14 years, still going strong. People don’t realise that “Just get a Brother laser; it’s fine” is the highest possible compliment for printers. If you want a printer to (1) sit near-dormant in deep sleep for weeks or months on end, and then (2) immediately print what you send to it, properly, every single time and then go to sleep again, then… just get a Brother laser printer. Somehow, in this…

Monty Python’s World Cup Team of Philosophers - video Hegel is arguing that reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically, it exists only in the imagination and Marx is claiming it was offside.

I missed Anil Dash’s lovely essay covering some of the history of Markdown
I was very late to the Markdown side of things, however text files were always my jam, certainly professionally (there is not a callcenter agent in the world that didn’t have a thin Notepad window taking up a small slice on the left or right hand side of their screens jotting notes and copying and pasting things in their tools.) In a tech news cycle dominated by trillions of dollars of personal…

Starting to think that restricting cigarettes and discouraging sex was a mistake. “It’s not really enjoyable to make music now… it takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, you have to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of time they spend making music.” - Mikey Shulman CEO/Founder of…

A Drilling Rig Stands Surrounded by Leafless Trees
We had a new well dug to connect to the house today. The old well wasn’t deep enough and the mineral content was causing pipe damage (not to mention water quality issues). The boy got to witness the entire process. As the drilling proceeded (about 220 feet!) we got to see the different layers (gravel, clay, sand, a mixture of all 3) the deeper they went. Little 5 year old mind blown.…

It’s the beginning of tick season in Nebraska. Today I learned that the Lone Star Tick may cause alpha-gal syndrome , a sudden allergy to meat. Symptoms range from stomach pains all the way to anaphylaxis. The Lone Star Tick has migrated westward and is considered established in my county (and others) in Nebraska. What horrid little creatures.

I keep wondering how many shocks this country can take. Is it a Tik-Tok attention span? Is it all performative reality TV? Probably a mix of all of the above. Maybe we are settling deeper in the “Who Cares Era” . Still hanging on to every word here: “In the Who Cares Era, the most radical thing you can do is care.” - Dan Sinker
