Work continues on the Paladin Project, my ongoing effort to come up with an OSR 'good guys' campaign toolbox. Regular readers may recall my last post on this subject, in which I described the phenomenology of the anti-rogue campaign. The nuts and bolts of this remain, but I am now positively...

My Flyer and I When my father moved to the States, he missed one fruit he grew up with: Jamun. It’s a tasty, sweet-tart superfruit that’s been enjoyed in South Asia for centuries and has long been valued for its medicinal benefits. At the time, hardly anyone in USA had even heard of it, so he...

Updated July 21, 2026, to include Vatican City, Togo and Niger. A pet peeve of mine is seeing flags with the wrong dimensions. Maybe I should learn to move on, but I can’t help it. Designers with a love for visual consistency are quite happy to show you every country’s flag with the same length...
Not surprisingly, the idea that vaccines could be associated with SIDS is one of the earliest theories put out by anti-vaccine influencers. “Often the fatality described to me has befallen the infant of a poor mother, who… tried to shield her offspring from the vaccinator’s lancet… only...
People often chase dramatic transformations, but the ones who enjoy good health for decades usually rely on something quieter: small daily habits and steady consistency. This gentle approach respects real life, builds lasting change, and creates a peaceful relationship with yourself that feels sustainable and kind.
Casper grins right back, and his eyes laugh crazy little quiet laugh. “Oh, yes, I know. Why night, when, if this was before the greater part of Creation, there is as of yet no sun? Why horns, when there is no air, why rank and file and command, when all is peaceful, and there can be no reason for war, because there is no enemy?”

Un estrecho de treinta y tres kilómetros concentra una quinta parte del petróleo y el gas mundial. Su bloqueo recurrente no es una anomalía, sino el síntoma de un modelo económico que confunde eficiencia con resiliencia.
Lidl warned customers in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands that a third-party security failure exposed names, emails, and potentially passwords and bank details, though no data misuse has been found. Lenovo denied using banned Chinese SSDs in restricted regions. Asha Sharma, appointed by Satya...
Continuing on with the Open Source work. PyVRML97 2.3.4b1 is almost all build and CI process updates. There are a few minor fixes for modern Python's where bool can't be used as a list index and a change for NumPy 2.x array comparison failures. This beta is mostly just so that we can pull it from...

Y sin darte cuenta, ni saber cómo, una mañana te ves delante de la puerta de casa, agachado a la altura de un metro, intentando convencer a tu hijo de ponerse una visera para protegerse del sol en el patio del colegio.
Hackers hijacked Argentina’s football federation email account to demand “justice” for Egypt over a controversial World Cup loss, escalating sports disputes into cyberattacks. Separately, security researchers exploited a critical SQL injection in Apple’s Book Travel portal to achieve remote code...
I've been trying to make some time for Open Source projects again. I've been using LLMs for much of the coding because the vast bulk of it at this point is just grunt work. First up is PyOpenGL. The tests the LLM produced turned up a bunch of bugs in the core that have lain dormant for years...
Nadie mira el mundo tal como es. Entre el ojo y el objeto se interpone una biografía entera, silenciosa, que decide qué vemos antes de que sepamos que estamos viendo.
There is a special kind of uplift that fills you when you step into a new culture with genuine curiosity. Approaching a place with open hands and an open heart turns ordinary travel into something deeper — a living conversation with the world. Small observations become doorways, and simple moments create lasting connections that stay with you long after you return home.
