iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Well. Considering that the book does have a subtle theme about restraint and *not* instantly devouring something that you want to consume, it's a bit ironic that I couldn't put it down and finished it in two days.

Moth 🔦 first picture in my October series!

A digital illustration of a giant moth fae with glowing yellow eyes clinging to a lighthouse. At it's base, a lighthouse keeper emerges from his house to investigate.

In re accidents, read some William Hadden, epidemiology of injury! Injuries are not random. Human error can be a factor but having a waiting area next to a driving area is not random. Having huge cars that accelerate quickly is not random. Many controllable factors influence accident rates/severity.

If, as speculated, this was caused by the driver hitting the accelerator due to human error or medical event, let's be 100% clear: That does not make it "just one of those things." That does not make it "unforeseeable." That does not make it "unpreventable." This is not an acceptable failure mode.

Had the type of night where at least once every 27-52 business minutes the dog needed to go outside desperately. Desperately! But because he is a doofus I do think there were times where he forgot why he was out there and did not actually go potty idk he went into the bushes a lot.

Tragic news in our household tonight when there was An Unauthorized Bug on the ceiling

A dog that looks like a super-large beagle, looking up at the ceiling. He has one of those faces that always looks worried anyway except he ALSO actually has an expression of concern so it is comedically doubled.

mortality data are sacred. counting deaths accurately is a recognition of the inherent value of every human life. few actions are more anti-public health than fudging these numbers.

My sister died in childbirth. At a hospital, fortunately, where they were able to pump her full of other people's blood while they did surgery to stop the hemorrhaging, revived her, and she's ok now except for some nerve damage where the IV was pushing so much fluid. She was very, very lucky.

Years ago a friend was self-conscious about bringing baked goods to a potluck because my wife had just graduated culinary school studying pastry. Yes she can tell me exactly what I did wrong if I fuck up a recipe but also I have many times witnessed her eat canned frosting with a spoon.

In re star trek replicator discourse I think it would be hilarious if humans preferred "real" water like the replicator makes it perfectly balanced and healthy and not too many minerals and every time humans get to a planet with natural water they're like "can I drink it?"

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,

Government procedure change is slow because it has to be accurate. When we change a procedure, we work out so many bugs beforehand, because it has to work properly every time. It's not like people can take their business elsewhere! I spent 18 months updating a form. It was the appropriate speed.

The idea that accessibility is a limited and non-renewable resource consistently keeps people from imagining a better world where we've designed things so everyone can actually get what they need and be comfortable. It also keeps people from demanding changes for the better from those with power.

My take on boots discourse is that we face a lemons problem with many consumer goods, given the acquisition of many storied brands by companies aggressively milking accumulated brand equity for higher profits, such that price and reputation for durability does not reliably predict higher roi.
