I’d never heard of Jack Sharp until just today, but I’m very glad I did. From the site’s about page: Jack Sharp (1928-1992), born in Harrold, Bedfordshire, UK. Moved to Geneva, Switzerland in 1955 to join CERN as an engineer and raise his family. Loved life, the outdoors and fully embraced anything he took interest […]

Typos of the New York Times
Discovered the wonderful @nyttypos this morning. A fantastic Twitter account I discovered this morning. The account’s bio: I am an appellate lawyer and persnickety dude. As a hobby, I correct typos in the Times, which no longer employs copy editors and consequently has tons of typos Some of my favourite corrections so far are just […]
Underwater datacentres
Microsoft filled a mobile datacenter with nitrogen, and lowered it down 117 feet to the ocean’s floor off Scotland in 2018. They pulled it up earlier this summer too see how things were looking. “Our failure rate in the water is one-eighth of what we see on land Seems like things went pretty good! The […]
Home audio studio, 1980s vs 2020
I don’t know this blog at all, but was intrigued with this post. A “proper” setup in the 1980s involved reverb machines and DATs and mixers and tape recorders, to the tune of £10,893 ($14,000USD). Assuming they didn’t adjust for inflation, that’s almost $30,000 in equipment in today’s money. Through the magic of computers, they […]

Books people re-read
Great answers to the interesting question “what books have you re-read”. I’ve re-read a few of Hemmingway’s and Steinbeck’s, but I can’t think of any other than those. I reread both A Farewell to Arms last year, and The Grapes of Wrath just last year. The Grapes of Wrath in particular stands up very well. […]
