"1 Corinthians 13:11 -> When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me." This has it all wrong as far as I am concerned, seems like terrible advice. Plushies. You are never too old to have a plushy. Even animals like plushies. They look nice, likely will put a smile on someone's...

La experiencia convertida en evidencia
jesusrrodriguez
Ya no solo conservamos momentos mediante imágenes; comenzamos a vivirlos bajo la posibilidad constante de convertirlos en evidencia. La frontera entre experimentar y mostrar se vuelve cada vez más difícil de distinguir.

Augmnented. Part One.
Alin Buda
We are not living (yet) through an iPhone moment for AI. What we have looks powerful, but it is still fragmented, uneven and often misunderstood. Until coherence arrives, the real work is to notice what others miss — and that is why I keep reading and writing.
two more frames pt VI.........
Ralph Boumenot
after dinner last nightI went back to the shop and got the 3rd and final coat of shellac on the back. That dried quickly so I got one coat on the front. Went looking for the pics I plan to put in this frame and nada. Couldn't find them and my wife said she didn't know where I had hidden them...
End of Music Week
Kristin Berkey-Abbott
A week ago, I'd be doing the last tasks to get ready for Music Week: the cleaning, the final shopping, he laundry, some cooking. I was grateful to have so much in place--food in the fridge, clean clothes--because the pace of Music Week feels more jam-packed every year.Yesterday was a day of...
Mementos of Youth: How Cacharel Shaped an Entire Era
Perfumeshrine
For many middle-aged women, Cacharel was a cultural phenomenon; their fragrances were offered as assuredly successful gifts to young women en masse. And they used to be really good too! photo borrowed via Fetherstone Vintage blog Cacharel's Eden from 1994 is the precursor to neon-green...

Farm Log #11
Andrew Spittle
It’s 9:15pm. The sun is starting to set after another long, warm summer day. The flying ants (apparently, a thing!) have settled for the night and the chirps of grasshoppers have quieted. All is peaceful and serene in this slice of the Irish countryside. Your wife is 41 weeks pregnant. You...

Friday Talking Points -- Quick Takes
Chris Weigant
Last week, we warned everyone that July was going to be a sketchy month for us, in terms of our ability to write these Friday columns. So we begin today with a program update. Today's offering is not a complete Friday Talking Points column. It is bare-bones, at best. We're not even really...
Buccanyar! (Switch)
Jonny
A quick disclaimer first: after I'd already bought a physical copy of this game, and then played it for a week and a half, I found out that it actually has a western release (though I don't think it has a physical version), under the title Cats Away. But the Japanese version (technically) has an...

Giving the LutzAuto Speedo Correction Device Another Shot
turbodb
TL;DR - There's a new version - based on customer feedback - of the LutzAuto Speedo Correction device that I ran until a couple of them failed, and I'm giving it a try again. Here's to hoping that v2 hardware solves the connector issues I ran into last time. When I initially installed the LutzAuto...
How I Stopped Designing Architecture and Started Writing a 3D Editor. Part 1
Alex Syniakov
Today’s post is a bit different from my usual deep dives into mesh geometry. It’s a story about architecture – and about going back to the beginning. Think back to how you learned to program. Almost certainly, you started with procedural code: a program was a sequence of steps, maybe split into...

40K Friday: Orks, Grey Knights, and Dark Angels
Blacksteel
The focus has not been super-strong lately but I've accomplished a little bit. The Grey Knights have been one main area and, feeling that I have enough infantry to play something fun for now, I have mainly been working on the Dreadknight situation. This is mostly because I have 3 of them sitting...

On Giving All we’ve Got

The trick to preaching about the man who asks to follow Jesus but goes away when asked to give what he owns and give the money to the poor and then follow him, is to explain it without explaining it away. I’ll try to explain it, and see where that gets me. I think we can get some help from...

King Henry I know not what to say; my title’s weak. The years after the Battle of St. Albans were a time of surface calm and secret plotting in and around the English royal court. Queen Margaret, who was proving to be a far stauncher defender of her husband and son than said husband himself, was...
