We got a new game for the holidays: Everdell. Still figuring it out but it’s great so far. Looking forward to checking out the expansions too.

A tabletop game setup featuring a forest-themed board with cards, tokens, and game pieces arranged neatly.

Hunting an owl to save an ecosystem

washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/hunting-an-owl-to-save-an-ecosystem/?tid=aud_rsslink&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports

Biologist Daniel Hofstadter and a tiny band of researchers have been carrying out the most expansive barred owl removal effort to date. It’s a project that has killed more than 1,000 owls in Northern California since 2019 across nearly 10 million acres. The biologists believe that their work protecting spotted owls — a species that launched a conservation movement more than three decades ago — will ultimately help safeguard the ecosystem in one of the last old growth forests in the West. 

Host Martine Powers speaks with national climate reporter Joshua Partlow about the motivation behind the barred owl removal, the brief history of spotted owls in the area, and the ornithologist who carries out the shootings.

Today’s show was produced by Bishop Sand. It was edited by Monica Campbell and mixed by Justin Garrish.

Default Apps 2024

I wanted to update my list from my Default Apps 2023 list, but as I went through it… I haven’t really changed anything at all. What does that mean? I’m set in my ways? It doesn’t really feel like that, it feels more like I’m pretty happy with my choices and haven’t been sufficiently convinced […]

I created a new demo site demo-photos.micro.blog to showcase some photo blog features in Micro.blog. It doesn’t use any custom code… Just the home page photos plug-in and Micro.blog collections. For photos, I imported my old Instagram archive.

It has been a very nice Christmas Day. Happy Holidays, everyone. 🎄 Also saw two movies this week that I enjoyed: An Almost Christmas Story, a short stop-motion film on Netflix; and A Complete Unknown, which was excellent. Listening to Bob Dylan ever since. 🍿

I have a fairly large and old C application that was written to run on the Mac and Windows. I still use it today on a relatively modern Macintosh. I wonder if it will soon be possible to turn this project over to an AI like ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity or some other, to convert it to run on Linux, where it should be able to run in perpetuity, or at least a lot longer than on the Macintosh. I would be willing to pay a few thousand dollars to do this work.
