We’ve been through a boom, we’re going through some pretty serious consolidation. Did we learn anything, and if so, what? To this end, I’ve come up with a short list …

    Some Retrobatch Droplet Tips
    Dr. Drang and Allison Sheridan have some great tips for adding Retrobatch droplets to the Finder toolbar: Allison Sheridan: My main use of Retrobatch is to make featured images for blog posts that match what most if not all of the social media services will recognize. That droplet thing is money. I keep mine in the toolbar of Finder though since I always have a Finder window open when I’ve …

    At the Match: Bexhill United v Eastbourne United AFC
    There are days when you think: why, exactly, am I here? If that question is on your mind at half time at a football match then you know it’s probably not going exactly the way you want it to go. One of those I shook hands with prior to the game was on his way […]

    Some Clothes I Got in 2024
    But Mousie, thou art no thy-lane, In proving foresight may be vain: The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men Gang aft agley, An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain, For promis’d joy!

Now, I'm going to break down clothes I've purchased …

    Salted butterscotch oatmeal cookies
    There is one cookie that reminds me of Dallas in the 1970s—a chewy oatmeal cookie laced with caramelized butterscotch chips. When I was young, a plate of these was seen... Source

    Day in the life of an autistic CEO
    Alright, simmer down, I know I’m not really a “CEO” because I don’t have a board of directors or a c-suite or anything like that, but “day in the life of an autistic freelance web developer turned LTD company managing director” as a title was just ridiculous. Work with me here guys. I’m writing this post because a) in my opinion, there’s not enough public representation of autistic folk just… …

    Back into Design: CALLing all Language Learning x Technology geeks!
    New Year, New Projects!I am taking this spring term off from teaching, partly to re-energize my batteries which have been rather low on account that I've been going full speed (🚌) since 2018; the pandemic didn't help because teaching increased around that time (not that I am complaining, the cosmos provided something I needed at the time).

    Los Angeles Fire
    The images coming out of Los Angeles this morning are heartbreaking. From the BBC: We don’t yet have concrete answers as to what started the LA fires, it is too early to tell and first responders are still focused on evacuating and tackling the blazes. But, officials have pointed to high winds and drought in the area, which has made vegetation very dry and easy to burn. An important factor …

I’ve played the game over 200 times this year. If …
