I wonder how possible it would be to do the Philly to Pittsburgh bike trail with an eBike. If I brought two batteries and a solar charging rig, it could be pretty doable.

I don't understand why I don't like light bars on the front lights of a car. By all facts it SHOULD be badass. But instead every car with one looks like a set piece from EPCOT.

Anyone wanna move to Philly? The Philadelphia Local Spiritual Assembly is looking for a new grounds caretaker. You get access to an apartment on the third floor (with utilities), ideal candidate would be a Bahá'í, and a married couple or two friends. If you're interested, apply at […]

I still can't believe that a speech of mine got played on nationwide radio. What an odd situation. I wonder who even heard it.

"That has made the post-ChatGPT product cycle bland and boring, in a moment that could otherwise have been incredibly exciting. AI isn’t good enough, and it’s dragging everything else down with it." Great piece from the Verge today: www.theverge.com/gadgets/628039/bad…

Everyone acts like Steve Jobs is a genius but also conveniently forgets the fact that this is a man who died of a treatable cancer because one of the wealthiest men on the planet thought doctors were greedy. He drank fruit juice instead of doing chemotherapy. He died at 56 years old, which is […]

Having fun with my new (to me) laser color printer and vinyl paper.

A collage, top and bottom.

The top image is Michael Scott from the office with long hair, with the label 'Clean.'

The bottom image is of Prison Mike from the Office, who is just Michael Scott in a purple bandana. The label there says 'DIRTY' in a graffiti style.

Maybe it's time for America's Schlub population to start launching cubesats of their own. Why does Elon get to be the only person who gets to bully astronomers? I was doing that way before it was cool.

Why do we even bother with DST? It's not even like it's a used everywhere and it's too late to switch. Half of Arizona doesn't even observe it. People driving 15 minutes north into Utah and time traveling, smdh.

the wooly mouse lives in my head rent free (and soon, in my crawl space)

The image shows two small rodents, which appear to be woolen mice, standing on a white surface. They have short tails and are looking away from the viewer. Below them is a scale, suggesting they might be weighed. The headline reads, "Scientists Made a 'Wooly Mouse' in Quest to Resurrect Mammoths." The byline is by Becky Ferreria, dated March 8, 2025. This was originally clipped from a story about scientists using CRISPR to insert genes isolated from Wooly Mammoth remains into a living host, which created a mouse with one type of fur texture that Woolly Mammoths most likely had.

TIL of the German punching word, “backpfeifengesicht." Literally it means "A face that toots its own horn," but in contemporary German, it describes someone who is so self-sure that you can't help but want to slap them.
