- Some RSS feeds are fantastic but far too noisy to add to most RSS readers directly. Without serious filtering, you'd get swamped with more posts than you could possibly read, while missing the hidden gems. I built Scour specifically because I wanted to find the great articles I...

- Six years ago, while I should have been studying for finals, I patched and compiled X11 (and all its dependencies) to run on a jailbroken iPad. I wanted to run real applications on my tablet. I've spent the last few months weeks days hours building vibecoding something that...

- Date and time management libraries in many programming languages are famously bad. Python's datetime module comes to mind as one of the best (worst?) examples, and so does JavaScript's Date class. It feels like these libraries could not have been made worse on purpose, or so I...
- A month ago I published “Look Back at 2025” where I mentioned that the past year has been super stable and how grateful I was for it. This state didn’t last much longer. I lost my job, one of my best friends was diagnosed with a cancer and another good buddy of mine had a heart...
- I’ve reviewed the Bose Ultra Open and Huawei Free Clip earbuds before, and subsequently tried the SoundPEATS PearlClip Pro as a cheaper alternative. But the much cheaper PearlClips just didn’t do it for me. However, when SoundPEATS asked if I wanted to try a pair of Clip1...

- Herman's blog Home Now Projects Blog 20 Jan, 2026 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. While I don't fully subscribe to the above quote, since I think it's important to continually improve things that aren't explicitly broken, every now and then something I use works so well that I...
- Remember files? .doc.doc.doc.doc.jpg.jpg.svg You write a document, hit save, and the file is on your computer. It’s yours. You can inspect it, you can send it to a friend, and you can open it with other apps. Files come from the paradigm of personal computing. This post,...

- I’ve been slowly reading my copy of “The Internet Phone Book” and I recently read an essay in it by Elan Ullendorff called “The New Turing Test”. Elan argues that what matters in a work isn’t the tools used to make it, but the “expressiveness” of the work itself (was it made...
- Chapterizer (not a great name, I know) is a tool I wrote to generate books. Originally used Cairo and Pango to generate PDF files. It works and was fairly easy to get started but has its own set of downsides: Cairo always produces RGB PDFs, which are not accepted by printing...
- Just heard the news from the WULFF Den Podcast that Epilogue has released pre-orders for the next ROM backup tool in their “Operator” series for the Super NES (SNES) and Super Famicom called the “SN Operator”. The SN Operator pre-order costs $60 USD plus shipping. This is great...
- Nothing is ever as good as it first seems and nothing is ever as bad as it first seems. — A best memory paraphrase of advice given to me by Vice Admiral Joe Dyer, former chief test pilot of the US Navy and former Commander of NAVAIR. [You can follow me on social media:...
- With no surprise the end of one year marks the start of the next. But managing a good working environment on macOS has long been a game of “hope for the best.” We’ve all been there: a curl | sh here, a manual brew install there, and six months later, you’re staring at a broken...

- If you read my previous post about gaming on mac, you know I have a soft spot for running Windows games on Apple Silicon. Early this year I upgraded from a M1 MacBook Air to an M3 Max MacBook Pro. Naturally, I had to test three completely different generations of games at it:...
- If you’re a regular reader of my site, you’ll have noticed that in the last few months I’ve been making a number of “fragments” posts. Such a post is a short post with a bunch of little, unconnected segments. These are usually a reference to something I’ve found on the web,...
- I’ve been trying to work out why successive advances in GenAI models don’t feel particularly different to me, even as others react with genuine excitement. I use these tools constantly and have done since ChatGPT4 was released nearly 3 years ago. I couldn’t imagine a world...

- From next February, workers at Instagram must be in the office, five days a week. This makes Meta the second tech giant after Amazon to mandate a 5-day RTO. Will more big companies do the same?...
- Through my 4 (!) podcasts I obviously have built up a lot of opinions on podcasting over the years. Here's some of them. The two outlier podcasts of our time are Dwarkesh and TBPN, and I will explain my mental model of them in a spearate post - the following advice is what I...
