Observations on the world and its inhabitants
It is tempting to talk about COVID as if it were a chapter we have closed. A horrible few years, then a return to “normal”. But that framing feels increasingly wrong to me. The pandemic was not only an acute crisis; it was a forcing function that pushed institutions, companies, and individuals into rapid adaptation. ...
It was 2:00 AM. I was staring at a 2018 laptop that refused to run Linux from a USB drive, without freezing like a deer in headlights. Naturally, I did what any modern human does: I asked an AI to fix it. This was my mistake. But it worked out well in the end. What ...
From Lunar Headlines to the “Wetware” Crisis It began with a simple question, one that many of us have been asking as we approach the new year of 2026: Is NASA actually going back to the Moon? The surface-level answer is a resounding yes. As of today, New Year’s Eve 2025, the Artemis II rocket ...

I’ll no doubt be judged by the many as fricking weird for posting this! Do I give a flying banana!? Did I say it wasn’t weird? I did not. I’ve looked at this music vid many times over the years. I’ve wondered, ‘What does it mean’? Well, obviously it means different things to different people. ...
