On my birthday, I wanted to take a moment and just say all the things I'm grateful for. I'm grateful for Rachelle and our life together. I know that's a big one and kind of cheesy, but it's true. I normally can only recognize good...
"I am so good at what I do, and my business engines are so structurally sound, that I don’t even need to be on the internet to survive” …then win! Here’s how → Tech Minimalism Reply by email
So Google has put their tongue to the Presidential boot once more, and renamed "Lake Ontario" to "Lake America" (joining their previous bullshit of renaming the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America"). Yes, names on a map are really...
When it comes to buying new vidya games and such, for the past few years, I have been visiting my local game store, VIP Games. Mainly because they give me good money for my trades, and back when I was looking to get a PS5, they went...

In 1896, decades before Santiago Ramón y Cajal pioneered neuroscience, more than a century before Oliver Sacks showed us how perception phosphoresces in the 100 milliseconds between the world and us, half a lifetime before he was awarded...
A quick little update to Wasat, bumping the version to v1.7.0. In service of a feature I'm adding to Rogallo, I've added a forget method to the trust store class, so that a certificate fingerprint for a particular host/port combination...
Film Brand New Landscape by Yuiga Danzuka. Ren works as a delivery driver for moth orchids — a common gift for business openings in Japan. Since the loss of his mother to suicide, he’s been estranged from his father, a world-renowned...
Some photos of people's shadows, taken in Bath in contrasty light. Hi! How are you?
A weekly recap of the articles and posts I’ve read that I think are worth your time. Re-fueling while cycling made all the difference — After-hours engineering — A good lesson if you are getting into cycling as a hobby-ist. However I do...
By: Iain M. Banks | Rating: 5/5At the start I was a bit sceptical about the whole game theme, but the novel quickly became a very interesting tale of the Culture.

August 2026. Wombwell. Greater Barnsley. “You’re weird” says Mrs RM, which I’m taking as a compliment. A week after that foreign holiday in Wales, I’d barely left Sheffield. At Dad’s care home this afternoon, the lovely staff note my...
Some Dragonflies we found on a walk around the reservoir. Emerald Damselfly / Common Spreadwing Common Darter Dragonfly Common Darter Dragonfly Male Ruddy Darter Not a Dragonfly. But was watching me watch the Dragonflies.
Many of you know how much I love the Walter Martin Radio Hour. I’ve been listening (and subscribing) to it almost since the beginning, and it’s been a constant source of pleasure and indeed joy for me. His enthusiasm is certainly...
Sunday Morning Birding at Dorey Park Slow morning - only 14 species. The highlight was a Great Blue flying into the pond right over our heads as we were finishing up.
You really, really don’t need a new app for this I’ve been tracking my loose-to-no-deadline tasks in a Forster list for over a month now. This list lives in an A6 squared notebook that goes with me (almost) everywhere. It’s been a...
That’s Mine, by Hobart based Australian author Adam Ouston (Instagram page), which features one incredibly, outrageously, long sentence of perhaps eighty-five thousand words. No full-stops, chapters, or even a few lines of space to break...

24th August - 30th August The combination of a giant honey-coloured moon and distant light pollution reflecting off the sparse cloud cover means, even without streetlights, it's just about light enough to walk at night without a torch....
I never understood why most bookstores in Berlin (and perhaps in Germany) don't sell magazines. I'm writing a new article right now about magazines and how they shaped my life in the last year. While writing it, I realised that for...
My review of “Batman Begins”.
Today's entries are more 'yes and' of existing stuff but that's ok! When I started writing yesterday's blog post I had planned on doing about 6 but as I got through the first three and looked at the clock I realized breaking it up into...
I like a nice cloud. This is at the abandoned but well-grazed WW2 airfield at Davidstow, Cornwall, where the sky is massive. Often you can't see anything because the sky comes right down to the ground as mist, but not today.
0:0 Before yesterday’s home match, I was already a bit worried, as Essen had knocked out second-division team St. Pauli in the DFB-Pokal at the weekend, whereas we, as everyone knows, lost 0:4 to Leverkusen. Either a win like that gives...
I've followed and engaged in politics for about 8 years now, on and off. A lot of what we see on the news feels way too big to make any difference, and often it feels like no matter what effort goes in, we're just kind of crossing our...
With Casey visiting family I’m left to my own devices and a backlog of movies he needn’t suffer through. First on the list was Life Itself, a sprawling melodrama from the writer behind Cars, Crazy, Stupid, Love and This Is Us. It’s...
Kosmo - Arizona, 2020 When the weather cooperates, I enjoy a morning on the patio, reading or writing. We had a little West Highland Terrier, Kosmo, who never missed the opportunity to be outdoors. I would enjoy coffee and cool weather....

There’s a widespread belief that artificial superintelligence (ASI) is inevitable. In this post, I argue that this is false, and believing it is upstream of a lot of bad discourse. Why do people believe it? It’s easy to believe. Samuel...
Dear reader,If you have been reading my blog for a while, you may have noticed my distaste for AI. Unlike many people, I don’t view it as “just a tool” or a neutral piece of technology. I see its harms surpassing its benefits.So when I...
Oh no. I should not have seen those “day live-blogs in timeline format” posts today. Like this and this. Very nerd-snipy, now I want to play with a format like that as well.(Old-school readers might know that I used to have something...
Over the past week or so I took some time off of work and mostly laid on the beach and read. One of the things I read on the beach was The Tyrant Baru Cormorant, and I'm currently halfway through the sequel, The Monster Baru Cormorant. I...
Mood: Ferociously hopeful, buzzing like a perfectly tuned bass string. Come. Sit. Take a walk with me as I imagine the world I wish to live in. The rhythmic, oscillating thrum of rotors shears through the humid air. The scent of hot...
Heya! So, a while ago, in this post, i talked about some random quotes which you can view in the random quotes widget on my other website. So, since I have nothing better to do, I might as well share some more of my favorite that I've...

Prietenul Alex a scris cum s-a lăsat parțial de fumat, spun parțial pentru că a trecut de la țigară normală la țigară electronica cu aburi sau vape, cum le mai zice lumea. Și mă bucur pentru el că a reușit să se lase de fumat în mare...

Back in the days of lax law enforcement and youthful immortality, I fancied myself a bit of a psychonaut. I idolized the old acid-heads of the 60s, firmly believed in the visionary intensity and prophetic wisdom of poets like Rimbaud and...
