About Blogging

| blogging |

I go through highs and lows when it comes to blogging. When I first started i wrote all of the time but it was all a bunch of useless meaningless mindless information that no one cared to read.

Then I stopped, switched back and forth from blogger to wordpress several times, and now I am back at it full time. I feel that through my journey I have discovered a lot of things.

Lately I have been getting deeper into the blogging world and actually READING more blogs then writing. It is actually a very good thing. I feel that blogging is more than just senselessly spewing your thoughts into the world, there is a whole community aspect to it.

I dont know if you have heard of the term blogosphere. It basically refers to a collection of similar blogs that have the same topic. For example a few blogs about cooking would go under the cooking blogosphere, and so on.

I am kind of sad because I have absolutely no idea what my blog would go under. I write about politics sometimes, but have way better things to do than be a pundit 24/7. I write about relationships all the time but do not desire to be the next Dr. Phil. I write about news sometimes but do not want to be a news digester. I just feel like my blog is full of random crap and has no sense of direction.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Maybe I need a mission statement or something for this blog Who knows.

Anyway, in the mean time I just wanted to point out that I have really enjoyed reading a lot of great blog lately. Keeps me entertained and inspires me to contribute to the blogging world. (Everyone in my blogroll has an awesome blog)

I have three followers now (including myself. :) It makes me happy. I will give a hug to everyone who follows me.

Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to wildly overthinking things

Friday's big release was Qwen 3.8 27B, an Apache 2 licensed 27B parameter vision-capable LLM from Alibaba's Qwen research lab. I've been looking forward to this one: 27B is an excellent size for running a model on a reasonably specced laptop, and its prede...

Speaking of user interface guidelines, developer Matt Sephton and others compiled many of Apple’s human interface guidelines, starting from 1980, all the way to 2014, including some goodies like early drafts, NeXT, Newton, and so on. Elsewhere, designer Ge...

Birding photos from Dutch Gap on Aug 15, 2026

Birding photos from Dutch Gap on Aug 15, 2026 My best bird photo from this morning is a dragonfly (Eastern Pondhawk, I think). Least Sandpiper Green Heron Red-headed Woodpecker. It's a juvenile, so its head is not actually red yet.
