This post is entirely inspired by Rachel Maksy’s video she posted yesterday: my complete ineptitude to do a new to me yarn craft: nålebinding. This morning the headline of a triumphant article shouted at me that OpenAI now has created...
So today I had this conversation with my brothers. They asked me if I saw their family trip and event photos on some social site. Because if I did I wouldn't be asking them how they were doing. Hmm, so I can't ask you how you are doing...

The UK government is finally starting to put together advice for households to stock up on food supplies, which should be announced as part of a campaign soon (I’ll add a link here when the official advice is released). According to the...
Casey’s due to arrive from Florida tomorrow. Spent the day working from home, noticing the sun peeking through trees of a window that needs cleaning, and watched Stephen King’s The Long Walk to close out the day. I’d missed this 2025...
From the archive.***Totentanz III—a palimpsestI’m standing beside a construction worker near downtown Tampere, waiting to cross the tram tracks. With the bearing of a Piast and a finely crafted mustache, this man must be a Pole. Or so my...

Superstition Wilderness, Arizona (from my photos) I spend a lot of time outdoors. Camping. Fishing. Hiking. Soaking in the goodness of nature. I get irritated when I see people leaving trash (or their imprint) where it doesn't belong. I...
I wrote about my adventures on IPv6 before. Basically, it seemed like IPv6 solved address space limitation problem with a larger address space while IPv4 just used NAT, and that meant IPv6 didn't add much value because IPv4 practically...
Hace tiempo que se pronunció Gentoo y lo comentamos por aquí: «Gentoo dice NO a la IA en sus políticas». Ahora NetBSD se ha pronunciado también para «excluir el código generado por IA». El motivo resumido: «Problemas de licencia». Así lo...

My wife and I spent our summer vacation this year on the Polish Baltic coast. It was a welcome relief from the unbearable heat in Central Europe. As the 8-hour drive seemed a bit too long for us, we stopped off for two days on the way up...
A family member yesterday who is going on an aoroplane vacation said “I know you don’t like that” and I was like… it doesn’t matter what I think. It’s not my opinion that matters. I actually think flying and travel is fun and...

I'm not beating the Nongshim bias allegations, am I? I swear this one is because it's what I had as far as instant cups go, and I promise it might happen again, officer. I've been mulling over some particulars about the ontology...
