There sure is a lot going on in the world right now. Twitter’s a mess of US election coverage, overthrown governments and localized horror shows. Oh, and the Olympics are starting soon. What better way to tune out the noise than with some headphones and a great little portable music player? Sit back, crank up some […]
There was a question on r/askscience this week wondering whether you could tunnel deep enough under the surface of Mars to find the sweet spot that would allow a human to live without a protective suit. They’d still need some sort of breathing equipment, obviously, but pressure and heat could, in theory, reach a comfortable level […]
Hi. I’ve missed you. Maybe you’ve read Trajectory Book 2 and don’t know what to do about that. I know a few of you have read it. Some still are. I can sense these things. Well if you have read it, please put a review on it. Goodreads is a good place to leave […]
House acquired. Now we wait. Waiting for: – people to give us prices and order things, – wallpaper to be stripped and walls to be painted and carpets to be ripped out and floors to be put in… in the meantime, … we’re spending a lot of time doing little things. I’m reading a few books. […]

What a week. Our house is now closed and we have gone fully nomadic. Next time I write here, I’ll be on the east coast for good and I truly can’t wait. While we’ve been on the road, I’ve spent a little bit of time auditioning Audirvana+ as an iTunes replacement. The short: I now load […]
Yesterday I tweeted a thing about somebody losing a big chunk of their music collection because Apple Music, by way of iTunes, decided that they’d prefer to have the version stored in Apple Music instead of their original, painstakingly-curated files. Of course, Apple knows best, but I thought I’d do a survey of the alternatives, just in case […]
Trajectory Book 2 is now available for preorder on Amazon Kindle (US, Canada), priced at $4.99 US. Full release is scheduled for June 7, 2016 and will be $5.99. I’d release it sooner, but still need to do a final read-through and cleanup plus a couple of minor additions. It’s clocking in at 125k words […]
I’ve been thinking about storage capacity lately. I had a couple of IO errors on my aging Synology NAS drive that caused a minor panic at the thought of losing all of my redundancy and archived media.
