Google blocks me from typing Swedish
This started happening to me today. But with the way features roll out these days, who know how many people have already had this problem.
TL;DR: option ⌥ + W starts Google’s “Help me write” AI in Google Docs, blocking the letter å that has been there on international keyboa...
Take two
Trafalgar Square is a special place. The architecture and views are breathtaking. The National Gallery, the church of St. Martins in the Fields, Canada House, and more, all surround the Square. From the right place you can look down Whitehall and see Big Ben.
In the heart of...
Museum memories
This is my entry for this month’s IndieWeb Carnival on the topic “Museum memories”.
When I was 10 or so – maybe younger; childhood can be hazy – my grandparents took me to the National Museum of Flight in Scotland for a day. My memory starts as many of my earlier museum memo...

My Favorite Cosplay
I am trading blog post titles with Sara. She gave me a few suggestions for what to write about. I chose the title “My favorite cosplay”. I like to dress up. And I like to dress up in costumes. Wikipedia tells me the term “costly” first appeared in print in Japan in 1983. I am...

EOTD: “This is a legitimate arrangement—no risk to you.”
I got an email that got past spam filters with the subject “Re: engineering collaboration (US)” today. It is depressing on several axes. This doesn’t appear to be an offer to subcontract which could be plausible. This email describes behavior that every workplace I ever worked at would consider breach of contract and grounds for...
Night time; walking
i'll spend my whole life looking for the next best thing
but when I finally find it, i’ll be too busy looking
for the next best thing
I had spent half of the day travelling and the other half looking at art. Whenever I am going anywhere, I like to arrive as early as I can and...
Guitar; sunset
The days are getting longer and brighter. The bite of the winter air is being replaced by a delicate breeze. It feels like Spring is here.
I have been trying to play my guitar every day, usually before I eat dinner. Over the last week, I have noticed that the time I play the...

Two Museum Memories
This month the topic for the IndieWeb Blog Carnival is “Museum Memories.” As I thought about what that prompt brought to mind, I was flooded with memory. I used to play hooky from high school and go to the San Diego Museum of Art. My friend Susan curated a show at San Diego Public Library’s...

The Church at Varengeville by Monet
I am writing about a few paintings to help me build my description skills. My analyses are not formal or comprehensive. If nothing else, I hope that you enjoy the painting that I feature!
The warm colours in Monet’s The Church at Varengeville (1882) stood out to me the momen...
State of the Browser 2026
State of the Browser was electric. This is how I summarised my experience at the annual State of the Browser event in London in my notes. I like to capture moments as they happen, then write about them later. The note is the essence of a blog post; the starting point. The not...
