet as wet could be, the sands were dry as dry. you could not see a cloud, because no cloud was in the sky: no birds were flying overhead — there were no birds to fly. — lewis carrol verbal, mental, literal, philosophical, emotional ... whatever it is, this is undoubtedly a drought. dry as dry. nothing...
