A very quick and simple but also delicious tofu marinade for all kinds of dishes.

I've been adding full Kanban board capability to Tabaway today.

apronsI had two small scraps of 7/8" thick poplar that I used to get the 8 aprons for the nightstand from. The short side aprons are only an inch shorter then the long sides. That is because the top is 15 and change by 14 change. Not quite a square and barely a small rectangle.hmm.......The red paint skimmed over - it had a skim coat on it yesterday too when I painted the first coat. What is underneath that seems to be viable and the 2nd coat covered and looks good. I'll find for sure in the…

Alex Co at MP1ST: "According to our sources familiar with the project, Media Molecule’s next game is set to be unveiled and released in 2027. As to what kind of game it is, it’s a social-simulation-type of game, one that’s inspired by titles such as Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon. We were also told it’s not a GaaS (games-as-a-service) title, though we wouldn’t be shocked if it had GaaS elements in it." This sounds like a return to form in a handful of ways. First, we get a smaller scale than…

I use my iPhone to say 'good morning' to my family if I don't get to see them in person. I use my iPhone to listen to audiobooks, podcasts, and music. I read newspapers, magazines, and blogs on my iPhone. Oh, and I do play a game or two on my iPhone too, just to maintain my streaks. Personally, getting rid of my iPhone will not improve my life, I don't think. Not having any apps on my iPhone that give you infinite scrolls of 'content' probably helped to not my life worse. ~ Link: Your phone is…

Since I made Doodle Scan I've had a bunch of ideas of things I can do with image manipulation — it led to me finally doing my favicon generator. The third idea, the tool trilogy if you will, was to replicate a simple version of what CleanShot does — adding a background, padding, and rounding corners to a screenshot. I have CleanShot but sometimes I'm on my phone or a computer that doesn't have it installed. I like to think I'm pretty good at naming things but this is not one I'm particularly…

The Nintendo 3DS is in a pretty funny place right now. Nintendo's little dual-screen handheld systems have been gone from store shelves for years, and yet the machine seems to be finding a new audience. The games haven't disappeared, of course, but there is something else happening too: modern hardware is beginning to recreate the very thing that made the 3DS so unusual in the first place.For years, playing 3DS games through emulation on a PC, phone or single-screen handheld meant finding a way…

New Lebanon Christian Church, Surry, Virginia. I happened upon this church on a back road, stopped and found the light was absolutely beautiful! (click to enlarge)Last week we had two days of glorious weather! The temperatures were in the low 80s F (~28º C), the humidity was, thank goodness, low for this time of year. What else to do? Grab a camera kit and go out and find something to photograph. More importantly, get out of the house and enjoy the outdoors!Here are a few photos from some of…

Brooklyn, by far the biggest city or town on Long Island in the mid-1800s, had a water problem as severe as New York’s. The 1840s Croton aqueduct took care of New York’s need for fresh water with a supply from further north, up the Hudson River, while in the 1850s Brooklyn built a system supplied by streams and lakes on the island. Part of the system was a distributing reservoir in Queens, just past the border of Kings County, where Brooklyn is. By 1914, that reservoir was abandoned, as the new…

I am cheating; the them for SuperWendy’s TBR Challenge for September is “lush life”. Now, things can be lush in the sense of glorious or blooming or abundant or luxurious, but I first encountered the word (as an adult ESL learner) to mean ‘someone who’s habitually drunk’–which fits Judith Potts to a T. So while the book has only been in my digital TBR since February (and yes, I’m late reviewing an ARC again, dammit), it technically fits the brief. Reader beware: alcoholism; domestic violence;…

My wife, Michelle Kaufman, is a sportswriter. When she tells people what she does for a living, they almost always tell her how much fun it must be.“That must be so much fun!” they say. “You get to go to all the games!”Which is true! She has gone to SO many games. She covered 14 Olympics (seven summer, seven winter) and nine World Cups (seven men’s, two women’s). She has covered Super Bowls, World Series, NBA finals, tennis majors, auto racing, golf and more, much more, thousands of matches and…

Let’s call a spade a spade: If you would put me into a box, I’d be in the mid-to-heavy Euro gamer category, definitely leaning towards the heavy end of the spectrum. I might dabble in historical-inspired games, train games, tile layers, or even dexterity games, but give me a choice investment opportunity or engine to build and I’m home. The issue with that is that the typical formula of what makes a Euro has by now been so well established that there are almost as few bad ones coming out as…

For the last fortnight the news has been in a frenzy about AI killing us all. It started when Jacob Coxon quit Anthropic and posted that the people building AI “earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade“. One of Anthropic’s alignment leads replied that he personally put it at more than 10% within the next decade. Geoffrey Hinton went on Newsnight and called 10% “not unreasonable“. It has been headline news every day since. Politicians have piled in. Bernie Sanders:…

Pokopia 2026, Game Freak & Omega Force My rating: I like it Incredibly cute, well made and with plenty of stuff to do! The story is also surprisingly nice. It can get pretty overwhelming at times with how much there is to do, but it’s the ultimate cute environment sandbox and made better by the sheer amount of Pokémon in there, with their own personalities and preferences.

