Video: Swift in the Browser with ElementaryUI A couple of weeks ago, I posted about a new frontend framework I discovered called ElementaryUI. Since then, I found a video of it in action. It’s impressive.

What does it feel like to wear heels as a man? Not all men who wear gender-non-conforming clothing wear heels, but many do. This post is for those who want to know what it feels like to wear them but have never dared.

Gallows Hill by Darcy Coates If there is one modern author of ghost stories I would never hesitate to recommend, it is Darcy Coates. Over the past few years, I have read many of her books and have yet to be disappointed even once -- and Gallows Hill is no exception.

Adblocking ≠ Piracy A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon a blog post by Manuel Moreale about whether adblocking should be considered piracy. It's a topic I've thought about before and what Manuel wrote really resonated with me.

Thoughts About the State of the Tech Industry The latest developments in the tech industry have gotten me thinking about how much the pursuit of short-term profits with AI has blinded major companies when it comes to the long term. It’s truly incredible how much the tech industry loves shooting itself in its own foot in the name of short-term profit.
