Wrote a post about corporations and “morals”. This Dropbox alternative seems pretty cool, especially since it can be self-hosted at no cost for the software: Seafile Another cool self-hostable app, this time for photos: PhotoPrism RogueAmoeba released SoundSource 6. I’ve been using this utility for years. It’s come
Ashe Dryden writes on Mastodon: Do not forget the people, companies, and organizations that abandoned their morals during these dark years. and links to this article on The Verge about Microsoft and their DEI efforts. She also linked to Jeff Johnson writing something similar about Apple on Mastodon: Apple’s
There is a cool set of command line tools in this list from the makers of the Tower git client: 7 CLI Tools Every Developer Should Install It’s weird to me that someone would complain about X, or other people’s use of X, but then ultimately use X
My dad, Edward, when he was stationed at Okinawa during the Korean War. He passed away this day in 1973.
Forgot to mention yesterday that I got my first issue of The New Yorker in the mail! Very excited to have a subscription to a real magazine again! I’m always amazed (not sure why) when I read stupid shit about music. This comment in a Rick Beato video of
Wrote about kids and the news today. It’s Christmas music season right? I tend towards the stuff from the 50s/60s — in other words the stuff I grew up on. But I also highly favor early music/traditional carols these days and nobody does them better than The Sixteen.

This is how we ended up with a 2nd Trump presidency...
Start of a new week, end of a month. I spent basically the whole damned day shoveling snow. I got rid of our big snowblower back in September instead of fixing it. Big mistake as yesterday was the snowiest November day in Chicago history, beating a 74 year old record.
I wrote the other day about writing online/blogging: That goes along for a bit until it doesn’t. So I’m not sure where that leaves me. At least this time I didn’t nuke all of the sites like I have in the past. Stuff is sitting there
Learned some interesting things about the Meslo font I’ve been using for years in iTerm on the Mac and had never bothered to look up before: 1. Meslo comes in three “line gaps” to control spacing between lines: – (S)mall, (M)medium, (L)arge 2. There is also a
Just discovered this guy. The DJ sets are really something and the set he did in Rio at the statue of Christ the Redeemer was absolutely amazing. Full set here:
Wishing everyone a happy, peaceful, Thanksgiving. Here we're doing the usual including watching the National Dog Show. Dinner and Beaujolais Nouveau later!
Had to laugh reading this piece because I feel the exact same way and I know what all this stuff is and how it works. Tech people are mostly insufferable on the Internet. The same person wrote this piece about the fact that the stuff making it to the Bear
Trader Joes was absolutely insane today. The parking lot there is way too small and getting in there was an act of bravery. I forgot something and I am not going back. Cherry Audio released just what everyone was waiting for…a Roland Jupiter-8 emulation! Oh wait, it’s already
I like when someone new to the company tries to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about despite having years of experience with the particular thing they're just trying to wrap their head around. But it’s a bit delicious when they
Discovered: Yet another YouTuber I have never heard of until today and she's got over 5 million subscribers: Jonna Jinton It struck me this morning just how many riches we have in the software world. There are applications to do just about anything. I’ve been spending more
Wow. What a day it was in politics yesterday. Between the Mamdani/Trump meeting at the White House where you’d swear Trump would have adopted Mamdani after their meeting to the announcement by Marjorie Taylor Greene that she was resigning as of 1/5. Crazy stuff. It also struck
It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the midpoint of November with the holidays about to crash down on us. It’s even harder to believe given that I’m sitting out on my patio as I write this and it’s 66 degrees. It’s been the quintessential
I quit Bluesky on Thursday, for good. I’ve said that many times in the past but this time it’s the truth. I am getting nothing but aggravation from that site, the ROI is below zero at this point, football be damned. It’s not even that good for

I kept running into the referenced error when trying to set up the Microsoft RDP-based "Remote Login" feature in Ubuntu Desktop (I'm using 25 but this problem has existed for years at this point) using Microsoft's own "Windows App" (that is a
"In our Time" is a podcast from the BBC I listened to for years. Loved it but stopped listening because I couldn't give it the attention it deserves. So I was pleasantly surprised to see this article from the NY Times about it. Great results in
On POSSE... POSSE: too many places to post and pay attention to. I love the idea, or at least want to love the idea, but do we really need this? If I syndicate to other places from my blog am I not responsible for monitoring those places as well? It
🏈 Bears squeaked out a win vs. the Bengals. Both defenses were terrible, the Bears just a bit less so. Truly an awful performance today by both Caleb Williams (though he nailed one when it counted at the very end of the game) and the defenses. Bengals had a bit of
New month. New me? Not bloody likely.
