Bald eagle seen through a scope

Spotted a bald eagle this evening !

Aw man you have to sign in to IMDB now to read user reviews

Wow, they're re-releasing the Neo Geo AES and it will not be emulated or FPGA

Finished reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and now I get what the title refers to and it's not as silly a title as I once thought

If Charlie Brown and Finder had a child

Just about devoured The Story of the Lost Child in the last few days. I'm sad there's no more to read in the series.

No, I don't have Time Machine enabled.

I still don't know what's growing the System Data whenever I delete some files, but at least I was able to free some space by deleting some ollama models. Interestingly, these are considered "System Data", so I guess that it doesn't just include OS files.

macOS is currently using 240G of a 500G drive for "System Data".

Whenever I get down to 1G remaining, I'm able to delete stuff to get it back up to 10-20G free... and then System Data grows and I'm back down 1G or less of space. So tired of this.

Finally updated macOS to Tahoe to develop and test my apps and 🤮

A bit threatening, innit?

A macOS app window for a flashcards app showing a navigation panel on the left with multiple decks and folders and a playlist of flashcards on the right with a play button on the bottom surrounded by a plus button and stats button.

An iPhone app screenshot of a flashcards app showing "Could you tell me how to get to the train station?" on the front of a card and an input area below with word tiles in French jumbled up and a "Reveal Answer" button beneath them.

I'm currently beta testing the next version of my flashcards app and am looking for a few more people to help test it out. It's available for Mac and iOS. DM me your email address if you're interested and I'll add you to the TestFlight build. #mac #iOS #apps

Just learned there was a Japanese idol group that played shoegaze music. Never thought you could combine those two things. #music

I'm about halfway through reading Nicholas and Alexandra and geez you can't help but like the family so much but then feel real sad knowing what befalls them in the end

You're absolutely right! And here's where it gets interesting: It's not a wheel—it's a carousel. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. Let's break this down step by step...

If you haven't watched Costco Fahrenheit on youtube yet, you're in for an animated treat.

I can't believe how good it is: stylish and funny. It's like a cyberpunk version of Heavy Metal.

Reading a book about The KLF and it randomly mentions that Donnie Darko had a director's cut and it did NOT feature Echo & The Bunnymen's The Killing Moon as the song in the opening.

I had no idea the song was changed (never saw that version). Looked it up on youtube and it just doesn't work for me

After basically re-writing the foundation of my flashcards app to use Core Data, I got back to doing some fun stuff: improving the stats screen. #mac

Just finished reading Roadside Picnic, which the film Stalker is based. I really liked it, even though it ended up not being what I expected at all. I thought it would go heavy into the "Visitors" and explain more about them. It doesn't, and that turned out to be a good thing in the end.

One side project I'm building is a Zettelkasten notes app that presents the network of notes as Miller Columns, instead of a traditional network. Notes are small and can be arranged in lists of transclusions, which end up creating links between lists. #zettelkasten

A generation of people saw someone on a stage being applauded for sharing an engaging story and thought "Ooh, that's how I should communicate the businesses lessons I learned from my ongoing divorce."

Was just thinking that we can probably trace back modern day overly-dramatic LinkedIn posts and hustle culture blog slop to TED Talk presentations and even further back to Steve Jobs' presentation style.

The Hacker News comment section is a great place to go if you enjoy bike-shedding in your spare time. Highly recommended!

Saw a girl wearing a Quadrophenia-style green parka complete with WHO logo on the back today. Not something I expected to see in 2025. No scooter though. #mods

Anyway, it's interesting to see devs up in arms about machines being able to their jobs while looking down on artists and musicians who have been feeling the effects a bit longer. We're not special just because we can code. Machines are coming after everyone.

One chapter describes how Ford's mass production assembly line replaced the old method of craftsmen producing cars by hand. I immediately started thinking about the parallels with today's programmers. Are we headed for a world where AI can produce code cheaper and quicker than a human?

Been reading The Machine That Changed the World about how Japanese lean manufacturing was doing a better job (the book is from 1990) of creating value than more traditional mass production assembly lines, which had a lot of inefficiencies.

Wondering if the Oilers will play good hockey ever again

I'm quite enjoying the return to rain and dark skies in Seattle

Gamification is infantilizing. Oh good job doing a thing, here's a fake token since you only understand the world in terms of games and make-believe have no inner motivation other than keeping yourself entertained with flashing lights.

AI has forever ruined the name Al
