Today, in a message, I've made the most serendipitous typo. Possibly the typo I'm most proud of:

"I am a man of my world."

Anthony Jeselnik — the treasure that he is — makes a seven-minute YouTube video where he manages to talk about his Top 10 Books for 2025 AND make a couple of announcements.

He’s starting a book club on YouTube in January. I’m in.

’Tis that time of the year where my interest in all things Voynich manuscript is revived once again.

Among other things, this YouTube channel is very good at examining various aspects and common questions about the VMS.

This channel is dedicated to the "world's most mysterious" Voynich Manuscript. I (Koen Gheuens) have been studying the Voynich Manuscript as a hobby for about 10 years now, and my intention with this ...

Sometimes after posting something on my blog that gets a bit of traction, I receive quite a number of emails with smart observations or insightful feedback.

And sometimes I get stuff like, and I quote: “Now that Alan Dye has left Apple, will you return to the platform??”

As a huge Waits’ fan, this is accurate. 🎉

I would also add a petrol station/diner named “Frankie's Burgers & Kerosene”. 😅

All these places’ names would also be perfect song titles for his next album.
Happy 76th Birthday, Tom Waits!

I can’t believe it.

I waited for this game to release for 14 years. It had a difficult development, and I honestly thought they had given up.

But it’s here. And the reviews are positive so far. Amazing.

Software studio proudly announces that all orders are 50% off with the BLACKFRIDAY promo code on checkout.

I proceed to Checkout.

There’s no text field to add any promo code.

Thanks for nothing.

You should really watch this. Of course, I completely agree with Jared. And I think more people should read “Technopoly — The Surrender of Culture to Technology” by Neil Postman. I started it recently, but I need to pick it up again.

She’s great. So many intense choices.

I just got an email from Spotify. It’s a promo to “share my Premium experience” with a friend or acquaintance who doesn’t have a Premium account. If I recommend Spotify to them using the link in the email, they get to enjoy 3 months of Spotify Premium at zero cost.

I had to take a mental break from work… and learn why 0!=1. 😄

I wish I had a maths teacher like him in high school.

This time it’s not fatigue, but disconnection
Trying to elaborate on why I feel increasingly disconnected from tech and by tech, and why this isn't just some passing sense of fatigue.

I ‘love’ how Apple fans are giving a positive spin to Apple tweaking Liquid Glass to make it less excessive, as if it’s something they’re doing because they care about the users.

I feel that my current tech headspace is a sort of limbo made of distrust and uncaring-ness. Maybe I’ll write about that.

“Why don’t you update your blog more often?” I get asked on a fairly regular basis.

Because I prefer to say nothing when I have nothing to say, instead of posting crap like this, for example:

“This video was demonotized by YouTube.”

Nice typo. We could use it in type design, when you convert a mono font into a proportional one. 😉

This is a terrific talk.

From the video description:

This talk explores the hidden risks in apps leveraging modern AI systems—especially those using large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows.

Knee-deep in the localisation of an update to Procreate Dreams, and let me tell you: an ‘AI’ tool wouldn’t even know where to begin with this.
