No Small Library for me, but a small library for me
I was disappointed after the fall board meeting of the Virginia Glee Club Alumni and Friends Association to head to the door of the Small Special Collections Library at the University of Virginia, only to note that they have discontinued Saturday hours. A shame, as much of the research that made up the history I … Continue reading "No Small Library for me, but a small library for me"

Review of Wildwood (movie, 2026), directed by Travis Knight. Rated 5 out of 5. Wildwood was a really fun movie. I've seen most of the LAIKA movies and have been seeing trailers for Wildwood on most movies over the last few months, but I wasn't sure how much I'd like it.
The soup the whole soup and nothing but the soup so help me soup.
Feature request for twitter. I'd like to have a page listing all my tweets today on one page, so I can link to them from my blog. I would like to see twitter go back to its leading role in support of the web.

Mixtape - Monthly Mixtape - Oct 2026
Two new attributes added to the source:inReplyTo element in RSS.chat feeds, feedUrl and feedTitle. These were requested by developers, and they seemed useful and reasonable, so we added them. Still more work to do here in creating a world wide discourse system, not one based on a single central node. RSS has more work to do for us. ;-)

uh ... his struggle
a surprisingly engaging short from the BBC on karl ove knausgard. i haven’t quite been able to bring myself to grind thru his stuff, but i do appreciate the appeal. this is definitely one dude who’s left it all on the page.

you shall know them by their carbon footprints
The Ultrawealthy Produce More Carbon Pollution Than Nearly Half of Humanity
the numbers outlined here don’t seem too far off when you start doing the math and they’re kind of mind-boggling. i’d be super interested in seeing the methodology here and what’s going on under the hood. if you were going to pick on something here, i suspect it’s the fact that the methodology builds the answer. but then again, there’s plenty of historical data on this front so that seems largely moot. at this point we’re really just knuckling down on how much.

what up killer mike?
It’s Hard To Be A Rich Radical | Defector
defector updates yours truly on the latest state of things with killer mike of RTJ. i haven’t dug into the purported particulars here, but it would seem that killer mike is not helping the cause like one would hope.
BTW, I have been writing on Twitter the way I used to write on my blog. Paragraph after paragraph, and I go on, but I do eventually re-read it and it has the energy I haven't had in a long time. I think people now realize we are stuck. And in networking systems, I'm the guy you go to when you want to get unstuck. Reminds me of that great speech in Michael Clayton: "I'm not the guy you kill. I'm the guy you buy! Are you so fucking blind that you don't even see what I am? I'm the easiest part of your problem, and you're gonna kill me? You're so fucked."
