  • 🔗 Treat yourself to the 90s club aesthetics of the Wipeout games

    Virtual clubbing, you say? It’s tough to top Psygnosis’ Wipeout series and its legacy, starting with composer Tim Wright aka CoLD SToRAGE. So let’s queue up a mix.
    Great mix.
  • 🔗 koaning.io: My New Home Setup

    Better Patterns for Development Work.
    Despite my undying love for my mid-2014, I've been itching for a new computer for the better part of a year. I really like this idea that Vincent has setup working: a beefy Intel NUC PC running Linux to handle Docker etc.. and uses VSCode to develop on it from his Mac.

    I've heard of people doing this before, but they're usually using a terminal for all of their development on a server in the cloud.

    While I'm reluctant to use VSCode (because I'm still not sure I trust Microsoft yet), it appears a similar can also be done with PyCharm. Maybe this is the solution to my building a PC/getting a PC itch.
  • 🔗 How the Pandemic Now Ends

    Cases of COVID-19 are rising fast. Vaccine uptake has plateaued. The pandemic will be over one day—but the way there is different now.
    Most people will meet the virus eventually; we want to ensure that as many people as possible do so with two doses of vaccine in them, and that everyone else does so over as much time as possible.

    That's what I've been thinking with the latest surge in Japan. I’ll probably get it, but at least I got my shots so my immune system isn’t completely  naive. 
  • 🔗 Among Giants

    Among Giants is a short documentary about a group of activists who lived in the trees of a Humboldt County redwood forest for four years in order to stop logging in the area.
    4 years. Glad they were successful.
  • 🔗 Heating Up in Tokyo

    Tokyo’s humid subtropical climate means hot, muggy summers are unavoidable; the U.S. Southeast and northern India fall into the same climate zone. However, there are other underlying factors exacerbating the conditions. Human-caused global warming has contributed to a 1.5°C (2.7°F) increase in temperatures in Tokyo since 1964 and a 2.86°C (5.14°F) increase since 1900.
    Heat Island Effect in Tokyo (from the article)


    Heat Island Effect is an oft forgotten aspect of us covering the land with asphalt and concrete. What always shocks me, even in my suburban Yokohama neighborhood, there's plenty of green, but not much shade. Especially if you're traveling around noon when the sun's directly above.
