I don’t know I could be way off base here.

Writing research software: professionally for robotics, previously for spacecraft dynamics, personally for astronomy. 🔭

Loving Greater Boston.

There’s fine lines between “cringe” and “earnest” and “popular”. As Tris @noboilerplate.namtao.com.ap.brid.gy says: popularity matters. Loved participating in the most popular display of resistance yet here in Boston.

Haven't tried iTerm2, but Ghostty is fantastic. My favorite feature is the quick terminal: "CMD+`" at any time for a floating terminal in the center of the screen. Reminds me of the drop-down terminal Gnome extension.

And less than 6 months later, was beginning the process of writing Project 2025. Then he took aim at broadcasters, and SNL specifically.

Might have found a new favorite bar shopping downtown with Casey today: Bukowski Tavern near the Prudential Center. I’d give 5 stars! Some other Joe apparently disagrees.

A tip I read online years ago: if you find your phone’s screen light too harsh at night, even with the stock blue light filter enabled, there’s another way! Color filters (under Accessibility in settings for iPhones) allow you to block all blue light.

Reading “The Light Eaters” and it’s so much fun. I remember trying this a few years back. I poked a philodendron with a pin, and the voltmeter went up 30 mV. It’s insane how large the electrical response is. 🌿⚡️

This is my second post quoting some billionaire’s bad-faith public comments today so I need to stop, but the “culturally neutered” line stuck out to me because I’ve been reading about Carl Schmitt’s advocacy for autocracy, and it’s hitting the same notes: explicit pining for an aggressive state.

A bunch of weird stuff about the apocalypse, I’m gonna skip down a couple paragraphs and see if things settle down.

…oh no

If you have an M1 Mac, and if you use Dev Containers, you might have noticed that sometime in the last year the mounted filesystem permissions are not automatically set inside the container. You can `--add-safe-directory` to Git to fix this, but I think I found another way: these settings!

@caseyreiland.bsky.social asked me to order a peg-board for kitchen storage and I've been on this page ever since. I wish there was a better way to do this. 😮‍💨

Lavender here will keep your sleep schedule solid. She screams at you if you aren’t getting ready to go to sleep by like 10pm.

Thank you, Quanta. We needed this today.

Yikes. Surely though they mean microseconds here, right? A second every couple of years?!

TIL — from Nature Obscura — of the Garden of Planes, a scene inspired by Japanese gardens in the Bloedel Reserve of Washington. The garden featured two gravel pyramids, and was removed after a single fox pooped on top of one of the pyramids every single morning.

Me: writing a new typesetting template will make my drafts so much simpler, and so much easier to iterate on!

Also me: header: locate(loc => { let current_page = ...

For International Cat Day, meet Lavender! She is tiny and so sweet. She never bites or scratches anyone, even after @caseyreiland.bsky.social and I rudely try to take her to the beach with us.

She was in the shelter longer than any other cat because of her grumpy face (not shown). Y’all’s loss!

Photoshoot in honor of Lavender stretching out her paw like that
