But you should find me on fedi for the up-to-the-minute stuff.
Last year, Indienne became Chicago's first michelin-starred Indian resturant. They've been on my radar, and I've finally had an opportunity to drop in -- and let me start the post off by saying it was a fantastic experience. Indianne has made fancy-tasting-menu versions of dishes that are completely different from the original thing, but still capture all the flavours perfectly. And it's not always in a way you'd expect!
Over the last couple days, I've been showing a vistor around town. Naturally, this involved a lot of food -- but we did some other important Chicago activities like the architecture tour on the river.
I'd stopped making blog posts for tasting menus because it's a lot of work, but I want to get back to that. Here's my first tasting menu of 2024: the end-of-winter fare at Atelier in Lincoln Square.
My biggest Astro project went live last Friday, so I thought I'd write a bit about using it.
The tl;dr is "astro is pretty okay for making a websight".
I migrated off of WordPress.com for my blog hosting, to my own blogging software. All the important URLs should remain the same. It looks a bit nicer now, and I've got some other functionality running through here.
For the last 13 months, I have been operating a Mastodon (and later, glitch-soc) server. I’ve learned a lot in that time about both Mastodon (the software) and the fediverse as a whole.
There is a lot of Nuance involved, so I wanted to write everything I know down. This post will move seamlessly between social & technical matters because they each shape the other.
Gravis posted a wild ride tearing into the Phoenix Hyperspace dual-booty netbook OS over on cohost. Go read it. It’s good.
I had to visit SF for a professional event at the Moscone center. I stayed in the Mission district. There wasn’t a ton of time to explore the city, but here’s what I did find time for!
Since the One D&D playtest started, redditors have been calling out about the sky falling because the playtest material had not been released under the Open Game License (OGL).
People pointed out that none of the other Unearthed Arcana playtest material has been released under the OGL, but without WotC saying anything about their intention, nobody really knew what the licensing for OneDnD would be.
Yesterday, they posted on the DnD Beyond forms about their intentions for One D&D’s licensing model. I have some thoughts.
