I put a small network hub under my desk so I could have my work and personal computers both on Ethernet. The wiring is a little creative. Happy blinkenlights, everyone.

I’m exploring this guitar I got last week. I looked up some basic chords, and…why did nobody ever tell me that a lot of chords are easy? You can make a guitar sound great without years of practice. I mean, you can make it sound even better with years of practice, but nobody TOLD me about this.

1000000000000066600000000000001 is a prime number…it is also a palindrome. It’s called ‘Belphegor's prime.’ ‘Belphegor’ refers to one of the Seven Princes of Hell (due to the ‘666’ in the middle & the 13 zeroes on either side). So that’s cute.

Three years ago, my high school friend and partner-in-mindcrime @dubanowich.bsky.social joked: “I invented a new word game called ‘Eldrow™.’ I give you a word, and you have to devolve back down to the guesses you would have made to solve the puzzle. Today’s word is ‘crunk.’” Challenge accepted.

The Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.1 update did not automatically turn Apple Intelligence back on for my computer. I had turned it off via System Settings in a previous OS release, and it’s still off.

I’m a typography nerd and this essay made me happy. Deeply happy. I’m certain I’ll come back and read it again more than once. If you love type and artistic technical photography and fluid, thoughtful writing, this is for you. This is for us. Marcin, thank you.
