Two years ago, on February 6, 2023, two massive earthquakes hit the south eastern region of Türkiye and the north western region of Syria. These earthquakes ended up being responsible for over 60,000 deaths. As I wrote about and gave video updates about, I and a number of friends drove to the earthquake zone, and started providing aid within about 72 hours after the quakes hit. We continued to pro

I’ve done my fair share of manually creating subtitles over the years. It can be quite a tedious and time-consuming process, so for a while now I’ve been on the lookout for a way to make that process faster. Over the last few days, I’ve also continued to be playing around with Whisper, which I wrote about before. While playing, I found a workflow that I wish I had had access to y

After the utterly tragic earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria on February 6th of this year, my friends and I have been doing our best to help those affected. We’re just a small group, so we can’t help at the scale that big NGOs with millions of dollars of funding can do. But, we do speak Turkish, and we have been on the ground with people affected. So, we have been able to get to know peop

Around that time, I probably listened to his album Songs of Sorrow / Songs of Hope on repeat like 50x in a row. Well, yesterday one of his songs came up after a long season without any of his music, and the last section of the song was especially powerf

I’m an ever-growing fan of the webcomic medium. I love the diversity of styles. I love the jokes. I love reading the archives of a good webcomic and seeing the creator’s progression and improvement overtime. Maybe most of all, I just love getting a chuckle when a comic comes up on my RSS reader , and getting to share that chuckle by passing it on to a friend. (Dear friends, sorry about

I recently stumbled upon Johnny Harris’ video from a few years ago titled “ What I learned by befriending Iranians on Facebook ”. In it, he talks about how, in an effort to better understand the situation in Iran in 2015, he reached out to a couple dozen Iranians online to hear their stories. This act of befriending, talking with, and hearing stories of Iranians — a group that Ha

The blank page is scary. It’s unclear what “should” go on it. “What should I write about?” “What should I draw?” “What should I make?” Not to mention, there’s the terrifying element of we don’t want to mess this up! If we leave the page blank, it stays clean . We can have the satisfaction of not having made any mistakes. We know we

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Free/Libre Open Source Software. With rare exception, all the software I run on my computer is Open Source ( Brave , Bitwarden , to name a couple highly valuable and accessible favorites). Similarly, when I help friends and loved ones setup a new digital device, I always try to encourage them towards the free/libre and open source version of a given pro

Building a /friends page made me think about the people I have let drift out of my life. A link cannot maintain a friendship, but it can be a reason to reach out and tell someone they still matter.
