I’ve always said that I’ll keep living in the truck as long as it keeps making sense in the larger context of my life. And for the past ~6 years (plus or minus a pandemic ), I think that’s been the case. I’m young, healthy, unencumbered by other humans depending on me for survival, and have had access to food, gyms, and other useful resources provided by employers. But now I’ve gone and quit my job to start my own thing , and suddenly ..

Overview The Squeezebox Keyboard is a custom-designed ergonomic computer keyboard I have been working on for nearly a year now. The primary design driving factors include: Wanting the keys really close together both within a column and across columns If there was a nice switch smaller than the Kailh chocs, I'd be interested "Home corner" concept for the home row and bottom row taking curvature to an extreme and making a straight-up co....

As is often the case these dark winter seasons, I’ve fallen into a bit of a funk. Inspiration it seems is as rare as sunlight, and sunlight is scarce indeed in the winters of the north. I do know what is missing, novelty. I’ve fallen into consuming “content”. Infinite scroll is the torture rack of the spirit. What is necessary doing new things and seeing new inspiring sights, exposing myself to new inspiring thoughts.

another year - Ok, 2021 ended. I realized I didn’t blog in November or December. Wonder what happened. I think I didn’t do very well in October on any of these goals and the last two months got busy. Anyhow, lets reflect Retrospective October Running: I don’t think I finished the running goal....

WFH Day 657 Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great party to start the new year. Let’s all hope that we stay healthy and safe given the uncertainty of the still ongoing pandemic. New year, new beginnings. Everything is possible, and I’m looking forward to some exciting times. I still have the company-provided sabbatical that I must take this year (it will expire otherwise). I’m looking forward to traveling to Yosemite in February, N..

I'm starting the new year with a new job. To paraphrase a friend, "it's just moving from one $BIGCORP to another", but it's still exciting. I worked my last gig for 5 years, so I'm nervous, but also very ready to do something new. While I'm doing one new thing I might as well do another. Taking some time off between jobs has given me enough breathing room to redo my website.

I’m going to start keeping a list of random facts I learn. I’m primarily recording natural organic discoveries, e.g. from conversations with real people in real life, so most entries will have a personal story behind it, although I’m not recording those stories so it’ll be an exercise for the reader to imagine. There are actually some from before 2021 to make up for the fact that I decided to do this a little after the start of 2021.

This year I’ve read twenty-one books or 5903 pages. That’s fewer books than last year (28 / 8064), the year before (25 / 8394), and the one before that (30 / 8447). Heck, I must look back at 2014 to score a win in my very own yearly reading challenge. What surprises me is not much the number of books but the pages I read, which constitutes a more relevant metric . Over the previous three years, that number stayed firmly over 8k while dropp..

Rewrite all target _blank links to use rel noopener (Javascript)

It's fairly common for sites to include in external link anchors, to indicate that the link should open in a new window/tab. However, this practice is actually quite dangerous - the new site/window is able to access the original tab using Javascript (specifically window.opener, leading to techniques such as tabnapping. This can be prevented by including rel=noopener in link anchors. I wrote this function some time ago to detect externa..

Flea Markets = Source of Treasures # A few weeks ago, at the local flea market, I was very lucky to find a copy of The Rites of Passage by Arnold Van Gennep. It is an Italian edition from 1960s and it belonged to the library of a nearby village. It shows the signs of time, but for the price (about 1€) I couldn’t really complain! I immediately started studying it and I was glad to find, since the first pages, references to The Golden B....

Was having a conversation with a founder earlier today and the topic of hiring functional leaders came up. I offered one of my common pieces of advice which was don’t hold the reins too tightly once you hire them. It’s something I see happen over and over to first time founders. You hire a new VP of Product and then still continue to oversee so much of the product process yourself. It is understandable, it’s your baby, you’ve spent years bu....
