As I’m about to get ready to head to Essen, I thought it might be nice to bring Behold Rome along for the train ride. But I never liked the pre-existing scoring app, so I thought I’d vibe code my own and include the fan-made campaign as well. Enjoy!

It’s here! Just in time for me to shape up a super secret project during my week off.

We’re down to the final four segments, but we only have three walks left to do. The plan for today is to walk segment number 7 and also attach to it the beginning part of number 8. 23km, 870m of ascent, 1250m of descent. Next time, we’ll finish 8th and attach 9th to it, but that’s a problem for future me. I’ll be honest with you, I’m kinda tired of these walks. Especially because this second half stretches across trails I walked countless times before. But I also want to walk the whole loop and…

The baby stayed strapped to my chest on this one as we clambered down the rocks to taste a bit of the salty spray. 21780 Coast Highway, Jenner, California 95450, United States

DOLMENWOLVES - WEDNESDAY #1 The group chose to start at a dungeon. I took the bones of a popular small dungeon, ripped it apart and molded it to fit Dolmenwood. I placed it near the Woodcutters' Encampment and we were good to go. They found their way inside through an old oak and almost immediately heard someone calling for help from a well in the first room. The man in the well turned out to be a Drune called Andramath. The water had dissolved everything he owned. The players weren't sure…

I have heard this track before but I haven't seen the video. This is one the most disturbing music videos I have ever seen. How long before this happens here? As it has happened in other countries.

We are heading towards Black Mirror reality one day at a time. This week, I visited Majestic metro station for the first time since moving to Indiranagar. And I was greeted with this: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/1-yDu_bpatQ?mute=1 FUCK YOU BMRCL. There are ads already on metro trains, on stations, with big LEDs and tall posters and now you won't let passengers stand in peace right at the docking spot. Bengaluru metro is the most expensive metro backed by bonkers ridership numbers,…

Life Darek the increasingly flakey builder failed to visit on any of the four occasions he’d said he would. I don’t mind too much, but the kids could really do with a bath at this point. Still, he says he’s definitely coming tomorrow… Αα appears to be friends with the lady she previously had non-specific beef with at nursery which will hopefully equate to drop-offs no longer being quite such a ball-ache. Now that we have a functioning oven once more, I finally got round to begging some sodo…

I have been thinking about writing about my full name for a while, especially after this incident in which an AI hallucinated my full name. Now that I have a post titled with my full name, it should help our future overlords! Yes, my name is 3 first names. Mine, my fathers and mothers. Apparently, when I was being admitted to school, my mother was adamant that her name should be part of mine. Strangely enough, her colleagues (other teachers and the H.M.) discouraged it, not anyone else. But she…

Working on my writing on weekends is an impossibility. Even on our "chill" at home days, the moment my kids perceive my silent attempts at sitting down with my notebook, they conjure any possible excuse to drag me away into play again. Then we play, it becomes fun, and I am ignored. I decide to write again, and the day becomes a loop of fail attempts.#writing #parentingThank you for following my feed! ♥ Leave a reply here.

pain When I was a kid, I used to watch my mom work a lot after school. One of the things that stood out to me as a dumb child was the fact that she had thousands of unread emails. Of course, I wanted to be a mature adult too - when I opened my first email, it was a bit sad to see no notifications. my first received email, kind of nostalgic in a way Of course, that meant I was signing up for random things to get numbers - turning on notification emails, news updates from MSN, that kind of thing.…

Third time's the charm So, to cut to the chase: I guess I’m a guy who knits, now. I’ve been inspired by knitters such as Cynthia, Anna, and Daniel, (and many more folks!) who not only share their beautiful projects online, but have also helped me a lot with their advice and encouragement. Thank you all! I’ve always had fond memories of knitting: I’ve learned it from my Gran as a child. I don’t remember knitting anything more substantial than a scarf for my stuffed monkey. We made him jeans…

October haul. 3 in means I need to depart with 3 books. Trying to build that sweet spot of a library.

One of the hardest things about being on vacation is missing Truman back home. Mike and Chris are taking care of him and I’m sure he’s hanging out with the dogs, but I still miss him when we’re out of town. I snapped this photo the Friday before we left for vacation. He has taken up with getting into the empty box on my shelves in my home office, usually between 14:30 and 15:00 (2:30 and 3:00 pm). Sometimes he naps, other times it appears that he’s trying to use The Force to will me to give him…

i'm thoroughly surprised at myself and how my art has been going. a week or two ago i got a new sketchbook, mostly because an artist i follow on youtube uses almost exclusively those, when she doesn't make one herself. i've never seen them out in the wild, but the art store with the Good Paper Selection had one last one when i went to replace some used up pencil colors. and something about it really unlocked things for me. i think it's the quality and the size. quality: despite being a…

16:53 - My digestion has been off since last night. I've spent my suddenly free Saturday mostly lying around and sleeping. I need to stop guilt-tripping myself.

