Experimenting with a self-hosted mailing list today. It has been on my to-do list for a while to get a basic version going, although I wonder if anyone would prefer email digests.

A340 Lavatories
Have not been on an aircraft where the lavatories are in the cargo hold, below the passenger cabin before. Lufthansa opted to do this on their A340-600s in order to make more room for economy seats. It reminds me of the lower level on an Amtrak train.

Bridging and My Time of Late
Lately, I have been writing a lot over on Gadget Wisdom, where I write more tech themed stories, about self-hosting. That isn t exactly uncommon, it is a popular topic for many people. But what does that do in relation to my longstanding practice of working on tools for my website? The issue has been that Continue reading "Bridging and My Time of Late"
Visiting the Wedding of the Water

The West Branch begins in Schoharie County and flows down into Delaware County, passing the Cannonsville Reservoir before paralleling Route 17.

I ve been following the news of late, and it is particularly depressing. Professionally, one of the things I hate the most is that philosophy of tearing everything down and then figuring out how to rebuild it, instead of coming up with a thoughtful and well researched plan and then slowly and deliberately implementing it. Not Continue reading ""

I ve been watching the Hamas hostage releases. Whatever you think of the current situation, there are a lot of questions I have about this.

I found out why it was harder to get a hotel this weekend in San Diego. Apparently, the American Society of Hematologists is having their annual conference and exhibition. I spent over an hour trying to get a ride out of the airport, surrounded by people with conference swag. Not sure how many attendees, but Continue reading ""
Determining Good Syndication Defaults
I ve been very reluctant to set defaults for syndication, making options be selected each time instead. This is a bit problematic because I like to reduce friction. The issue is that I don t want them to be global. I want them to be a bit more granular. For example, a hallmark of a note for Continue reading "Determining Good Syndication Defaults"
