We should be supporting the networks we want to succeed, but our lack of attention to them also shows how much we value them outside of flowery words. Boost away Matt talked about the continued decline of Mastodon, and FlohGro chimed in to say he'll boost more because you should tell your followers you think something is awesome. Yes I'd rather Mastodon succeed because it's open and not algorithmic. It's a much better place to be than Facebook, Instagram, or X (Twitter). At the same time I find…

2026-10-24Hello!In Central Park, I walked by this row of white flowers.This was going to be one of the experimental dizzy shots, taken five minutes after the vertigo shot that I posted already. But I couldn't think of anything creative, so I snapped this composition and moved on.I've heard somewhere that the camera height should match the eye level at which I first encountered the subject. I believe it to be true, so let me explain.A plushie, for example, should be photographed on floor level…

A gorgeous cable car ride up to 3466m rewards you with a stunning view of Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco), the highest peak in the Alps at a whopping 4807m, and the Italian Alps surrounding it. Down below lies the tiny but charming village of Courmayeur, where the cable car departs from. Photo taken on Thursday, 22 Oct 2026

Last night I travelled into Dublin for another concert by National Symphony Orchestra Ireland, this time under the direction of guest conductor Julio García Vico in a programme of music heavy with French and Spanish influences. The undoubted star of the show was classical guitarist Thibaut Garcia, who is French but has Spanish ancestry, who played the Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquin Rodrigo. I’ve loved this piece for ages, and have several recordings of it, but although it’s been a familiar…

I first went to China in 2011, racing for the Lotus/Jetalliance team at Zhuhai in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup. It was a delightful experience, but also a glimpse of China's gritty side. Zhuhai had an unapologetically industrial look, with a permanent, low-hanging haze. The parade through the city felt like the crowd had been instructed to attend on pain of... consequences. Brutalist aesthetics through and through.From 2013 through 2019, I raced nearly every year at the Shanghai…

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. Sentinels of our streets (17.09.13) Boris described it as “a national treasure of global importance”, and yet one of London’s least-known museums boasts an average of just 10 visitors a day; it is the British Postal Museum &…

Here in Edinburgh we had the biblical downpour from Storm Austen and are battening down the hatches for the high winds forecast for the next one. Yesterday I spent the day wandering the streets in the rain after a dentist appointment, trying to shake off a frozen face. It didn’t really work but when I got home I made a huge pot of ‘heaven and earth’ (apple and potato) soup and a pear cake, using up some of the huge allotment potato haul: some apples and windfall pears. Forgot to photograph the…

I’m happy with how Linking Things turned out. I’ve tried this effort before and it never landed right, this one did. See more about it. I also gave it an MCP server so I can have Claude dig around in my links. And Thingy has them too.

I recently was in Toronto for a unconference with Mozilla. During that whole week I spend a lot of time with the Drift Zero and created a lot of mixes. Some were really good, others less so. A few stood out, which I needed to half redo because of a few mistakes with the volume and needing to stop the recording for reasons… I have been listening to this mix over and over again recently and it seriously rocks with a number of classic Techtrance tunes mixed in with a bunch of new tunes I recently…

The most reassuring sentence in Australian finance this year was never said by anyone at the Reserve Bank. It was written by a comedy site, and it promises that the central bank will stop raising interest rates as soon as the economy collapses.That's the headline of a Shovel piece from the end of September. In the fake version, RBA chief Michele Bullock urges people not to worry about the latest rate rise. It is only a temporary measure, according to the article, "that will be addressed once…

Been a busy week so catching up on all the things. codex seems to have added a new background daemon for something. Searching online or asking it doesn’t yield a coherent or comprehensive answer on what it might be. If anyone has more information, would love to learn more about it. My socials are in the footer.

