I loved Perfect Dark but never completed the game as my system would always freeze due to the number of explosions during the last level’s boss battle. Even with the expansion memory pack thing.

In seasons of life where there are a lot of new things happening I tend to re-read books or re-listen to familiar music whereas other times I find myself in more of an exploratory mood. The Count of Monte Cristo is my current go to re-read.

Interesting, the way I think I think while walking/hiking is much less wrestling one specific topic to come to a conclusion and more bouncing around between many things. Maybe I don't even really conclude things but instead just m

How I read what they wrote is that instead of mindlessly listening to anything just to listen to something as the default, they prefer to instead be selective if they decide to listen to something.

When you set out do you have a mental agenda or do you find that your mind gravitates toward worthwhile topics once you're walking? I'm more a mind wanderer, though for a season I tried to mentally prepare myself for the transitio

It is interesting how much more natural a side-by-side walking conversation feels than a sit-across-the-table coffee shop conversation.

Another benefit of regular walking is that you grow more attentive and courteous to pedestrians when you are driving.

Getting to know the area you live is a great reason to start walking. One of my favorite things to find in Santa Barbara are old concrete stamps marking which company/contractor poured that section of sidewalk. Often these are 100+ yea

After walking to and from work for 5 years along the same route, I found that I prefer walking without listening to anything on headphones. Just thinking increases awareness of my surroundings, allows me time to process existing thoughts as

Using different starting words makes Wordle feel more like a word game as opposed to a strategy optimization game.

I routinely visit the same websites on a daily basis and don’t understand why I have to accept cookies to the same sites over and over again. Shouldn’t they keep track of that?

YES This is the same feeling I had playing RotJ. Having made this website and hiked a good amount in the local area, I am pretty adept at navigating around this site without looking as well.

Fellow Picasa user in mourning here. I have settled on XnView MP [0] as my Picasa replacement in terms of managing my photos locally. It took a bit of UI + options tweaking to get it close, but it is pretty fast for my purposes (quickly bro

I enjoy architecture and interior design photos on IG. In the future I imagine that computer generated renderings will be impossible to distinguish from photographs. Sometimes I wonder if next generation algorithms will not only show you wh

I’m working on re-publishing the city council meeting minutes from my city into a more readable and searchable format that will use RSS. Right now there is no way to know how my city council member votes on anything without manually looking

My original side project is now my full-time job. Most of my current side projects are flavors of what I am already good at and have success doing. These haven’t made money (yet), but I think of them as successful because the learning trans

I agree with you. My original thought was to help people better negotiate at the local hospital/health system by knowing what other people pay. Perhaps like financial and tech firms, paying fines would just get rolled into the ledger

How about starting a non-profit that paid people $X to upload an redacted image of their medical bill? Or maybe it could be where you get discounts at participating local businesses when you upload. Kind of like a weird proof of work concep

Yeah, hurricane deck trail looks like maybe .25mi uphill away from where the plane ends up. Access would be tough in general, plus there is a road closure right now making the trek even longer.

Oddly enough, I'm familiar with the wilderness where the plane crashed and based on the video am pretty confident I know where the crash site was. Am now interested in hiking out to it sometime too. In the case that this was real, it i
