Running my handwriting through three text recognition apps was...humbling.

I think my favorite was the random paragraph of Arabic. Just no.

Went for a long ride today, short sleeves, no long socks. Looked at the forecast, begrudgingly turned on A/C.

But remember, kids, climate change isn't real.

My baby book says I saw Return of the Jedi at 3 months. The nerd was strong with this one.

i think my academic employer’s refusal to provide indoor bike parking (e.g. in its very spacious underground parking garage) is premised on the claim that such storage poses a “fire hazard.”

i just want to remind everyone that not all cyclists ride ebikes.

Is anyone else seeing that time Germany invaded Soviet Russia only to be woefully overwhelmed by the arctic tundra that their enemy was very used to? Just me then?

A nighttime photograph of a long pedestrian bridge during a heavy snowfall. The scene is softly lit by a row of tall streetlamps, each with three glowing bulbs, casting warm yellow light through the falling snow. The lamps recede into the distance, creating a rhythmic line of light that fades into fog and darkness. The bridge walkway is covered in fresh snow, with faint footprints visible along the center path. On the right, a dark metal railing runs the length of the bridge, its top edge dusted with snow. The atmosphere feels quiet, cold, and contemplative, with limited visibility due to the dense snowfall and misty air.

I randomly used 555 555 5555 at a store. Someone had already set it up, and I got a $2 reward. We're all in this together.

The Anchor pub in oil. I worked on this one for ages, leaving it alone for periods and put it through quite a few changes

This oil painting shows the Anchor pub in Cambridge on Silver Street. Dated 2016 it sold probably in a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition
