Easy way to sniff out a bad leader: they use “I” language for accomplishments and achievements and “we” language for accountability and unfavorable outcomes. Literally the opposite of what you’re…

Ideas that spoke to me

my mother used to tell me she'd find me standing on the balcony in the middle of the night, simply looking out into the world. i was also told that when i was only two years old, i quietly walked out…

Two notable events today: The NYC Pride Parade and Mel Brooks’ 100th birthday. In my mind they tie together nicely. The Pride Parade was an hours long celebration, mostly of young people, that…

This week was a bit on the warm side wasn't it? This meant I didn't really have much energy left for things outside of work, and staying cool/alive... I think we got to the upper 30s last week and…

Had a better time at basketball on Monday. It was a fairly low bar, so after a made a lay-up off the first possession I'd already surpassed my own expectations. Was slightly concerned that the sports…

It’s such an incredibly dull thing to have to comment on but holy fuck has it been hot. Our flat can handle a day or two of heat but by day three it’s a difficult-to-cool furnace. Our lads have been…

I hope that the people that throw wisdom, inspiration and support into my world know that they do - but if they are anything like me - they probably do not know. Some I celebrate in public - others…

Dear Dad, We're in the kitchen right now. I've brought my laptop here so I can sit with you. But you're not interested in me. The past few days you've been a fucking prick. You're starting to throw…

Hello and happy, um, Sunday! Last week, my week off from work, was a string of days blurred together by household chores: donate here, donate there, car repairs (which could be their own post),…

Writing this on a Beyoğlu day under siege again, sigh. The whole neighborhood is locked down just because some people want to celebrate who they are… We started packing today and I’ll be…

I enjoyed the Uni Kuru Toga Metal in Orange, but it won’t be my primary Kuru Toga, so let’s give it away! This is my review model Uni Kuru Toga, with an 0.5 mm mechanism. And the winner is: Congrats…

Lore It was mid-May. I was a couple of weeks into catching up on post-training literature and learning reinforcement learning for LLMs in a more bottom-up way. Having done some basic experiments, I…

Rest in peace, Om Malik.

In a recent digest I linked to Herman’s post post about resurfacing old blogs. In that entry, the posts he chose to resurface were the ones about his journalling[1] journey, and this inspired me to…

A few things raised by stuff we've looked at recently, and despite a slower than usual posting rate so far this year, we've covered quite a bit one way or another, and here are a few bits and pieces…

Grandson Louis. We gave him everything money could buy. What did we do that was wrong? We didn’t know it was wrong. He’s leaving home, bye bye. * * *

Yamuna's Incense in Kaunas , Lithuania's second largest city, is a marriage of Indian and Lithuanian cultures. Yamuna tells me that "Yamuna’s Incense is conceptualized in Lithuania, most of the…

Mythos gets reinstated, but we may be seeing the end of widely shared leading AI models.

Had such a wonderful day yesterday. Got up a teeny bit early for my partner and I to go to a local Pride event, which was mostly boring, but we got to enjoy food from our favorite food truck and try…

I pulled a rather dramatic move at the airport last night. 😱😅 Think General Hospital–level drama (if you’re old enough to remember). I was sending my guests—my ex in‑laws and extended family—off at…

Meta has new $299 smart glasses. I don’t want them. But, as I wrote for Stuff, I’d happily try some AirPods Pro for my eyes. Retroid released another retro doodad. It’s more or less…

A successful trip to Marikes beach, a failed trip to the cinema, a failed prime minister, a failure of a book, and a lot more food and football than expected.

puppy wants a tail so bad 😭

It never seems as if the academic stress will end, until suddenly, sometime in late June, it just does. The students disperse for the academic year like fluffy tree pollen on the wind. The final…

June winds down. Quick trip to Seattle to help my brother, a visit to one of my old employers, a lovely visit with my stepmom and her husband, World Cup fans, etc. On a quick trip to Seattle to help…

One of the pieces of bad advice I got while trying to diagnose the Let’s Encrypt problem was to reset my Nextcloud File Sync client connection. No big deal, they said, just recreate the…

Notes, thoughts and highlights from Week 26, 2026. The post Wk 26-26 – Weekly Note appeared first on aboutSG.

Instead of writing my personal musings on this Sunday, I would actually suggest you read these two pieces that expanded my understanding of the world: “How funerals keep Africa poor”,…

In the magical world of content creation we as creators often obtain a multitude of tech items. Either by sponsors, or simply because we are techies and want certain products. Over time we collect…

Today’s post will be about whether (and if yes, how) to approach potential employers in a cold email suggesting you’d like to work with them. First of all, I have to say: this…

During record breaking June temperatures, a deadly thunderstorm blew down a tree, nearly killing a cyclist that only survived because my boat was moored in the right spot.

Boiling. Hate it obviously — I’m not ridiculous . Most of this week has been submerged in the woozy fever dream of being uncomfortably hot all the time. Can’t think clearly, can’t sleep properly,…

Finally cooling down, I can work again! 1 day, 13 hours ago

c'mon

A few photos from my wife’s birthday. We had breakfast in the city and spent the rest of the day relaxing by the lake. Thirty posts. No schedule, no daily...

You signed the deal. The wire cleared. And now the real work begins: protecting the revenue, customers, and operational clarity that justified the valuation in the first place. Most deal teams know…

UpdatesA beautiful week in Dublin - shirtsleeve weather all week, and the beach in Killiney was packed out most evenings. The interminable lay-off process is continuing, and things are starting to…

I had a rare disagreement with my high school friends last night. In a group chat, I mentioned that I gave up on Major League Baseball after they introduced a pitch clock into the game. I was a…

평소의 덥고 쨍쨍한 날은 오늘 나의 텅 빈 것 같은 기분이랑 잘 어울리지 않아서 비가 내리기 시작했을지도 모른다. 인생을 여태까지 악착같이 살아왔고, 거의 쉼없이 달려와서 그런지 오늘 하루는 아주 무기력하게 보내고 있다. 그렇지만 무슨 일이 생겼길래 이렇게까지 느껴지는지 물어본다면, 나도 모르겠다고 대답할 것 같다. 뜬금없이 발생한 문제나 심각한 어려움이…