When we are in love with someone, we observe everything about them. We notice every little thing. What bothers them. What makes them happy. What irks them. We try to learn them, one day, one moment at a time. We are so consumed by them that even our thoughts are filled with them. We replay the moments we spend together, interpreting what their actions might have meant. Then we stop doing that. There comes a point when we have them, and we stop noticing them. We no longer pay attention to their…

We recently moved from a rural suburb in Massachusetts to a small coastal village in Rhode Island. It’s been transformative, and I wish I’d done it sooner! Trickle-Down Effects Unlike a city, a village has homes with yards. Unlike a suburb, a village has businesses and parks intermixed with homes. It’s the best of both worlds. Being able to walk or bike places has trickle-down effects. Instead of driving 20 minutes one-way to get groceries, I can ride my bike there in 5 minutes. Because the…

Morning coffee with a nice fire.

I'm not sure yet which one I'd get, but for several years I've thought it would be nice to own an EV. There are several reasons. Gasoline prices have always been a factor, especially now. But generally, thought of not being dependent on gas for transportation has long been appealing to me. Other countries are way ahead of the United States in terms of EV adoption and they are seeing benefits such as less dependence on fossil fuels and improved air quality. Speaking of air quality, I live in…

After a bumpy summer, I started settling things down in September. It didn’t go perfectly, but I made progress. I did more fun things – which, for me, is basically anything that doesn’t require much planning or preparation. I went to the Sutton Bonnington show, did some hiking with Mr Spratt, visited Leeds Zine Fair, and spent a good day bimbling around Todmorden with a friend. A big highlight of the month was that visit from Mr Spratt to walk a section of the Calderdale Way. The walk felt…

There are many among us who aren't nearly as clever, smart, driven (hence accomplished) as the best of us. I long ago recognized that I was in the camp of the former. Long ago. ::chuckle:: As such, I've largely worked and existed within my limitations, to the best of how I'm capable. And even with that, haven't accomplished things in the usual ways that signify success in one's endeavors, in the arc of one's given lifespan. This has not troubled me greatly — though perhaps that might indeed be…

No—megalodon is extinct. Can you imagine swimming in the ocean if they were still lurking around? Terrifying!The fossil evidence places its disappearance around 3.6 million years ago. There is no credible scientific evidence that it survives in today’s oceans. Part of me is sad for that, but as I sometimes venture below the waves to scuba dive, I am really, really grateful!But the real

For those new to CabbieBlog or readers who are slightly forgetful, on Saturdays I’m republishing posts, many going back over a decade. Some will still be very relevant while others have become dated over time. Just think of this post as your weekend paper supplement.

Death by Upholstery - by JA Westenberg Curtain Fever (n.): Lavishing care on the décor of a life while the life goes unattended. “She spent three weeks on the logo for a company she hasn’t started. Total curtain fever.” ✍️ Reply by email

The rain made the cool winds a little colder this morning. I must have closed my eyes or maybe I failed to pay attention. But either way, the clock is ticking.October is on its way to a quick finish and moving like a bullet about to shoot from the barrel and explode and be gone. November is right around the corner and moving fast. Either way, I know that you and I are one day closer to an answer.And whether the answer pulls us closer together or sets us farther apart, remains to be seen. All I…

I love chats with my father. There are stories, old memories he dusts off and shares, that make me think. Today he told me about a teacher at his high school. It was a prestigious school. Korea’s first “government” school founded by the Royal Court. His Korean teacher was part of an underground movement that fought to keep Korean alive during the Japanese occupation. Unfortunately he was discovered and tortured. They put bamboo shards under his nails but still he didn’t give up his friends. He…

“The first week in any wet shaving group feels like walking into a conversation halfway through. Somebody posts an SOTD with a three-piece OC and a croap, somebody else asks whether a G5 knot will splay too much for face lathering, and a third person admits their SAD is out of control and announces a 3017. Everyone is being helpful. Almost none of it is in English yet. This almanac is the map. It walks the whole territory in the order you will meet it: the gear, the lather, the shave itself,…

FINALLYI tried to get the belt on with the rod but got nowhere. I got a teeny bit of the belt on the big pulley and that was it. The belt would not cooperate at all and after 30 frustrating minutes I removed the rod. I felt like I had given birth when I got the belt partially on both pulleys then.blurry pic matches my moodI couldn't get the belt to fully engage on either pulley. I did manage to get about 3/4 of the belt onto to the bottom pulley and then I stalled. Even though I got 3/4 of the…
