    Kiawah Island Marathon 2025: Hello, The Wall

    It’s been a couple of days since the Kiawah Island Marathon, and my legs have mostly stopped hurting. There’s a lot to like about the race: it’s very well-organized, with a high-quality shirt, ample opportunities for number pickup, and very clear communication across the board. The course was staffed with…

    Update: Published to the Chrome Store! Latest build and GitHub! After I pushed out my first version of Prompt Droid (née Prompt Drawer) a couple of weeks ago, I had a couple of realizations: So here we are, Prompt Droid has been rewritten and fixed up so that it now…

    Stupid Weekend Project: Prompt Droid edition

    I love a good Stupid Weekend Project: some dumb hardware or software idea that you wake up thinking about and feel compelled to crank on to see where it goes. Here’s a new goofy thing for managing AI prompt snippets.

    The sublime joys of running before dawn

    I start a lot of posts about running, but I almost never publish them. It’s difficult to find something useful to say about a subject that has been covered exhaustively by other runners and that non-runners find self-indulgent and tedious. Which isn’t a wrong take, to be honest. Who wants…

    Honey, I bought a CD player

    Last night I saw the Drive-by Truckers in Atlanta. They’re about as solid a rock-and-roll band as still exists, with a Southern country influence that feels difficult to find in rock music in 2024. They’re the best, and I try to see them every time they’re in town. I visited…

    Virginia is for (book) lovers and, briefly, me

    My wife and I spent last weekend in Virgina Beach and driving up and down the Eastern Shore to a small town called Onley, VA (pop. 533). I have a lifelong love of shabby beach towns, though Virginia Beach is less shabby than most. High-rise hotels, wide boardwalk, soft sand.…

    How I learned to stop worrying and get a colonoscopy

    Getting a colonoscopy isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it’s one of the weirdest.

    Turn into the torpedo: life lessons from Tom Clancy

    One of the topics for which I’m willing to have a fistfight to the death is that “The Hunt for Red October” is one of the best movies ever made. I’ve seen it a whole bunch of times — it’s a mainstay on basic cable and can generally be found…

    I love gaming, but I’m not sure I like games

    I’ve had times in my life where I was not only a gamer, I was a hardcore gamer. I considered gaming not only a hobby but an identity. Not a particularly cool identity, or one that I was especially proud of, but gaming is where I spent my time, money…

    Ouroboros of Garbage: When AI Feeds on Itself

    There’s reasonable concern in the world that AI is going to fill the internet with such a torrent of search-engine optimized crap that there’s not going to be much left of interest for actual human readers. The problem is compounded by the reality that AI models are trained on public…
