I swore I'd never do this, but I think I'm going to re-watch Pan's Labyrinth. There releasing it in theaters this month to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Wish me luck.

Packing up some stuff for the Akron move.

A collection of small souvenir buildings and trinkets are pictured in a jumble against a black background. They are actually packed in a box for moving. In addition to the buildings (which include the Sears Tower, Eiffel Tower, Space Needle, the Arc de Triomphe, Washington Monument, and the Gateway Arch, the image also contains small figures of JFK, Abraham Lincoln, and a small glass toilet.

Grandpa did it! 26.2 hilly miles in the Akron Marathon! Perfect day for it too. #akronmarathon #blueliners #running

This is my final longish run before next Saturday's Akron Marathon. I don't feel exactly ready, but I followed the training plan as prescribed. That will have to do. #running #mit #marathon #akron

It was pretty lonely at the workplace bike rack this morning. I think that's partly because of the misty/rainy morning, and partly because it's Friday.

When life gives you a painted, Georgian style fireplace mantel, you have no choice but to paint the room Dolphin Blue. Once we're done, you'll find me in here reading Hume and Locke.

The Buckeyes are up 1-0 in the first half, but I sense a worthy adversary in this Penn State squad. This could be an interesting night. Also, the band is here, which is nice.

It seems like Blanche agreeing to rescind the Trump IRS grifting funds should be good news, but all I can think is that whatever they want him to do as permanent AG must somehow be worth $1.8 billion dollars, and that's concerning.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

It's a good day to reflect on these thoughts from @attackerman.bsky.social He offered this perspective in an interview he did with @marisakabas.bsky.social after the publication of his Henry Kissinger obituary ran in Rolling Stone. Today, relief.

I had a conversation with my daughter who was like, “Why are people excited? So are you happy that this guy died?” And I was trying to talk about it in terms that I wanted her to take away from this. That it is a bad habit of the soul to celebrate anyone's death. But that emerges from our understanding of our humanity, what we owe to one another, the basic respect and dignity in viewing human lives as precious and in viewing them as valuable. And that's a contract. And there are gonna be some people, like Henry Kissinger, who break that contract at grand scale, and you don't have to be sad when someone like that dies. You can feel relieved. You don't want, in general, to be happy when people die. That is not a good way of being that will ultimately hurt you more than it will hurt them. But there are some people whose deaths come as a relief, and sometimes they come as a relief because justice was never served for the acts of such a person. And relief is the closest thing to justice tha
