Greetings Friends! It is tree fruit harvest season and nothing much else can make me smile more!! This morning found me picking peaches from the two peach trees in Cedar’s play yard.

I am a long time user and fan of Wise, since it was called Transferwise. I even used it to transfer money from Italy to Hungary (€->HUF) when I got married, so I’m emotionally attached to it. It’s cheap, reliable, the app works fine and the site is simple and fast. <plug> Go sign up and earn us both a reward. </plug> Anyway, one my few gripes with it is …

I try to at least spend a few minutes to see if I can get over that initial hump of getting started. But that hasn’t been working. Routine has been particularly helpful for me. Until my environment or schedule gets knocked around. I would do something for …

DefenderOfBasic: “one of the most popular tools I ever made was this thing to explain how JPEG images are created out of these mathematical patterns … made in a couple hours for a talk, didn’t even bother trying to style it/make it look good.” Despite this, it is good. Try the jpeg-sandbox here. The “Free Choice” Dilemma The idea of feeding minerals “free choice” to livestock came about by a …

I'd been hoping to launch a better tool for lexical set analysis this month, but it didn't work out.

This supplement will examine these issues from a UK context in more detail. The role of investment as an integral component of GDP and long-term economic growth is …

We’re here to make a case for black and white movies. We know our position makes us sound like a Luddite, which we are, let’s face it.
