As I've said before, when it comes to humor, punching up can feel pretentious, punching down is unseemly, but punching yourself is always funny. Gina Wynbrandt excels at this sort of comedy of self-humiliation, and it's been exciting to see her slowly work herself back into cartooning again after a long break. In I'm The Center Of Attention, Wynbrandt satirizes social media attention-seeking culture in a hilariously blunt manner, interpolating …

Personal Server with Docker Compose Over the last couple of weeks I updated the server this blog and many more stuff is running on. I decided to move (nearly) everything to Docker. My previous setup was much more traditional. My server runs Debian Linux. A single Apache server provided different virtual hosts, the different services used different PHP FPM pools, each using an individual user. My goal with the Docker …

Министерството на носталгията предупреждава: този продукт може да съдържа печени чушки. Както лошото време отминава и е неразделна част от природата, така и лошите моменти от миналото са важна част от живота. Според Защото обичам лошото време, болезнените спомени не са за пренебрегване и заключване надълбоко, защото това ни кара да зацикляме и пречи на развитието и в крайна сметка на щастието.

Ad/Odds: Winston-Salem as Show Town SupremeNewspapers.com gifted us over Mother’s Day weekend with free access to their archive, opportunity to dig among microfilmed pages, reminder anew of damage done to precious print when libraries converted their lot to ugly photostat and junked original pages. Sad outcome for much of what had survived but no longer does. I at least was able to sift Winston-Salem Journal pages for what might bring …

Hi, I know the “Name That Trauma” is usually about movies or TV, but there’s a book about ghosts I read as a kid that I’ve been trying to find for years and I thought someone might recognize what book I’m talking about. It was a book about “real" ghosts. It was blue and oversized and had a picture of a ghostly woman riding a carriage on the cover. She …

COROS has announced a smattering of new features for both their watches, as well as their Dura bike computer. In the case of the bike computer, this firmware update will mark the resumption of shipping, after the company halted shipping back shortly after launch, due to issues with the mounting tabs on the Dura breaking in K-Edge bike computer mounts (arguably the most popular 3rd party mount company out there). …

December 29th, 2002, was the most terrifying car ride of my life. I sat in the backseat, knuckles white as I grasped the car seat, silently praying that the unthinkable would not occur while knowing in my heart that it would. We would get into an accident and never make it home. And I had no way to protect the brand new human riding beside me. Looking back, I know …
