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...

Claude helped me

Claude helped me build a thing. There, I’ve admitted it, not that my use of LLMs has ever been a secret. But this was a big thing, a thing I could not have done on my own. I know because I tried, some years ago, and even with good help failed. Then I thought, I know what I w...

Tend To The Small Things

This is a 'title trade': where folks interested in writing collaboratively in a style I'd describe as 'alone together' trade a title for the other to write about. I've done several over the last two y...

Saturday morning

Before I leave this morning, I have to pack some things to read. I picked up a zine and a book on colour and set out to a coffee shop to ease my way into the weekend. I purchased the zine and the book following my reflection on reference works earlier this week, which had me...
