I like Ben’s approach to ‘Resolutions’ : 🔗 A 2026 checklist - not least because 🔗 the usual approach is more often than not going to fail.

Might try it along side of my 🖇️ 3Words approach.


🔗 ExtraBar - Custom Menu Bar for macOS

Apps like Bartender and Ice help hide icons, but they don’t help you actually do things faster. I wanted deep links, custom actions, and keyboard shortcuts without installing a dozen helper apps.

I appreciate the 14 day money back gurantee - but no real clues as to how this is going to generally work - let alone specfically for me …

I know about it because of @ameripie - who clearly likes it. $9.99 - what can go wrong?


Not yet finished the series - which is telling even of itself - but my review is likely going to lean towards 🎬🔗 Andrei’s


Sometimes the 2025 reviews seem to be so heavy with bad news:

🔗 12 NASA Satellite Images That Tell the Story of Earth in 2025

But sometimes - the good news does just pushes through.

🔗 The Year in Cheer

Have a better year than 2025

My sense of the “right” way to handle this puzzle is to think of it as a network and use some powerful result from graph theory to solve it in an instant. But since the only thing I know about graph theory is that it exists, I went about it differently.

At first blush, the German heist strikes me as less Oceans 11 and more Sexy Beast.


Happy New Year

Lets hope it’s a good one

Jevons paradox is coming to knowledge work. By making it far cheaper to take on any type of task that we can possibly imagine, we’re ultimately going to be doing far more. The vast majority of AI tokens in the future will be used on things we don’t even do today as workers: they will be used on the software projects that wouldn’t have been started, the contracts that wouldn’t have been reviewed, the medical research that wouldn’t have been discovered, and the marketing campaign that wouldn’t have been launched otherwise.

This is the way of things at 1587, which is ostensibly a mashup of jersey numbers but also a credible restaurant tab. Complaining about the prices at 1587 Prime is like complaining about the wind on Mount Everest: predictable, but hardly the worst part of the experience. All the same, there is no need for anything this mediocre to cost this much.


🔗 The Future of Software Development is Software Developers

The hard part has always been – and likely will continue to be for many years to come – knowing exactly what to ask for.


Anyone who honestly wants to be young again has never lived, only imagined, only masqueraded.

CNN’s Harry Enten Says …

No idea why - but Lettrboxd suddenly sent about 30 posts from its feed into my blog, so had to spend some time deduping - only to discover that it has also resent all the image used in the feeds - and so added to my upload library. #Weird.


We should all do the right thing by and for our children ...

Protecting children’s online safety should be a top priority for everyone, as they are vulnerable to harmful influences from companies prioritizing profit over safeguarding. Sharing the ‘Words of Jax’,


Me: “Thanks, man. That was awesome. My powers as a driver are pretty limited to dealing with unruly passengers, so that was great.”
