For the first time in awhile, copies of two lost episodes of classic Doctor Who have been discovered. Both are from the William Hartnell era and feature the Daleks.

At my mom’s house taking care of things. All the furniture is gone except the piano, so it’s now a sort of standing desk when I need to work.

I just redesigned the Tinypost signup process and this is how a newly created blog on Tinypost now looks like.

The Great Friendship Flattening. “I amass bits of knowledge about my loved ones — my sister’s boyfriend published a poem; my friend left her job — as a spectator, in the same way that I might learn about an influencer’s favorite books…”

Why Movies Just Don’t Feel “Real” Anymore. “A deep dive into the first principles of movie immersion: on perceptual realism, indexicality, haptic visuality, and cinematic qualia.”

First of all, I must thank the comb. And the brush! And my God, the bowl full of mush! My warriors. My champions. This award will be next to you on the bedside table VERY soon. And thanks to the Great Green Room for giving our little ensemble a place to work, to play, to be....

TL;DR: Three weeks of weeknotes in one go. Wrote a blog post about AI grief that hit Hacker News (and got accused of being written by an LLM), fell deep into an Amiga 1200 rabbit hole, soldered the wrong potentiometer onto my Tempest PCB, survived a work trip to California, and spiraled into hardware-ownership doomsday thinking.

I have a draft pull request for Inkwell sync in NetNewsWire. Not totally sure yet what more will be needed or any kind of timeline for merging it. I’ll test over the next few days, but at least the code is out there.

This week, we discuss traveling for reporting and watching way too much DOGE testimony.

Some genius has taken an audio sample of the hum of a grocery store freezer, cleaned it up, and extended it into a 10-hour video. The freezer’s hum, variously compared to Brian Eno’s music and “an electrical gong bath”, went viral enough to warrant an article in the Guardi...

Code is a liquid now.

Movable, shapable, flowing. It’s the first time I haven’t felt trapped by the weight of old code.

This has been in almost all ways a foul season for the Toronto Maple Leafs. They are Canada's daily media poison in the same ways that the Lakers, Cowboys, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and the Dodgers' payroll are America's, and offer similarly scant nutritional value. Bu...

Basketball is meant to be played on blacktop or hardwood. But some big-thinking Big 12 dumbass big-thought it was time to give glass a shot.  

That dumbass is conference commissioner Brett Yormark, who installed a high-tech LED court made of glass for the league tournament, which is being contested this week in Kansas City. Turns out glass is fine for backboards, but, as has been clear since the tourney started, not the floor. So now they're uninstalling it: CBS Sports reported Thursday night that the commissioner, who came to the Big 12 after a run as COO of Jay Z’s Roc Nation, decided to yank his avant-garde surface and replace it with "a traditional hardwood court" forthwith. Yormark said he made the decision after talking to “the coaches of our four semifinal teams.” 

Probably could have added “and a personal injury attorney.”
