Lessons learned from the problem solving of “fixing” a recent “broken record”. In summary:1. sometimes waiting can (partially) fix a problem or reduce its severity2. applying reasoning and practical math & science (e.g. mechanics & acoustics) to diagnose and take acti...
Discussed Venn diagrams with a couple of friends this morning, especially in the context of illustrating the utility of including all 3 or 4 of a specific set of design principles when creating certain kinds of things, and learned about the difference between Venn diagrams an...
Things I want to remember
I wrote this a few days ago, inspired by Things I Want to Remember by A Graceful Life. I planned to add more to the list but I didn't end up finishing it. With that said, I do want to publish what I have, as a little snippet of four things that caught my eye on one evening l...
Art, technology; change
When I started to study art history, I had a feeling that I may no longer spend as much time reading about and experimenting with technology. This has turned out to be true in many senses: I have spent countless hours reading textbooks and literary texts, and writing essays....
Links from this month
I have been saving a lot of links to things I have read and appreciated this month. And since it is Blaugust and many of my friends and other writers whose works I enjoy are blogging, I have been reading more blog posts too. I thought I would share an excerpt of what I have ...

First moments
When I got out of bed this morning, I felt a chill from the autumn air that had been flowing through the room since yesterday evening. The air was cooled by midnight and would soon be warmed by the burgeoning sun rising over the hills. The seasons are changing. I can feel it...
Parasocial grief. This week we lost a cheerleader. Days before that we lost a professor. A few weeks ago a musician. I knew of these individuals, had never met them, fairly certain they had no idea who I was. I was either a fan of their work, or sympathetic to their struggles...
Latest strange “AI” (LLM) behavior in the #indieweb community: the same entity that showed up a few days ago (for a second time) joined the IndieWeb Slack (a bridge to our IRC) yesterday, introduced itself again, and seemingly engaged in human-like chat behavior.https://chat....
Organising physical artefacts
I love admiring spaces and thinking about how they work but, when it comes to the physical spaces I use most or every day – my bedroom, my desk, my bookshelves – I haven’t spent as much time thinking about decoration. When an environment functions, I don’t often think about ...

There is so much to love about this talk: James, his energy, his messages … Being in the room for it live at #btconf was something special, but even if you missed it (why?!? 😉), watching it now comes pretty close.
But … I thought Kimi K3 was Claude?!? 🤔
“OpenDAW is an impressive undertaking from @andremichelle, and I hope to see it go from strength to strength.” Whoop whoop! 😉🙌https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2026/08/22/opendaw-review/
Then add (palm) sugar and fish sauce, onions, potatoes, chicken, or whatever ingredients you like. I also always like to add one cinnamon stick, two star anise, and two tablespoons of tamarind paste.
🤫 And here’s the secret: boil one can of coconut milk down until there’s almost only the oil left, then add the Massaman paste. Then slowly (slowly! No, even slower!) add another can of coconut milk, bit by bit, so that it keeps simmering the whole time. Don’t let it cool down too much, but also don’t let it boil too hard. You always want to preserve that red oil swimming on top… 😋
It’s Massaman day. 😋
