I was on Broward County Library's Creation Station Monthly podcast! Got to chat with @telekitnetic.bsky.social and @wabigun.bsky.social about art. Go give it a watch ↓↓

Creation Station Monthly is a 45-60 minute monthly program that brings two strangers together to talk about a creative topic they both are interested in. I a...YouTube
Santa Claus:
- Hides away from society
- Only goes out once a year for his job
- Avoids interactions by working the night shift
- Has exactly one outfit that he wears
- Unusual sense of style
- Talks to animals
- REALLY like making lists and going over them
- Has an intense special interest in toymaking
- Restricted diet (only eats sweets and baked goods)
What I'm trying to say is Santa is autistic.
It's interesting (in a completely non-judgmental way) to see from all these end of year posts how many books different people read in a year.
I'm someone who feels a bit lost without a good book on the go, and I usually read at least two (and sometimes up to six) books each week. Some people would undoubtedly consider that too many, but I unashamedly read for pleasure and entertainment rather than analysing and reflecting on each title in detail.
That does mean that books have great reread value for me, but also that in certain weeks I read more titles than some people do in a year. I work full time, but watch very little television and movies and don't play a lot of video games.

> On August 5, 2025, Stein-Erik Soelberg (“Mr. Soelberg”) killed his mother and then stabbed himself to death. During the months prior, Mr. Soelberg spent hundreds of hours in conversations with OpenAI’s chatbot product, ChatGPT. During those conversations ChatGPT repeatedly told Mr. Soelberg that his family was surveilling him and directly encouraged a tragic end to his and his mother’s lives.
it's amazing, we've replaced the FBI with a machine that can push mentally ill people into violence. We no longer need to spend agent time radicalizing people into building bombs, buying weapons, etc.
Thank you OpenAI for helping us keep the government small 
Thank you 2025

Here I mention everything and everyone I am grateful to in 2025. Of course you too.
I am always and eternally grateful to you. That’s why I mentioned you on the exhibition flyer and now also on the blog article.

@liberloebi Dito – das, wo die Deutschen rutschen. Ich sage aber: "A gutn Rosch"¹. Tut weniger weh (warum sollte man sich auf's Glatteis führen lassen?) – und meint "Rosch Ha-Shanah", den "Kopf des Jahres"; also "ein gutes neues Jahr! 🤗 Komm gut rüber, knallen können die andern 🤪
In diesem Sinne: Nicht "Hals- und Beinbruch", sondern "Hazloche un Broche"¹ – Glück und Segen!

Talk of strange software problems reminded me of the strangest problem one of our projects at work ever ran into, in production. The application was slow on Wednesdays, but only if it rained.
Here's a hint: The database was restarted around midnight every day. This was a long time ago.
The explanation involved a mother with a child that went to some early morning thing on Wednesdays and when it rained, the mother drove the child. Which meant that the mother arrived later at the office than usual. Which meant that she didn't call up her favourite reports first thing in the morning. Which meant that the database didn't cache the execution plans that were "good for everybody" apparently but the ones optimised for some other random dude whose execution plans were lousy. And so the database got off to a bad start on Wednesdays if it rained.
I don't know how they ever figured this one out. What a nightmare. It ended up in our internal Oracle database training for many years. These days, almost everybody uses PostgreSQL.

Pro tip:
If you send me WhatsApp feedback via a disappearing message, while I'm on holiday break, don't get mad at me for forgetting your issue.
Kthxbai!
Tomorrow is the day where no new work will become Public Domain in Canada. Because our courageous Government abdicated our sovereignty to the trade bullies of a foreign nation for a deal that doesn't benefit us.
Reverse the copyright extension. Void the protection of TPM/DRM (legalise jailbreaking). Legalise reverse engineering without limits.
Anybody know off hand if the Motorola CDM1250 radios can be fudged down into the ham bands? Didn't find a ton of info on a quick search, but figured someone might know off hand before I devoted too much time to researching it
Hilarious Indonesian song (in a bluesy genre) about corporate greed and corruption. Great animation too
