Interested in SF, science, games both video and tabletop, a little bit of finance & economics, and alas US and Canadian politics because I have to. Used to write until I went broke trying.

Age verification won't protect children, but it will target queer and trans people, and deliver a bonanza of egregious privacy violations to bad actors across the internet.

The Xbox 360 succeeded because we focused on what gamers and game developers wanted.
Not what publishers wanted. Not building a “something-else killer”. Not what Windows wanted. We enabled game developers to make great games people wanted to play.

20 years ago today Xbox 360 launched. The power was never the console - it was you. You camped out at midnight, built lasting communities, and showed us what gaming could mean. You made that generation endure for two decades. Thank you.

This was such a fun photo to set up, taken by Thomas Reiter through a sleep station window on Mir. The sun was so bright we were all squinting like crazy. But I love how it shows the texture of the Shuttle's rough, protective hide, and the glimpse of humanity (and my moustache) against the universe.

Too many people drone on about the costs of net zero energy strategies without considering the returns on those investments. It turns out that (properly managed) they can be remarkably more profitable than the status quo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHL_...

Woke up early because my guts were making me regret some choices on yesterday's menu and decided to make use of the extra time to do my portfolio review.
Such a pity that the website for my trading account is erroring out...

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.
So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.
