I wish there were some kind of tool that would do a diff between two audio files so I could string together all the ums and ers and I means I've cut out and send them to the person that others praise for being so eloquent and fluent.

I’ve been looking for baggable rabbits, but this graticulette is mostly sea, and even this one was out of reach except at low tide, which wasn’t for about another 6 hours.

Ayjay and lots of other good people wish Word would die in a fire. Me too.

Eat This Newsletter points the finger at

* alt-protein energetics: the sums don't add up
* breastfeeding: formula looks "less like brain damage and more like a really bad kindergarten teacher", and
* food allergies and intolerance: the immune system loses its mind.

Is it possible, in my wildest dreams, that the latest XKCD from Randall was inspired by a recent episode of Eat This Podcast?

Twenty years ago today, I was impressed with WordPress, the new kid on my block. https://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/getting-to-grips-with-wordpress

It is still pretty impressive, if it gives you what you want.

A lot of Mark Nottingham's post about improving feeds is plumbing and protocols I scarcely understand. The thing that disrupts my feed reading most is feeds that resend the latest 20 posts each time there's something new. Might be related to doubled images. Whatever, I dislike it a lot.

Not exactly exploring. Just happened to notice this Rabbit right by my usual route for a long bicycle ride, so I had to bag it on the way home.

Composite image. On the left a map showing the location of the quest and my position. On the right a view down a leaf-covered slope to a road. lined with plane trees and umbrella pines. Two groups of people are walking beside the road. In the foreground are shrubs, including small Ailanthus bushes.

Bagged this on Friday, and it had been so long since the previous Rabbit I clear forgot to take the screenshot that enables me to post a day later. Or three days later.

Rain at last, and it smells … like victory.
