Running indoors has made me much faster, but it's no fun.The PureGym app tells me that I have now visited them 6 times. That is about right—2 visits per week, over 3 weeks. We said we'd go 3 times a week but Belfast buses on Sundays are so infrequent that it's been impossible to do that so far. It is an excuse, I...

Share the first song you ever heard from your favorite artist. A long long time ago, music used to be made into physical items. Black discs of grooved vinyl that you would buy from a shop to take home to listen to. This song was not exactly one of those. For starters, I didn’t buy it. Each week the hospital radio...

It recently came to light that the CEO of Proton is pushing engineers to develop its software using AI and treating them badly when they raise concerns. It made me realize that setting up an email address through my own domain would allow me to change providers when needed while keeping my email address the same....

En este libro de Agus Blanco, ¿Qué demonios es la cerveza? se pueden combinar estas dos aficiones. Vamos a empezar conociendo a la autora, a la que ya conocía por varios artículos sobre cerveza que ha...

Thinking out loud. Laut nachdenken. Also laut rausdenken. Dabei ist das gar nicht laut. Es ist auch nicht leise, denn es macht überhaupt kein Geräusch: das Schreiben. Es geschieht subtil und unausgesprochen. Keine Worte, keine Resonanz im Raum. Ein Widerhall, der nur inwendig entsteht.Guten Morgen. Wie geht es dir...

Je suis revenue sur Insta pendant une semaine et j'ai hâte de pouvoir le re-desactiver. J'aime pas ce réseau, je me sens sur-stimulée mais c'est trop ... facile ? C'est trop facile d'être dessus. Is this a self-confidence issue ? Maybe. I do miss seeing what my friends are doing but also, why wouldn't I just ask...

An annual tradition. Spyder passed on October 31, 2020.Since then, I just celebrated Halloween at home with Daniel, but last year I finally decided to celebrate the holiday with friends again. My friends had a lot of fun and wanted to host a Halloween party this year. I was apprehensive at first, because I was so...

One of the first steps for anyone setting out to reduce their dependence on Big Tech is moving their email away from Google or Microsoft. The process itself isn’t particularly complex. The problem is cultural. The dominance of these two services — Gmail and Hotmail/Outlook — has eroded our understanding of one of...

(It’s the last day of Halloween Week on Unsung, where we’re sharing scary, spooky, and creepy stories.) A great video about Polybius from Ahoy/​Stuart Brown: Polybius was a rumoured rare or secret 1981 arcade game published by Sinneslöschen that was addictive and had adverse effects on its players, causing...

Back on Christmas Day 2024, I posted a very brief ‘happy holiday’ with a photo that included some of the quilled ornaments that I gave to all my coworkers as holiday tokens that year, alongside these three darling miniature sweaters: And even though I made a note to post about them later, I completely forgot until...

The single biggest myth around advertising in public spaces and in public transit is that “it generates money for the municipality”, “it pays for the busses and trains”. The truth is that they do not generate resources. They only use resoures and quite a lot of it. Oh, they move around money alright. Into the...

It may come as a shock to you, dear reader, that I have quite a lot of gadgets. Gadgets are often a bit wonky. This is just a blog post about how much has changed these days, because I just find it kinda… OK, “mind-blowing” might not be the right word, but it’s a pretty big shift. In the olden days (i.e., before...

At the end of September, as I looked at the late October events, I decided that I would like a witch hat. I briefly thought of making one, even looking up patterns. But I found this hat for less than ten dollars, I decided not to spend time sewing.I wore it Tuesday, which I wrote about in this blog post, and I wore...

Just a few links this month, but still worth sharing. For future me, if nothing else! Niche Museums lets you find tiny museums near you. I'm keen to see Jukebox London next time I'm in The Smoke, and The New York Earth Room and Rex's Dino Store when I pop over to the Big Apple. RemoveMacAI is an open source app to...
