The story of the life and career of the legendary rhythm and blues musician Ray Charles, from his humble beginnings in the South, where he went blind at age seven, to his meteoric rise to stardom during the 1950s and 1960s. Yeah, probably the best biopic out there, on par with Walk the Line. Not...

The sagas. They continue. The drone life, or lack thereof, is not just one saga, but many sagas. Prompted by my colleague, friend, and fellow blog journeyman, Gardner Campbell, I am providing an update to my post from back in January about My Last DJI Drone. Since then I’ve flown the DJI Neo 2...

U jednom selu kod Крагујевца živela je velika породица, ali nisu mogli da se slažu jedni sa drugima zbog srpskog писма. Dok su neki više voleli da koriste ћирилицу, drugi su radije koristili латиницу. U цркви je uvek bilo свађе oko toga na kojem писму treba da bude молитвеник, ali to je njihovoj...

It now has eight live endpoints, a tiered pricing page and an alpha banner warning people the schemas might still move under them. None of that was the plan. The plan was to understand how UK rail data actually fits together, and to work out how to use an LLM properly on something real instead of...

It's July again! Soon, anyway. And this means two things: Heat waves (hate it) and computer shenanigans thanks to the Old Computer Challenge (love it). This is what I started this blog with three years ago, and I've participated every year since. Last year the community was a bit meh, and for a...

The Ruby community in 2026 is dominated by mean discriminators and their benefactors (they're about 50% of the community at least). Many devs in the Ruby community who are indirect (unconscious) or direct benefactors of discrimination have this attitude of "well, if this discrimination problem is...

At times, I almost feel sorry for John Thune. This is not a normal thing for me to feel, since he is the Republican Senate majority leader. But watching Donald Trump callously make Thune's job a lot harder than it needs to be almost makes me feel sorry for him. Almost.

Boots Riley directed an impressive and entertaining debut film with 2018's Sorry to Bother You, an eye-popping critique of telemarketing that hit a broad range of satirical targets. Riley boosted his distinctive aesthetic -- bold colors, sight gags, and preposterous turns of plot -- with giddy...

On June 19 we released systemd v261 into the wild. In the weeks leading up to that release (and since then) I have posted a series of serieses of posts to Mastodon about key new features in this release, under the #systemd261 hash tag. In case you aren't using Mastodon, but would like to read up,...

In 1974, following the publication of her thesis, Luce Irigaray was effectively excommunicated from Jacques Lacan’s circle and from the École Freudienne de Paris (Freudian School of Paris), the institution where she had trained and which Lacan founded. She was, as one of her commentators puts it,...

Apple is hiking Mac prices due to rising RAM costs, though iPhone prices remain steady.

After a long day of great talks and discussions, a small group of us went out to dinner. It was still hot, but not as hot as it has been. We found a nice fish restaurant, and I had a marvellous herb salmon and green bean dish. Walking back to the hotel via a gellato shop, we stopped to admire...

A commenter on Mefi gamely stated today that “Billionaire = Bad is a hugely popular argument both on this site and elsewhere. It’s also an argument that I don’t agree with.” The idea of arguing in favour of billionaires was objectionable to most others present, and you’d imagine should be to...

I look forward to every new issue of Chris Mikul's Biblio-Curiosa. The most recent, no. 12, came out two years ago, and now no. 13 is newly published. It has especially interesting contents, but one particularly sad piece is a memoir of Sandy Robertson (1952-2025), a rock journalist (and author...

I’ve talked about how This Means War strives to simulate a believable (but surprising) war. But now I want to talk about the other half of the game: the character-side. The idea all along was that this was a war-game that wasn’t really about war, it was about the people living through the war. All...

These are not the dog days – they come in August when the dog star, Sirius, is rising – but, by heaven, they feel like it. It's proper hot, as we say around here, and more to come tomorrow. At least the butterflies are loving it – to the extent that a Silver-Washed Fritillary paid a fleeting visit...

A while back, I decided to limit my involvement in Discourse, in part because it’s a time sink (but let’s be honest, I’d find some other way to procrastinate) and mainly because my contributions are rarely significant. I’m making an exception here, because I’ve previously spoken well of Atthis...

Back in the eighties, when I was a student, there were only two choices: you used ‘vi’ or you used ‘emacs’. I picked vi, my roommate picked emacs. The stuff he did with his editor was way cooler, but over the decades, vi has pretty much been everywhere I have stumbled. I assumed it would fall out...

We just purchased a (used) display case, so it finally became time to put together the set of Japanese Snoopy’s Book Cafe miniatures that I’d purchased a couple years back. Rather than using the two-pieces-of-cardboard backdrop that comes with the set, we purchased a larger, plastic set of walls...

It's day 2 of the UK heatwave and I have a few issues on my mind that I need to discuss. In the run up to this I was monitoring the discourse online about it because I am a masochist who wants to combat climate change disinformation. So against my better judgement I started actually reading social...

Taking a break from the TV and all the fitba, I was out and about this week doing a bit of visiting and looking for ice cream. Fields of grain. Sunny skies. I heard Indigo Buntings on separate country roads. Had me a mango sugar cone, thanks for asking. And no brain melting heat like the reports...

When it came to finding another “Blind Date with…” option, my choices were limited. However, when I came across this one during my search, it was definitely right up my alley. And as you have probably already gathered from the title of this post, I am of course talking about a coloring book.
