[This is one of the finalists in the 2026 book review contest, written by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done. I’ll be posting about one of these a week for several months. When you’ve read them all, I’ll ask you to vote for a favorite, so remember which ones you liked]1. A New Cause...
I would be very grateful for pointers to other recent empirical studies of the impact of AI on programming education that are more rigorous than the gushing slop being tossed around on LinkedIn.

From Empire of the Winds: The Global Role of Asia’s Great Archipelago, by Philip Bowring (I.B. Tauris, 2018), Kindle pp. 29-31: This region is often referred to as ‘maritime South East Asia’, with the more general term ‘South East Asia’ dating only to World War II.

VH Belvadi chose The Mulai by Munir Hachemi as this month's IndieWeb book club. I read the summary on his site and it sounded right up my street. Indeed, it was right up my street!

I worked with some of the most talented lettering artists, illustrators and writers. I went on to work for two other companies as a product...
Perfect weather for a final day at the beach! I should mention this more often: I am in the process of finishing my 10th anniversary zine – to celebrate this blog turning 10 years old in just a couple of days (on the 26th). The format will be the same as my 366 zines. If that sounds like something you'd like to own,...
Bob Marley and the Wailers with the mighty "Exodus" I have always heard the lyric as "movement culture people" which I prefer to what I have just established is the actual lyric "movement of Jah people""movement culture people" expands outwards to include Neu! and all sorts, whereas "movement of Jah people" narrows...
i have spectacularly failed the challenge and have toyed with the idea of deleting old posts, pretending it had never happened. nobody would know... i wonder why it feels so vulnerable to fail publicly, irregardless of how big of a failure it is. i'm keeping my posts up to own up to the fact that i mess up, and also...
