What could possibly go wrong? One key recommendation in the 2026 report is the mandatory use of shared infrastructure, and that governments must move away from siloed agency projects by legally requiring or strongly incentivizing ministries and other public entities to use common building...

Perhaps the most notable overall change [in the awakening mind], though, is a general sense of well-being. In the same way that the taking for granted syndrome inevitably leads to frustration and dissatisfaction, ongoing gratitude leads to contentment and fulfillment. You will no longer crave...

As I sat with my wife on the stone bench in front of my childhood home in the village of 𝐴𝑎𝑤𝑢 (鸦湖 = “Crow Lake”), an elderly lady walked by us and without pausing asked if I was the boy from that house who left nearly fifty years ago. She finally stopped 15 metres away ...

This was my practice race and my first official event with other people and a timing chip. My ‘A’ race for this year is an Olympic one 10 weeks later, but I’m also planning to do a 70.3 next year and hopefully a full Ironman the year after. That’s just to get the T-shirt though. Long-term, I’m...

A plan from Claude comes back as text. Useful text, mostly in the right order, but still a long Markdown document I'm supposed to read top to bottom in a chat window before I let an agent run with it.For a short plan, that's fine. For a real one (a dozen-plus tasks, a dependency graph, a test...

I suspect that if proof of aliens really was disclosed at this current febrile time the public reaction would be hysterical with calls for them to be locked up, dropped on the Moon or something similarly draconian. This is not presently a world receptive to `others` of the human variety let along...

My latest preprint, “Tangent spheres and integer distances” (arXiv:2606.18569, to appear at CCCG), involves the patterns of external tangencies of circles, spheres or higher-dimensional hyperspheres. You can make a graph whose vertices are a given set of spheres and whose edges are pairs of...

Sometimes you meet a complete stranger and feel more deeply understood than with people you have known for years. These brief, unexpected moments of intimacy carry a special kind of beauty and freedom.

We're in the era of trillion-dollar companies, but that doesn't mean you should leave $5 on the table! Take, for example, Photobucket. In case you've never heard of it, it is the Imgur-equivalent of ages ago. I was using it as a kid to upload images there and link them on various forums. A nice,...

During the fair weather this week I have been reading The Iliad in Emily Wilson's translation on the front porch.

Boats, birding, classic cars, fountain pens and a double POTA ATNO activation. They say that amateur radio takes you to places you’d have likely never ventured to otherwise (they say a lot don’t they?). I’ve only held my licence since 2024 and through the hobby of amateur radio I have already...

Here's the lie most leaders quietly believe: that visibility is something you eventually get around to, after the strategy is set, the team is stable, and things have settled down enough to think about how you're perceived, like it's a project with a start date. Like it's a marketing line item waiting for budget approval.

Trimming sails is the art of reading wind you can’t see. The wind gives you a handful of clues — the way little yarn tell-tales stream off the sail, the shape the sail takes, how hard the boat leans — and good sailors learn to read those clues and adjust. The trouble is that it’s hard to practice...
