The "cruel and unusual punishment" argument against the death penalty - at least by lethal injection - just got a LOT stronger.

A new design on my webshop. It has particular meaning as a pregnancy shirt! Maybe less controversial as a mug. www.cafepress.com/dd/140281586 In honor of President Trump's recent description of the Irish. Who could disagree?

My little HubSpot add on for Thunderbird is live in the Thunderbird addons directory. Finally. If you use Thunderbird (seems people still do) and Hubspot (lots do), it helps a lot. addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunde...

Giving free money to people with houses is a bit of a kick in the face to people without houses. Particularly in a housing crisis. Particularly when it makes the housing crisis worse.

Not my first one, but I just tried my first MCP server (i.e. one i built) on something in production. Works fine. SaaS really has a problem. So do organizations, 'cos MCP servers can do things faster and quicker and both right and wrong. Wrong will hurt a lot.

Interesting event I was on earlier today. An "INSEAD for INSEADERS" event. Lots of good insights across the "Hardtech" space. What's Hardtech, you might ask? In my definition it's tech with a major element of hardware in it, and mostly not consumer tech....although that's not NECESSARILY the case.
