The Journey Back Home
Your roadmap to returning to who you were before the world told you who to be. It's about waking up to your own life and remembering yourself beneath the fear, the noise, and the conditioning...

Roger Simon, who wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune before becoming Politico's chief political columnist, died Thursday at 78 of pneumonia (Dan Balz/Washington Post)

Remembering Roger Simon, a political journalist with toughness and wit
Dan Balz pays tribute to “a craftsman of the first order,” who wrote for Chicago newspapers before joining Politico as a columnist. He died Thursday at 78.

@… yeah! I am now remembering Copa America 2024 had a pink card too

My god I am so tired and I cannot sleep. I am at about 6% of my normal mental capacity and the best I can do is scream into the void. I keep remembering and I hate it. I want to forget the world.

I wrote a blog post on using #Wikifunctions to determine the correct German article (der, die, or das) for a noun. It's an explainer for a tool I recently wrote and walks through calling Wikifunctions and how to fetch lexical data from #Wikidata.

Want real executive presence?
It's not about lowering your voice or cutting slides.
It's about remembering that authority lives inside you. Not in a title or rank.
When you stop performing for approval, you find groundedness. You listen fully. You respond in your own time.
That's gravitas.
What would change if you led from sovereignty instead of hierarchy?

how to get that corporate "it" factor
the surprisingly simple fast-track to gravitas

I'm riding around the northshore while listening to a podcast where they're talking about pulping unsold books and I'm remembering my days working at Barnes and Noble. We would try to sell a bunch of cheap paperbacks, and a lot of them wouldn't sell. Most book publishers will buy back unsold books but the cheap paperbacks weren't worth the shipping cost so we were told to tear the covers off, mail those back, and throw out the rest of the book.

On Monday, Trump remembered
Lindsey Graham as someone who called him too much, as a poor golfer and, in the manner of a person remembering a pet labrador, as someone who “loved being outside”.
There was praise, sure, but it was tempered with criticism, as if the president’s famously fragile ego meant he needed to assert dominance over Graham, even after the latter’s death.

Trump’s barbed eulogy for Lindsey Graham reveals how fragile his ego is
In interviews and social posts, the loyalty-obsessed president couldn’t help but weave criticism into his praise

25 years after 9/11, Strahan, Testaverde, others relive the emotional memories https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49873166/remembering-25th-anniversary-9-11-new-york-jets-giants-washington-buffalo-bills

Project I've been dreading for the past couple of weeks… One of the ⅛" jacks was damaged, so I emailed Morningstar, after trying to solder it back on, just in case they had any suggestions. Well, they very helpfully offered to just send me the main logic board since it "took no skill to replace" 😅
After remembering to make a backup of everything, I launched into it, and I'm very happy to say that a couple of hours later everything is working as intended!

Today, I'm remembering that time on January 6, 2021 when Lindsey Graham indicated he might actually have a backbone by speaking out against the illegal coup attempt and said that Biden legitimately won the election.
It didn't stick though. He returned to his cowardly support of Turnip leading up to the 2024 election.

I usually lean towards more geeky things, but a quarter century after 9/11, I've been remembering that day.
I went to a candlelight vigil that evening, held in the middle of the University of Minnesota campus (where I was, at the time, a graduate student).
The next time I attended a candlelight vigil was...this January, after the killing of Alex Pretti here in the Twin Cities. It was held in the center of the Macalester College campus, where I was a faculty member.

Remembering woke George W. Bush

The feeling of unity soon gave way to anger and division,
in large part due to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars,
begun by the George W Bush administration
and framed as necessary conflicts to help the US win the "war on terror".
“We launched two forever wars that were wholly ineffective at making us safer militarily,
and only sank our prestige in the world
– especially [in] Europe and the Middle East
– at the cost of thousands of American sold…

Americans on how 9/11 changed their lives: ‘It completely unraveled the US’
Twenty-five years later, the Guardian asks US readers how the attacks affected their lives, and their country

Rod Liddle is dead, apparently.
Humanity is very diverse, so it is possible that there are people to whom he was near and dear. We can have sympathy for them, if they exist, while remembering his life: a study in living as a horrible human being.

I use many boards in #CircuitPython. Remembering how each board names its pins is a pain. So I slop-ily made a tool to help https://todbot.github.io/CircuitPython_BoardViewer/
With it you can see how three ESP32-S3 boards differ:
- board.IOx - ESP32-S3 DevKitC
- board.Dx - QTPy ESP32-S3
- board.GPIOx - YD-ESP32-S3

Our culture celebrates dangerous driving in fictional and sporting contexts. But the moderating machines (for they will be machines) need to understand the things it's ok for our culture to celebrate.
Suddenly remembering the MP, of a previous government, who proposed banning the video depiction of bladed weapons - ostensibly as an anti-gang move - possibly without considering the broader effect.

Mick Shots: Making huge personnel difference https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/mick-shots-making-huge-personnel-difference

As always, I wonder what the hell investors are thinking. But I always keep remembering the same thing:
- Investment isn’t about •actual• value, except maybe asymptotically. Investment is about correctly predicting what others will •perceive• as valuable.
- When some asset is hot but sketchy on the fundamentals, it doesn't matter whether some people know it or everyone knows it. It's just a game of chicken: just don't be the last to bail.
- Thus the old saying about betting against ill-founded popularity: the market can stay irrational a lot longer than you can stay solvent.

I just watched one AI agent learn from another. Claude suggested a dumb way to do something, I asked Gemini and it gave me a better way. I then showed it to Claude and it agreed it was better and remembered it for next time.
Look, I know all that really happened is the stochastic parrot wrote some strings into MEMORY.md. It's not "thinking" or "remembering", it's a giant pile of logistic functions running some simple program commands. But it sure feels like one AI learned something from another AI. And it functionally acts like that.
The more I work with AIs the more I wonder if simulating intelligence and being intelligent are meaningfully different.

My occasional use of agentic programming has resulted in a temporal knowledge graph database that now supports remembering stuff about a home, which has been up and running for most of this year, and has now been cleaned up, generalized to additional domains and I'm adding vehicles. Looking for input on the use cases people have for keeping track of their bikes, cars, race-cars, trailers, parts collections etc. over time #WierdCarMastodon #ClassicCars https://github.com/adrianco/the-goodies/blob/main/docs/vehicles-proposal.md

I have a hard time remembering that Fedora uses something called DNF to update itself. What does DNF stand for, I wondered? "Dandified YUM". YUM is Yellowdog Updater, Modified", an evolution of YUP which was some PowerPC thing.
Actually it's all just RPM.
