The big run of late-July major BLCKDGRD Holy Days starts tomorrow so here today (a hint of one of the birthdays below the Mojave 3 song), earlier in the week than the recent weekly screams have been of late. I received no notice whether the domain name was renewed or not but since I'm still here and no one has...
The UK experienced an unprecedented heatwave last month, along with the rest of Europe. In the UK, where I am, the heatwave broke June temperature records (peaking at 37.7C), while Germany hit an all-time high of 41.7C. The reality of climate change is that heatwaves like this will become longer, more frequent, and...
Hello, loves! Tout le monde déteste l’IA. I had in mind to do some pleasant Making App additions to the program. I’m afraid that the code may not agree. Result: whining is never really wasted. Next on my agenda for the program is to improve the Making App side of things, so that it’s easier to assess how the...
Posted on July 27, 2026 Tags: madeof:atoms, craft:sewing, FreeSoftWear The recurring joke is that because of some health issues, in summer I dress like a Victorian Vampire. But how would an actual Late Victorian Vampire dress? Picture her, she would look like some kind of eccentric gentlewoman, as vampires usually...
The New York Times has an interesting article by Kashmir Hill, about her reaction to discovering a 90-page AI biography of herself on Amazon. Here’s a link to the piece at The San Francisco Examiner. To say the biography wasn’t very good understates the case: just a collection of a few disparate facts and fictions...
Tara Clerkin Trio - Somewhere GoodA blissfully dubbed-out Broadcast? A trip hop-infused Young Marble Giants?! Whatever! The Bristol-based group was one of the best totally-new-to-me things I saw at Big Ears this past spring. I don’t think I’d ever heard of them, but enough trusted heads told me to check ‘em out and...
Remember when your heart was broken and you wanted her to tell you, just once, why she left you? Why she cheated on you? Why she didn't tell you this before, when there was still time? You said you wanted closure, but there's no such thing as a perfect closure. There's no perfect ending. That notion of a clean...
Building Having a bit of a problem with figuring out what I want to make. I used to be much more creative than I am now. Mostly drawing. I was never particularly great at it but it was always a passion of mine, right up until I finished high school. I don't know what happened. Maybe it was the IB program I was in...
While I have discussed the AD&D DMG in great length on this blog, my interest has largely been in interpreting the general feel of the game: I mostly unpack the implications of specific rules, worldbuilding conceits, and explicit playstyle intentions. I sometimes get into the weeds on something specific, offer a...
TL;DR The AI infrastructure bubble has reached a point where companies just can’t actually spent all the money they might (notionally) have allocated. There might be money on a balance sheet somewhere, but good luck exchanging it for actual GPUs, or HVAC, or HVAC installers, or… When the sums of money get large...
