Years ago, I sent my old desktop multimedia workstation to recycling because I'd gotten a new, more robust setup. Before tossing it, naturally, I backed up my files and moved them to the new computer. Except, in my inexperience and inattention, I only backed up working/in-progress files. I missed the folder that...
Greetings from a surprisingly pleasant late July. Smoke from Canada’s fires has dissipated and temperatures have dwindled to the 80s F. It’s actually delightful to be outside. Today’s post is about a scenario for higher ed’s future. It’s not from me, but created by one Matthew F. Wilson, director of Research...
By Haruki Murakami. This book was supposed to be good, and it is in fact good. It's both morally serious and entertaining. Notes: Once I've decided to read a book, I'm now avoiding not only spoiler-y reviews but even dust jackets and blurbs. When I go back and read them after the fact, they often seem irrelevant...
Something I'd been working on with Dex lately has captured my imagination, and rather unexpectedly at that. The ask was simple, on the surface of it: please come up with a suitable text {div} block for quoting x — where "x" is an entity in Lyra Corvus, be it the current Skandhim {☉}, the current Claude {Fable 5},...
By Emily Meggett. Notes: I read this in part to fill in a square in a local library's summer reading Bingo chart. It's probably the first cookbook I've ever read cover-to-cover. There's a particular pleasure in reading a cookbook I don't much want to cook from. (A lot of it looks quite delicious, but tends not to be...

We beat into the wind across the Denmark Strait, tacking our way...
The Boland Amateur Radio Club (BARC) invited me to do this talk on 23 July 2026. HAMNET Emergency Communications provided the Zoom platform. The audience consisted of radio amateurs, citizens, and disaster management. MeshCore is a newer type of license-free decentralised radio network that allows citizens,...
Theatre in the Round's virtually sold-out run of playwright Greg Banks' 5-actor 90-minute adaptation of The Hobbit (which was commissioned by and premiered at Children's Theatre Company in 2019) closed less than two months ago. Just last night, Stillwater-based Zephyr Theatre opened their production of this play,...
There’s still one week left in July, but it’s been a relatively quiet month for me on the blog; I’ve written very few articles. Why? Because…change. I’ve been offline more — trying to be. And I’m handwriting posts-in-draft. That’s very different. It’s slower, less efficient. Yet I prefer it because it helps me be...
