Most of the websites I follow in my web reader are personal sites like blogs. With that said, recently I subscribed to my local council’s news web page. On that page, they publish various updates – events coming to the region, draft council reports, weather warnings, and mor...

⇾ Liquid Glass is so F**k’d Up

Jeremy says:

I haven’t “upgraded” my iPhone to iOS 26 and I have no plans to.

Under the Hammer

I don’t mind paying taxes. Governments need income to pay for the things they provide, and I am happy to contribute my share, even though I may not agree with everything government spends on and may not personally benefit as some others might. But I find myself fuming mad at...

Piano, vulnerability, and playing guitar

Sometimes things just click. Then when you reflect you realise that the thing clicked because of many things all coming together – that as much as you wanted to advance an idea in the past, it needed time. I had one of these moments during the writing meetup I hosted this e...

It's all very well having my own domain and online home, but an attack by malicious spambots is enough to make me reconsider my “freedom”.

One is also up against the plethora of tutorials and guides that are almost useless to me.

Nature

When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is get out of bed and turn on my fairy lights. I read for a little while under the warm glow of the lights while the sun is not yet visible in the winter morning. I am reading a book about Nature right now – stories of walk...

Walden

I wanted to start this blog post with a quote. I started flicking through Walden, which I have just finished reading, for one that would be appropriate. But then I realised any choice would be arbitrary, for the wisdom is so deep within the book that any choice would leave m...

The United States Needs Fewer Bus Stops

Excellent piece, seemingly counterintuitive but makes a very good case. Rome has done a lot in the past couple of years to improve the bus service, not by removing stops, but by adding "platforms" that give busses priority, and informative shelters.