Morning on Oklahoma’s Broken Bow Lake at Beavers Bend State Park. The post Piney Morning appeared first on 75CentralPhotography.

I’ve been vaguely aware of her work for years, but it’s only very recently that I’ve actually taken the time to sit down with some of Laurie Anderson’s live performance stuff. After watching this one last night, I think you can now count me a full convert to the cause.

SerendipityThe sort of strange coincidence that I love.Five weeks ago, I had never heard of the author, Francis Brett Young. Yet there was enough motivation to join a Walkspace West Midlands group walk to find locations that were important to him and his haunted house novel, Cold Harbour. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Clive Judd (@clivejudd) My latest Travels With Pevsner walk provided the usual high amount of inspiration. I could have walked to the Chateau Impney, one of the…

More photos that fit the vibe of this project (if you will). Rubble, peeling paint, lichen and moss. All taken by me, copyright me, etc. Without further ado, please enjoy:

As someone who has written a lot about the independent web in the past, then something like the newly-launched Pixel Area is like catnip to me. From the site’s About page1, Oleh Providnyk explains: “Pixel Area is a 100×100 coordinate grid with room for 10,000 websites. Each pixel belongs to a real person and links to whatever they have online: a blog, a project, or just a small site they made. You pick an empty spot, choose a color, add a short description, and visitors find you by wandering…

Like a skeleton supporting the skin of a text, the page disappears in its very function, and in that unprepossessing nature lies its strength. A Brief History of the Page by Alberto Manguel in A Reader on Reading ; YALE 2010. As bloggers (and writers) we gaze at a blank page; pencil dancing clumsy steps through our fingers, flirting on the keyboard, hesitant on the cap of the closed pen, and the clock on the desk does not stop ticking. The page; silent recipient of our thoughts, guardian of…

Mitten im Wald, direkt am kleinen See Mustalampi, stand ich vor einer fast schwarzen Holzhütte. Darin war es dunkel, heiß und es duftete dezent nach Rauch und Holz. Genau so begann mein erstes Erlebnis in einer traditionellen finnischen Rauchsauna – auf Finnisch savusauna – in Vierumäki in der Region Päijät-Häme. Eine Rauchsauna ist eine der ursprünglichsten Saunaformen Finnlands. Anders als der Name vermuten lässt, sitzt Du beim Saunieren aber nicht im Qualm. Die Sauna wird zuvor über mehrere…

I’m on the road this week and I don’t quite have the bandwidth to post my using Friday Varia and Quick Hits. I’d be remiss, however, not to promote the latest book from The Digital Press: John Poff’s Out of My Life and Two Visions. Check out more about the book here or just get on with it and download (or buy) the book here. This past week, I’ve been shooting mostly with a borrowed Canon 5D Mark IV and a Canon 50 mm f/1.2L or Canon 85 mm f/1.4L. The lenses are spectacular and the camera is a…

Don’t deny real risks, but don’t accept the AI industry’s mythology as the starting point for discussing risks. The useful question is what currant AI’s actually do, who controls them, and what infrastructure and power relationships we are building around them. AI is useful technology wrapped in a massive social, political and financial mythology. The #OMN is less interested in the usual argument between “AI will save humanity” and “AI will destroy humanity”. as both become noise in the current…

Folk Art Finder and sublime Seller Critical Eye Finds run by Kate Hackman did it again with a group of drawings from 1907 Ipswich, MA artist D.B.Webber. Bears are on the move here, as forest land disapears to copy cat mega-mansions of drywall and Data Centers. They are on the news daily somewhere, climbing trees to escape man and terrified mothers. I've been ten feet from a bear and her cubs as a friend and I climbed a ridge to see a mother bear and her young ones lumbering along. She didn't…

Ugh, this sounds like something he mutters to himself during masturbation. — Maggie McNeill (@maggiemcneill.bsky.social) 2026-08-15T03:01:51.899Z I always have mixed feelings about "investigations" or "studies" that "find" things which were always completely bloody obvious. On the one hand, I'm glad more people are admitting the problem. But on the other hand, HOLY SHIT WHY DID IT TAKE Y'ALL OVER 30 YEARS TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING SO OBVIOUS? — Maggie McNeill (@maggiemcneill.bsky.social)…

There’s a man in the airport wearing a cowboy hat on top of a baseball hat. Unlike an overstuffed comedy premise, it’s funny.

M & K Records is listed at RCS (location unknown). Eddie Quinteros: I think I was 13 or 14 when I joined the musician union at 14. I got busted playing a union house at 14 and after that I had to join, they were very powerful in those days! About 1956 I had another little group - we did a TV stint in San Francisco on KPIX... after I joined the union there was a singer bamed Bobby Freeman, and his manager saw me and wanted to know if I wanted to play guitar with them. He just had his song out…

It looks like we are doing this again--welcome to September's blog post about stuff I recently bought, stuff I would have tweeted about if I hadn't lost my X account to diabolical hackers, crackers, and fraud and deceit backers. Click the pictures below to get an eyeful of all the filthy details. In Mt. Airy, MD, in a shopping center with a Weis grocery store where you can buy Ovaltine and a Home Goods where you can buy the mass produced plastic Chinese Christmas decorations you need to fill up…
