I know this is already basically what the essay says to do because I can read

tyranny of structurelessness? what's the big deal. I'd just make up some structures. problem solved

Cannot believe it has been 10 years but I still love Ladykiller in a Bind #lkiab

*slams door open with loud crashing noise* you guys. you'll never believe what day I just found out it is

My 5-star review of Against Tech Oligarchy

tired: naming and cache invalidation are two of the hardest problems in computer science

inspired: If I change my name to Conway it might increase the likelihood that I come up with something that's critical to computer science in 30 years

I'm relieved to find out today that neither Conway's Game of Life or Conway's Law were invented by Lynn Conway. She did a third unrelated important computer science thing. I have been quietly worried for some time that I was deadnaming her by mistake.

Now I can quit this game?????

hey. is it still bisexuality day. did i miss it. is it too late for me, a bisexual, to celebrate

My friends have been playing https://krillion.io/ which is a game where you try to think of rare answers quickly. It's definitely created with LLM assistance and I (semi jokingly) believe it to be a data mining operation so the text extruder can be trained on rarity (similarly to how a captcha is actually data mining for bicycle identification). Or at the very least it's training us to give rare text to computers, which benefits the operators more than it does us.
I have been playing "golf rules krillion" instead - a self imposed game on the same website where I have to answer all the questions validly but with the most common answer I can think of. My goal is to get 70 points exactly, 10 on each question. I have not succeeded yet!

I have been corrected that this was part of Ontario Culture Days. Anyway if you want to make a button we're closed now so you'll have to ask me another time

We're open at https://www.kwartzlab.ca/ today for Doors Open Waterloo Region!

Lots of activities for you to try with us. Come make a button with me! Try gelli plate printing, weaving, laser cutting, and more!

saw an evil robot dog irl for the first time today and idk, I thought it'd be bigger and cuter. someone also brought a real dog for comparison purposes; overall the event felt a bit exploitative of the real dog which kept barking when the robot got too close

https://va.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_njquihrpkv1svxn1t_480.mp4 has ruined me for robot doggies. They will never be this cute IRL

New blog post! https://anne.loves.technology/blog/rules/2026/09/11/order-intro.html

you don't have to learn morse code anymore for either of these activities

Every time I see a quilt at like, the county fair, the library, wherever quilts are exhibited, I think to myself "maybe I should get really into quilting"

I have noticed myself having this same reflex about amateur radio. I know nothing of it but, what if I got really into it?

The Canadian government is continually creating fun new ways for me to log into websites

annual time to repost one of my favorite memes

I think actually we should rename the other four lakes Lake Ontario just for fun

new acronym: OOOOO
