    Bikepacking Vermontshire: Part 8
    For this year's bike tour, Meg and I rode our ATBs from Littleton, New Hampshire, in a loop around Vermont, and back to New Hampshire. Along the way, we checked out some new spots, and visited some old favourites. We connected it all with a collection of class 4 roads, singletrack, dirt roads, and -- occasional -- pavement. On the eighth day, we rested. OK, I took a ride up …

    Lot 172
    Me, tracing my fingers in and out of the coarse surface of cupmarks on a stone in the sun, with red paint marks on the rock beside me. Again. Not in Faifley, but Oslo. To be precise this happened on a walk with fellow archaeologist Ingrid Mainland in Ekebergparken, on the south side of the harbour fjord of the Norwegian capital city. The park is better known for a stunning …

    Hiking in the Yukon
    I recently took a trip to the Yukon (and two days in Alaska) with my partner Elaine. The trip was mostly hiking focused and generally enjoying the nature. We took almost two weeks which was a good amount of time for us. Enough to not rush and soak in a lot of nature but not so long that our legs really started hurting and we started missing the comforts of …

    Original: Print Dress, c.1825
    I like the stripes on this one: the contrast between the vertical stripes on the bodice and skirt, the horizontal stripe on the skirt, and diagonal of the bias-cut sleeves. The maker even made the effort to align the stripes on the cape and bodice at the center front.Dress, cotton, c.1825. From LACMA.

    BOOKS & PUNKS
    As many already know the book CRYPTOPUNKS: FREE TO CLAIM that I worked on most of last year, which is being published by Phaidon, is currently at the printers. As far as I know it should be in people’s hands in early December. I may or may not have seen a copy already, and in either case I can attest that it turned out beautifully. This thing is a brick, …

    Botober 2024
    Back by popular demand, here are some AI-generated drawing prompts to use in this, the spooky month of October!Longtime AI Weirdness readers may recognize some of these. That's because this is a throwback list, all the way back to the times of very tiny language models. These models had not feasted on huge chunks of the internet, but had sipped delicately on hand-curated artisanal datasets. They trained rather slowly on …

    Two weeks with uv
    Two weeks ago, I published my article UV – I am (somewhat) sold. Since then, a lot has changed for me. I switched all my personal projects to uv from poetry. I have set up a plan how and when to convert our company projects to uv. I am a fan. (And I still hope that I don’t get stomped by the elephant.) After my post, I received a lot …

    on writing
    I often think about writing a feature like writing a story. If I do my job well, it is coherent and easy to read, write, and maintain. When there's a lot of indirection, it feels like a book with its pages out-of-order. There seems to be a lot of similarities as well. We have readers, it just so happens that our readers are machines -- as well as our colleagues. …

    Orioles 5, Red Sox 3 / Red Sox 5, Orioles 3
    In the waning minutes before the Orioles postseason begins I ought to mark down, as is my habit, some notes on games I saw; by complete chance I was visiting Harvard CMSA (where I talked with Mike Freedman about parallel parking) the same week the Orioles were at Fenway, so I caught a couple of games. Tiny notes: No amount of upgrades can make Fenway not feel old. The building …

    Web Components are not Framework Components — and That’s Okay
    Disclaimer: This post expresses my opinions, which do not necessarily reflect consensus by the whole Web Components community. A blog post by Ryan Carniato titled “Web Components Are Not the Future” has recently stirred a lot of controversy. A few other JS framework authors pitched in, expressing frustration and disillusionment around Web Components. Some Web Components folks wrote rebuttals, while others repeatedly tried to get to the bottom of the …

    Essential Metals from Antiquity to AI
    Ancient indigenous people used seven so-called “Metals of Antiquity”: gold, silver, copper, tin, lead, iron, and mercury. Today, our complex societies require a much longer list of metals. We build components for power generation, transportation, health care, consumer electronics, defense, and many more sectors from metals and other minerals that are sourced from around the world. Industries will need to find many new metal and mineral sources, and open new …
