Link: Introducing Dashboard Touch, a build-your-own version of Touch ID - Anil Dash Anil did a nice job building and publishing a fun project: a DIY Touch ID-like fingerprint sensor that can unlock your Mac, called Dashboard Touch. I liked what he wrote about making it: “Nearly every task in this project has had me...
Hey people! Tomorrow, in the traditional Catholic calendar used until 1969, is the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which also happens to be the patronal feast of my local SSPX church that has been my and my family’s parish for the last almost six years, so it’s an important feast for us. I thought that, this...
I find them on escalators, walking up the left side. I find them in our building’s stairwell. I find them somewhere in the long, multi-level stairs of Hong Kong’s Central station, breathing a bit hard in the air-conditioned quiet. I find them in the Apple Store’s full floor stairs, a useful shortcut in Causeway...
Wassup, Traipser! Dakota here with my newsletter about creativity, travel and living an intentional life, which I started years ago when quill pens were more popular than iPhones.

Back home, I turned off the water to the toilet, flushed the tank dry, removed the old part, installed the new one, and turned...
I built an LLM API gateway. Between that and all the infrastructure modernisation I’ve been doing at work, the months have blurred. I’ve been really busy, and there was never a good moment to write. But this is really exciting. So here goes. The project is called SoCLaaS. Nevermind the name — it means what it means....
The box-office performance of Spider-Man: Brand New Day shows that I miscalculated: spandex is still as trendy as it was a decade ago. The disinterest in superheroes was all mine.Which makes me wonder: if superhero fatigue is really my problem, why do I still enjoy Reacher so much? Reacher is basically a superhero...
Coffee experiences anchor any visit to whatever town or city we visit - it's not always specialty coffee, but even Sackville or Saint John, New Brunswick, have nice places to sit and have an espresso. Visiting Dublin, everyone kept mentioning the need to drink Guinness; I guess it's an institution with tourists...
