Something about these presets really caught my eye. Oliur’s work is excellent — YouTube, wallpapers, presets, you name it — and he’s worth supporting. These iPhone presets look at least as good as hi...
I still sit in the traditional camp, in that I think an owner should be allowed to utilize his or her money in a limitless fashion in pursuit of a World Series. If they want. This is the key — if the...

I’m too slow finishing a book I checked out on Libby, so had to put the Kindle in airplane mode so it doesn’t expire. I do this a lot. But then there’ll be another book I’d lik...
The biggest event of the past week? Ava’s college graduation! Truth be told, she graduated last December, but the ceremony was last weekend and it was a great time. Quite a few family were able to...
I just tried the latest version of the X editor. It's got all the features of textcasting. I wrote a test post entitled "X has nuked the limits, time for Bluesky to follow suit." I think you can tell...

One of the benefits of using Claude for all my coding is I'm now finding out what various things I do as standard practice are called in the outside world. Today I learned what agile is. I of course h...
Only just learned about Null Island. Love the name. There’s a CNN article today about cruise ships stopping there: Just a few weeks ago, Holland America announced plans to include Null Island as a st...
