The Upper West Side is an area of architectural splendor—with Beaux-Arts beauties, romantic brownstone rows, and Art Deco masterpieces. But before that, there was this simple wood-frame building on the corner of Broadway and West 100th Street. Constructed not long after the end of the Civil War, the Italianate-style...

This 1912 postcard captures a picturesque and fashionable scene: four separate riders on horseback cantering along an unpaved bridle path in Central Park. Looking at the postcard, as well as the more vigorous Edward Hopper painting from 1939 below, made me wonder. Whatever happened to the bridle path, and are...

One dang time, we played For The Queen! THIS dang time, we invited Amy! ENOUGH PREAMBLE. Phase I: Constitutional Monarchy We’re offered three options for Queens by choose-a-number draw, and because Amy is the newest player and she uh, has a type, we have chosen the BATTLE QUEEN (Q19): Phase II: The Reading Of The...

…are a soldering iron and a hot glue gun. Seriously, nothing beats the feeling of handing your kid a previously broken toy that you fixed yourself. Tonight’s surgery involved a light up fan thing that had fallen, breaking the plastic shaft and pulling the wires out. Came out good as new after some glue and solder!

I spent the afternoon puppy sitting our two agents of chaos. They love getting love and being held. Almost as much as attacking each other with extreme gusto. Most of each day the one will ask in some doggie lingo to be held. He enjoys the closeness. The touching. Maybe the warmth and intimacy of the human touch....

The Intel Software Development Manual documents it as: VFMADDRND231PD – Fused Multiply-Add of Packed Double-Precision Floating-Point Values...

[ The stream will be recorded. You can watch it later. ] This evening I will do a live stream where I will continue developing the new denote-data feature for denote: it is an opt-in, in-memory cache with no dependencies that speeds up all sorts of operations. I have made lots of improvements to it and it is already...

I’ve been a fan of RSS for a couple years now. What I like most is that feed reader software gives agency to the user. This can feel like unwanted friction at the beginning: your feed may start out blank and the burden is on you to fill it. But agency is what most modern social media sites lack. You deserve to read...

Here we are back at a favored spot for some coffee and some thinking. I don’t know which came first. This place always gives me respite from whatever came before. I’ve been thinking on the blog lately. Like what would I want to add that would be fun or challenging. I’ve had both things making the thing become my...
