Looking at temperature departures over the last 6 months... note some of the hotspot regions, including of course the Arctic, but also central Asia and western North America.

After using MS Publisher and Inkscape, and trying Word, Adobe Express, and Canva to make a 2-page handout, I'm quickly coming to like Scribus. It does not try to do anything for me and I have control of every position down to the thousandth of a unit. Yes, learning comes with some surprises (oh, that's how I change text color?) but I'm getting a better understanding for why serious desktop publishing programs work the way they do.

The Denver Post just charged me $2 for a 2-year subscription and says I'll pay $22/month when the promotional period is over. That's fine and all (and it did get me to resubscribe), but I don't like the mixed messages about what their coverage is worth.

Rather than these pricing games, I prefer the simplicity of @coloradosun -- charge me one fair price per year, with no surprises.

Tonight's movie can only be All the President's Men, released 50 years ago today. It's one of my all-time favorites and I've seen it at least a dozen times. Tonight will be my first time watching it in 4K.

You must picture Sam Altman holding a knife to Tim Berner-Lee's throat. We are in a truly existential level of danger when it comes to the survival of the open web, across every front. This year is when it all comes to a head. https://anildash.com/2026/03/27/endgame-open-web/
