Dear reader,Recent conversations around “Hardcore” IndieWeb have surprised me. Apparently, writing your blog isn’t sufficient, as everyone should eventually build their own websites and stop relying on third-party blogging...

Catch and Kill is Craig Schaefer's new book. It's a cyberpunk and magic heist story, which will be familiar to fans of Shadowrun. Set in the future of the author's First Story universe (the home of the Daniel Faust and Harmony Black...

Thanks to Ruben for surfacing this lovely post, and for his own thoughtful addition. Sylvia's journey from church upbringing to "nature as spirituality" mirrors my own path somewhat. Church I think I've always been an atheist; I never...

He’s hardly a household name today. But Utah-born John Held, Jr. helped create the popular imagery of the 1920s. Held made Jazz Age icons out of bobbed-hair flappers, college guys in raccoon coats, sporty women wielding tennis rackets,...

In July 2026, Linus Torvalds told the Linux kernel mailing list that Linux is not an anti-AI project and that anyone who objected could fork the code or walk away. The trigger was Sashiko, an automated review system whose published...

Into another world How I love listening to music! Immersing myself in the world of a song when I’m alone: this, to me, is similar to the feeling of reading a good book. Often, after having read a great book or having listened to a...

I regularly get marketing emails off the back of this site. "Here's a free license for our tool" or "can we put a link to our service in a post?" At least back then they were slightly human. Now all I get are AI generated shitty emails...

Born 100 years ago today was Valerie Eliot (née Fletcher), the second wife of the poet, and apparently the one who made him happy. The couple lived in Kensington, just around the corner from Ivy Compton-Burnett, and their paths crossed...

August 2026. Frome. A long, long, day in Frome moves towards its conclusion with an actual NEW Beer Guide pub west of town, away from the cutting-edge art and scary shops, and neatly kept courtyards. The Royal Oak is your roadside pub on...

Let me just say that again, because I can’t quite believe it. My son, our little bundle of joy and chaos, starts school today. He turns 5 in October and is very very ready for school. I think. No, he is. He is most definitely ready, and...
