<li>What have I chosen, what have I inherited, and what am I unknowingly assimilating?</li>

<p>James obviously had some idea of who I was, and he believed in it enough to tell me to trust his memory to be carried on the wind of story, and to focus on being myself. He used to say, “You have no idea how proud I am that we are brothers”. I still don’t understand why, but, I’m doing my best to live up to that praise and honor by being the best version of myself I can be. I am doing my best to discover my verse, and to add it to the chorus with his, in my own voice.</p>
<p>Bruce Lee said that, to be a Martial Artist meant “honestly expressing yourself”. He also said that the essence of Jeet Kune Do was to “absorb that which is useful; discard that which is not; add what is uniquely your own”. It’s up to you to figure out what is uniquely your own, and boldly express it.</p>

Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
<summarytype="html">Here are my thoughts on news across the internet this week. We touch on rent denialism, collapsing job markets, corporate productivity theater, and the many ways AI is being oversold, misused, or shoved where it doesn’t belong. Along the way I rant about enshittification, ownership (of code, hardware, and ideas), bad APIs, worse management, the slow death of the old internet, and why UNIX got it right decades ago. It’s part news roundup, part cultural autopsy, part theological and philosophical musing — ending, as usual, with a reminder to ignore the noise, give your attention to what you love, and keep your eyes on God and the horizon. It's worth what you paid for it.</summary>
<summarytype="html">Development log entry for the week ending 27 June 2026. Improvements to libakerror logging, libakstdlib gets linked list and binary tree implementations, and I'm banging my head against libakgl to get binary space partitioning implemented correctly, as well as documentation improvements to all of these libraries.</summary>
<summarytype="html">Here are my takes on the news for this week. It's worth what you paid for it. Compromised accounts pushing AI-generated code into Fedora, AI lawyers winning real cases, AI replacing HR, autonomous weapons, insecure AI-written software, and the growing tension between centralized AI power and the need for affordable local compute. Alongside that, I lament how technology is being hollowed out by regulation, AI slop, and corporate control, while celebrating the people fighting back through self-hosting, small efficient software, open communities, and old hardware given new life. I celebrate humanity through reflections on online communities, strange internet hobbies, real bloggers, bedtime procrastination, and the simple joy of finding other genuine humans still making things on the web.</summary>
<summarytype="html">Devlog entry. More ESP32 projects, this time focusing on analog to digital converters, touch sensors, photoresistors, and a demo project with a joystick and WS2821 featuring my own breadboard design and no tutorial code.</summary>
<summarytype="html">updates to my C stdlib library, several libakgl improvements (pluggable physics and rendering backends), and ESP32 projects (fun with Arduino IDE, transistors, oscilloscopes and logic analyzers!)</summary>
<summarytype="html">Development log entry. Goodbye GitHub, C error handling library improvements, a new C standard library wrapper, and a new C SDL3 game library I'm playing with</summary>
<summarytype="html">Musings on the rift that the "AI Revolution" is exposing in the field of computer programming, that being a divide between programmers who view it as an artform, and who enjoy the act of programming itself, and those who actually do not enjoy programming, and just want to get around it faster to be more productive.</summary>
<summarytype="html">Musings on android source code releases, the return of the keyboard PC, some AI workflows are just event driven architecture, sociopaths in civil service, what happens when AI interfaces replace proper APIs, and comprehensible interfaces to quantum computing chips</summary>
