There is no shortage of classic horror gems. From the German expressionist classics of the ’20s to the grim, moodier chillers of the ’70s, I have an embarrassment of riches to choose from every spooky season. However, there are still several horror films that have gone missing over time, ones I would love to see even if they turned out not to be very good. Here are three of them. …

I bought a license for Fantastical before they switched to subscription pricing. I don’t have a particularly busy schedule to manage, but I liked their calendar sets and how they handled the month view on both their macOS and iOS apps. All the features I paid for were available—until today. When I opened Fantastical this morning and clicked on the calendar set, a dialog box popped up that couldn’t be …

Trip:48 Nights: 167-169 We planned to be at Grayson Highlands State Park in SW Virginia this past weekend. Hurricane Helene had other ideas. When I checked Tuesday for alternate camping options in the state park system, I found 6 sites at Kiptopeke State Park, and nothing else. At least it made the decision easy.

Storyville: War Game was shown last week in the UK on the BBC, and is a documentary film about ‘gaming’ the future. In fact, it is gaming a very specific future: after the violent attack on Capitol Hill in 2021, it games the 2024 American Presidential election in the event that the election result is disputed. It was directed by Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber: It’s on BBC iPlayer, for …

Warning: this is a post about very boring yakshaving, probably only of interest to people who are trying to upgrade Hugo from a very old version to a new version. But what are blogs for if not documenting one’s very boring yakshaves from time to time? So yesterday I decided to try to upgrade Hugo. There’s no real reason to do this – I’ve been using Hugo version 0.40 to …

I have no use for SR-01, but I want it all the same

The Wordpress and open source communities have lots of thoughts on Matt Mullenweg’s actions after his talk at WordCamp. Much of this commentary has overlooked what I think is a core concern at the heart of Matt’s argument: the growing role and influence of private equity in tech, particularly in open source. PE firms raise money from institutional investors and high net worth individuals to buy companies, restructure them, and …

It starts tomorrow and we are having a great conversation at Remedy chai cafe about why meetings matter for folks studying leadership. Here are some of the insights. —- Meetings are microcosms for leadership practice. They are places to encounter one’s own leadership gifts and leadership challenges. What you learn when you host …

Friends, Readers, Countrymen, lend me your eyes! As sadly expected, the hiatus is going to continue through October. I am making good progress on my writing, but still need to keep focusing. I am currently, I believe, on track for us to go back to normally scheduled posts in November, but I don’t want to make any promises as I want to be sure that the book comes out as …