For no other reason than middle-age nostalgia, I asked Claude for a list of “spy-themed role playing games.” It gave me the following:James Bond 007 (Victory Games, 1983). Widely considered the best of the era. Its “Hero Points” let players bend the story in cinematic, Bond-film ways, and it has excellent chase rules.Top Secret/S.I. (TSR, 1987). TSR’s own revision of Top Secret, with a cleaner system and a pulpier, more action-oriented feel.Espionage! (Hero Games, 1983), later revised as Danger…

Later today, we'll get in the car and head the other direction on I 26, up to Bristol. You might say, "Wait, it's not Sunday." No, it's not, but because today is Faith Lutheran's Chili Fest, we're going up today and spending the night in a hotel. It's been a month of a lot of travel for me, and today is the last overnight trip.Tomorrow is Reformation Sunday; a week from today is Halloween. The World Series is underway, and my spouse who has been a baseball fan from childhood is more excited…

I shut down my web servers on Thursday. I’ve had a home of my own on internet for 27 years. A good innings but a sad day. A home-owner no more! I’m renting now. Old websites have been archived to static HTML and moved to a shared host. I said goodbye to some old apps. You’re reading this because I moved my blog to GitHub Pages. Lost some functionality on the way, but security is now someone else’s problem. You know, I’ve hosted my own blog on my own iron since 2000 except for 6 weeks in 2004…

It was about 9:00 p.m. and I wasn’t tired, so I asked Claude for a spy movie less than 100 minutes long. It suggested a few, including Pickup on South Street from 1953.Turns out, the entire film is on YouTube, and has a running time of just 77 minutes. (Pete would be so happy…)It was… okay. The “spy” aspect is just a MacGuffin — a pickpocket lifts a woman’s wallet on the subway. Turns out it has microfilm in it. She’s a courier for a traitor and everyone wants it back.I mean, let’s face it, the…

This one was not easy –But necessary things are not always easy things to do.And so –Here it goes. There is nothing quite like the moonlight when you sit on the roof somewhere and look up. I love this. I love being far above the ground and far above the regular world.I can call this a safe place, despite perhaps the dangers of falling.But I know I won’t fall.Not from up here. I have been doing this rooftop thing in one way or another for decades now.I remember being a kid.I don’t know how old I…

For out of black minutes of madness ever more radiant,The patient one wakes on the petrified threshold,And is ardently clasped by cool blue and the gleaming decline ofthe autumn,The silent house and the legends of the forest,Measure and law and the moonlit paths of the departed.–Georg Trakl A blank canvas seems to contain every possible image until the first stroke starts taking them away, so begins our story with a picture that cannot quite be settled, two painted lines, one brown and one…

Deco On The Radio With their sophomore album, Dreamhouse, released today, Nottingham synth-pop outfit Deco have been working to establish a colourful collage of energetic synth pop. Accompanying the album is On the Radio, a pulsing piece of cinematic electronic wonder. Evoking the kind of nostalgia I felt listening to Chromeo’s tongue-in-cheek Old 45’s, Deco play things a little straighter here with On The Radio, whilst channeling the feeling of your song playing on the radio. The idea is…

There are reports of iPhone Duo, the just-released foldable iPhone from Apple, having broken screens on the very first day of usage. Let's hope John Ternus is not vacationing in Hawaii right now… ~ Link: Snap, Crackle…iPhone Duo?, by Andy Ihnatko

At the start of the month, my husband had to go to Amsterdam for work. I hitched a ride 🙂 Pictures taken with the regular campsnap camera cranes and a bridge Canal with bikes and flowers Hotel de l’europe Snack time! Coffee and a croissant View from the terrace A church. A canal with a churchtower at the end. View from the car window, loved the lamp post I love this picture! Street art and the view behind me Weird clouds, Arens to the left I think???

There are many books one admires, Jon Fosse’s Septology or perhaps Gerald Murnane’s Barley Patch for instance. While reading them, I am excited by their distinctive nature and the formal achievement, but cannot imagine returning to either. Eighty pages into Nadezhda Mandelstam’s Hope Against Hope, I am already anticipating rereading and tracking down its sequel. I am thinking through an intelligence so fiercely alive that I am exhilarated even as I am chilled by the world she describes. It…
