This past week I've been writing a lot, first the Walkman post and then my IR sensor project. I've gotten some really nice feedback on both; the Walkman post in particular seems to have resonated with a lot of people, which is interesting. I wasn't even sure if writing a post about it was worth it...

Rahm Emanuel just launched his 2028 presidential campaign -- in Israel. He did so by giving what might be called a "Sister Souljah moment" speech in Tel Aviv, where he delicately tried to thread the needle of addressing the relationship between the U.S. and Israel in a realistic fashion without...

Mike Mearls posted an article today referring back to his introduction to AD&D 2nd Edition and it triggered a memory I do not think I have shared here before. As far as 2E goes my friends and I at the time thought it was pretty good - yes it changed up some things from what we had before but...

I took a little photowalk on a flat-sunlight day. It was humid and a bit uninspiring. But I still enjoyed getting the camera out. I felt like there was a lot of potential on this walk, with the light being a bit different than usual (hazy, flat, and somewhat warm, diffuse sunlight) but found it...

In the west today, we are very interested in what consciousness (our field of awareness) can reveal when focused on the external world. For instance, if we focus our awareness on plants we can build a system of botany, and if we focus it on rocks we can build a system of geology. But mystics of...

I was waking up and doing the thing that you’re not supposed to: looking at my phone. Not so much doomscrolling but maybe catching up with texts.

Today I went through the hassle of migrating my "second brain" from WorkFlowy to Obsidian. At least parts of it. This undertaking has become necessary because, while I totally love WorkFlowy, it is very limited with more complex documents. As a matter of fact, it can't handle documents. And since...
