My avatar is a picture of my dad's boat, an Impulse 26. It's hard to see but that's me at the helm.

The background photo shows the aurora borealis. I took it myself near Fairbanks on the night of March 23rd, 2023.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

It is daylight savings time in the EU. So before you go to bed tonight, please remember to change the time to January 21, 2029.

When you wake up tomorrow, Ukraine has won the war, Elon Musk is in jail, Trump has died from a blood clot, JD Vance has lost the US election to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Bernie Sanders is now Vice President.

So please — and I cannot stress this enough — remember to change the time.

The divide between lightness and darkness has been haunting me lately

Our walk this morning included a stop for pup cups, then a long stroll along the beach where the pups chased balls in the shore break. Somehow they are still not tired yet!
