Most creatives spend their energy searching for collaborators who already speak their language — and that's exactly why their work plateaus. The most electric partnerships often come from people who have absolutely no idea how you normally do things, and that ignorance turns out to be the whole...

#julyreply A post by Adam Newbold about how to ensure your website is portable had me thinking about how I sometimes do exactly what he advocates — upload HTML files to a server. Hardcore IndieWeb: Run your own website 100% independently for only $0.01/day The idea is that you always have a copy...

There is a powerful difference between building a life that looks good on the outside and one that makes you feel genuinely happy to be alive. The second path is quieter, more personal, and deeply rewarding. It comes from aligning your days with what truly energizes and matters to you.

It’s only been four years yet it seems longer since we first met Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring tentatively starting their relationship and I would imagine only those who watched the previous three seasons will check this finale. What's really changed though in that time is that it feels like the...

In this depiction from 550 BC, Helen’s white, but everybody else is black. Go figure. OK, here we go again… Yesterday, I questioned the casting decisions for the new film I still haven’t seen, but am anxioius to see — “The Odyssey.” But I did so optimistically, thinking it’s likely that...

Between the heat and the remains of Canada’s forests floating through the air, we stayed indoors Saturday and convinced Finn to binge the first season of Stranger Things with us. As a Child of the Device, she would much rather watch TikTok shorts than television, but we convinced her the series...

Yesterday I ran an almost zero prep game with no module or plan except a very basic, admittedly wild, pitch. I wouldn't call it an improvisational game though, well at least not a game of improv. It was more oracular. Idraluna wrote a post on oracular adventures here. I have experimented with...

The integer complexity of a number \(n\) is the minimum number of ones needed to express \(n\) as a parenthesized combination of sums and products of ones. For instance, 10 has complexity 7 as it can be expressed using seven ones, but not fewer: \[10 = (1+1+1)(1+1+1)+1.\] The largest number with...

Remarks: This came out in the summer of 1963. It was the number one song on the US R&B chart for four weeks. It is still a great song. It was written by Holland-Dozier-Holland, the same who wrote nearly every number-one hit sung by the Supremes. Linda Ronstadt covered this song in 1975. Martha...

I don't know why but I suddenly wanted to clean up my blog. So I did. Nothing drastic. I just gave in to the urge of removing my micro page. Only the latest entries can be read in the home page. Also changed a bit in the theme—font size, paddings, borders, etc. Barely noticeable and definitely...

A friend of mine was watching someone ask an agent to generate a PDF. He was amused. “Why are people spending tokens on that? You can run a terminal command in two seconds.” He was right about the math. He was wrong about the point. The PDF is not the point. The Task Is Not the Investment When...

Hello. My name is Rick. Long ago, when I graduated high school, my dream was to become a professional jazz trumpet player. I knew that I wasn't nearly as good as my jazz heroes, but I naively assumed that college music school would transform me into a "great" player. Unfortunately, after two...

Judging by the title, I really expected Tiny Bullets to be another one of those excellent 3D shooting games secretly hiding in the Playstation library, like Gungage and Cosmowarrior Zero. Instead, it's more of a combination of Tomb Raider's meticulous 3D platforming and Resident Evil's simple "put...

Hey my friend... how do we balance all of the options and opportunities that there are out there nowadays? It seems like every single day, we find 100s of potential ways to make money, find partners, improve our health, grow spirituality, etc. How can we tell the difference between what is truly...

Book 31 of 2026: Star Trek: The Enterprise Logs ⭐️⭐️⭐️: Look – by just about any realistic objective measure (script, plot, science, fidelity to nearly any aspect of Star Trek, printing quality, etc.), these are bad; two stars would be generous. But as artifacts of 1970s Trek comics medium, they’re...

Formal training gives you a framework, but sometimes that framework becomes a cage. If you've ever caught yourself second-guessing a bold instinct because some professor's voice popped into your head, this one's for you.
