My weekly blog post. Links this week include an elemental chart showing which ones are safe to lick, the Usenet Archives and a repository of 3D scanned images of publically accessible restrooms. You can meet Emerald, the mosaic kitty and I talk about my recent hip surgery. Plus, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.

I’ve seen a half-dozen concerts at the Greek Theatre over the past 20 or so years, most recently last week. Every time the sound balance has been perfect, no matter what type of act is playing. Vocals, orchestras, electric guitars, all sound perfectly clear. Even the “obstructed view” seats way off to the side are still pretty good.
The scenery is beautiful. It’s outdoors, surrounded by the hills and trees of Griffith Park above Los Angeles. Depending on the season, it might already be dar…

This post is my contribution to the September 2026 IndieWeb Carnival topic "Parenting", hosted by winther:
https://winther.sysctl.dk/indieweb-carnival-september-2026-parenting/
My parents are good people, and I think about this often. About how lucky I am to have had a childhood free from abuse, trauma, or neglect. To have had an adolescence where I was encouraged, supported, and redirected towards interests and passions that have stayed with me into adulthood. In this life I have been blessed i…

It's the sixth of September already, somehow. Summer finally feels as though it's at an end, with the temperature outside right now a chilly +9C°, and the overcast sky a slate pewter with a biting wind. This is my absolute favourite kind of weather—no worries of sunburn and heatstroke. Of course, this is merely temporary, as we're going to reach a sunny high of +23C° on Wednesday. But for now, the chill is kind.
All the swaying leaves and foliage are still green—I can't help but question if they…

The first week back at work.
Happenings
So yeah, I started up back at work for the new school year. All the usual stuff to deal with. Updates to government policies to read. Leadership imploring all staff to do better. Chronic pain flares up with the stress. Still, I’m in a different classroom this year and it’s better than expected. My previous classroom had years (like, 10 years) of junk built up in old filing cabinets I never did get around to sorting out, so it was nice to come in to a relat…

Cat pics from the summer house
First post since Blaugust was over, pretty easy to fall out of established routine. Even though it also was my birthday this week, so I have an excuse. Probably last crazy week out of this visit home, summer is over, birthday season almost finished, just a couple of things left to sort out before travelling.
Monday was still Blaugust with my final posts. I did play more MMOs with Stars Reach and SpiritVale. Did play more Breathedge 2 right before it released in Ear…

I use the ISO weeks from Monday to Monday, so ISO Week 2026-W35 is the week of 2026-08-24/2026-08-30.
Churn or Calm
You know the analogy of how your favorite waterfowl (duck or swan) appears effortlessly gliding above the surface, while they’re ferociously paddling out of sight under the water? That’s very much what the tail end of August has felt like.
Thankfully there’s a lot of progress happening amid the stress, but it’s not all observable yet. That’s why I ended up participating in Blaugust…

The weather forecast was amazing, and I had a good night sleep. I really itched to go out and we did!
We went to a museum about an hour’s drive from the house, and it’s famous for its amazing sculpture garden and one of the largest van Gogh collections in the world.
It was so so so wonderful. Here are some pictures from the visit

Welcome to Genetic Linkage, a series where I share updates and interesting links for the week.
launch 'em.
Bloggers, I'm pretty tired after Blaugust. It's been harder to sit down and write this week, so I mostly wanted to take a break from posting all week. I still managed to find several cool things to talk about though.

Thinking about music ahead of the music memories blog carnival and I need to exorcise these ear worms that are plaguing me.
The other week I watched Jurassic Park. It's still a great film. In part I thought to watch it because I heard the theme tune weeks earlier and the Jurassic Park theme is possibly my ultimate ear worm. Once it gets in it's there for weeks. So I thought I might as well watch the film and be singing it a few weeks more.
Last week we were away at my in-laws and did a forty-eig…

First off, credit where credit is due. I pilfered the idea for this post from Mark Rogers who writes the Newsonaut blog. Apparently it’s a questionnaire that has been doing the rounds across various indie blogs for a while. However, it happens to ask some interesting questions about one’s reading habits. I read a book every month or so and I supplement this by listening to a lot of audiobooks. Yes, I’m aware they’re not the same thing entirely but both offer a means to consume and digest a book.…

We are back with some more actual video game releases here in week thirty-six.
Fantasy Critic League – Like Fantasy Football, but for Video Games
We had four titles lined up for release in the league this week. Surely somebody much have made out with that many titles in play. But first we have to stop and look at where we ended up last week on the scoreboard.

First out of the gate was The Blood of Dawnwalker, a open world dark fantasy title.

For a little while I have been using YouTube way more, and even paid for the Lite subscription model, simply to test it out.
Honestly, it hasn’t been too bad, and I actually really, really enjoy a lot of the videos I’ve gotten through the algorithm.
But of course, YouTube Shorts have caught up with me and continue to be a very annoying problem, wasting seconds, minutes and hours of my time at every moment.
The algorithm does show some interesting things, or funny content I enjoy, but things go d…

Today’s TDC says:
Dan Hon wrote a clever script (and recipe) to train an A.I. to generate British placenames. There just could be places such as “Chorkwheal”, “Storton of Brook”, and “Kinindworthorpe Marmile”, right?
I chose Howelyple, and headed over to NightCafe. I asked for:

Prettier is a JavaScript-based formatter that I use for this very site’s codebase, since it is quite extensible and can handle a wide variety of formats. I recently noticed a specific quirk with it where you need to specifically pre-format JSX in a certain way to get a specific output from it. With this source document and no formatting configured:

At the very beginning of August, I made a hasty and last-minute decision to participate in Blaugust 2026 [1], an indieweb community blogging event that encourages writers to develop their writing habits by posting more frequently. It's an entirely voluntary, honor system, no-stakes situation. Just a way to for those who are already interested in this stuff to absorb a little extra motivation from being part of a community effort.
In a recent post about answering song title questions, I touched o…

This was gonna be kind of a copout blog just to score one more post before the month ends, for reasons that will be explained at the end. However, the usual happened, so I have time to turn it into a bigger retrospective of how blogging's going.
Ambience, if you wish for one:
Publishing on an actual blog rather than posting through it on fedi/bluesky is a completely different feeling. I heard somewhere that you shouldn't tell others you're planning to do something difficult, because your brain w…

Hey There!
It's 7:32 AM EDT, 59°F, Humidity 74%, Wind 5 mph SE, clear
I'm not sure that temperature reading is accurate, because my thermometer reads 62°, but it it a chilly morning. I had to choose between going out on the porch or sitting in the study to write this morning. I chose the study, with the window open. A compromise.
Yesterday after morning routine and a walk, I spent the day experimenting with my new hearing aids. I'm having difficulty adjusting to them for two reasons. The first i…

I want to share a dumb little side note on specifically these posts. One, I often write them throughout the week, as I do things, so I don’t forget. Sometimes they probably feel a bit disjointed for that, but I try to keep a flow. Second, when I write in Joplin, everything gets a date. Either the date written, or the date it gets published on the blog. Like I may write a review without a date, but once its scheduled, I add a date. Its sort of a way to keep track of if I need to push something to…
