  Just gave up a domain from an old project that I kept around for 20 years without ever really doing much with it. I *know* that I will never do anything with it ever again. But I still hesitated to turn off Auto-Renew. Letting go of old unused domains is like burying an old dream.

  If your cybersecurity team tells you that the software "escaped" during testing, it's time to fire your cybersecurity team.

  Google shutting down their cancer research so they can focus on making their other services worse is quite the strategic move.

  While in Tokyo I had a few hours to myself and visited the Extinct Media Museum. What a cool place! It's a tiny museum filled to capacity with cameras, audio players, cell phones and computers. What's really great is that you can grab all of the objects and handle them - most are not operable, but it's amazing to get the sense memory of holding an old flip phone or a 1980s camera.

  Oh wow - I missed this, but a week ago the BlenderNation site was using a still of my Tropical Sunset Loop as header image for the site. You can see it here in the header gallery: https://www.blendernation.com/headers/tropical-sunset-loop/ Thanks @BartV@mastodon.social

  At the current pricing and expected rate increases, the only jobs AI can reliably replace while being cost effective will be C-level executives.

  Just saw a TV interview with a local company here in Osaka that does wall murals as art projects and also for promotional purposes. Their website lists hundreds of cool murals in the Osaka area: https://www.wallshare-inc.com/works/allworks

  Whenever I hear that some idiot was burning through thousands of dollars with AI instead of just doing their fucking job themselves and managers encouraged this situation for months without a shred of oversight, it makes me despair. What a waste. https://techstartups.com/2026/05/28/company-accidentally-spent-500-million-on-claude-ai-in-one-month-after-forgetting-usage-limits/

  The Republicans want $220 million for "White House hardening". We should have never built it out of tofu. Big mistake.

  @TechConnectify @ErikUden I’d be completely ok with a Mastodon client with a response interface where the “Delete” button is 3x larger than the “Post” button. I often write a response, look at it for a minute, and then delete it without posting. I said what I needed to say, but no reason to bother other people with it. Just hit “Favorite” and move on.

  I'm sorry, but if somebody spends $32,970 for a ticket to see a soccer game - even if it is the World Cup final - they need to have a good sit down chat with a friend. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/may/08/world-cup-final-ticket-prices-tripled-fifa

  @gknauss Yeah, the same question has occurred to me. There seem to be a lot of people in this industry that hate what the job is all about.

  If the Empire forces you to build a Death Star, make sure to leave the exhaust ports to the reactor chamber accessible for... maintenance. Document your work.

  Survey at work asks what AI tools one might be using and how much time I am saving per week. But there is no option to say I don’t use AI. It’s like in a sci-fi movie, when a crew member realizes they are the only one left that is not infected by the zombie plague.

  Considering an incredibly expensive space cruise of 10 days with unavoidable discomfort to get 45 minutes completely disconnected from humanity... Sounds like a great deal.
