Wishing a happy mango season to all of you who celebrate.

Near the incredibly popular Bengaluru Cafe, a mango truck parks his wares and the coconut-wallah sets up a superstore on the corner.

My two front planting beds doing nicely. Laughing Buddha in bed of rhubarb going to be great. Basil, marigold, chamomile, leeks, and a caper bush on the big bed up front. The seed catalog covers on the fence were liberated from the Smithsonian.

One more. Nandi is a limo driver for the gods. Here he is in a large bed of thyme chilling out with his son.

Palantir jumps into the fashion business, now sells a $239 "chore coat" meant to appeal to a “left-leaning, performative male type that would be in Prospect Park reading ‘Infinite Jest.’” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/style/palantir-ai-coat-french-chore-coat.html?unlocked_article_code=1.fFA.whzs.OuWKJNjE_js3&smid=url-share

Are you a techie and a musician? If so, you'll love our new series on Optical Music Recognition for Creatives.

In 2014, we asked for a copy of the Tennessee Code Annotated. The State of Tennessee stated they did not possess the record. Much discussion ensued over several years. https://law.resource.org/pub/us/code/tn/ tl;dr: No code for you. We don't have it and even if we did, you can't have it.

You probably didn’t notice, but I was unable to post any cat pictures for the last 5 days. My mastodon instance got all kerfuffled. My only choice was to sell the cat or call in a professional to discombobulate my install. I was able to move myself into @mastohost which did a great job on the transition. The cat said to say hello.

I’m all set for No Kings tomorrow.

still shaking my head over the mozilla leadership page. It is more, shall we say, "extensive" than I would have every imagined possible. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/ I mean, holy wow. Search the page for "VP" and you get 21 hits, there are 8 "chief" and 5 "managing" and 6 "executive."

FYI, the birthday of Public Resource is April 13, 2007. https://public.resource.org/public.resource.articles.html I drove to Sacramento on that day, parked my car in the State of California parking garage, and walked up to the window at the Office of the Secretary of State to file my papers in person. This act was duly certified and recorded, and so here we are.

Having successfully brought home from India 48.3 kg of DVDs that my friend Lawrence gave me (he has a ph.d in film studies from JNU so his collection is absolutely amazing) I am proceeding to jellyfinify my luggage to place these videos on the mac mini in my basement. Everyone has to have a hobby, and this one is now mine.

Bangalore airport terminal 2 totally deserted. Lots of cancelled flights. Nice that you can walk in the gardens and breathe some real air.

Really sweating out the flight status (as are so many others). I was supposed to be on tonight's flights but bumped myself to Sunday. I know people who have rerouted to, e.g., BLR to Mumbai to Ethiopia to NY for $2000 (economy) but those tickets are $5,000 now. Preparing to stay in Bangalore for a few weeks if necessary. Good food, calm here, just no way to get home.

@ai6yr sigh. Scheduled to transit in Dubai on Friday.

A pie a day is a really wonderful plan. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/feb/22/a-new-start-after-60-i-baked-a-pie-every-day-for-a-year-and-it-changed-my-life

Going to India tomorrow morning. My luggage so far consists of 384 tbytes of disk and a bottle of Kentucky bourbon. Don’t really need much more than that, do I?

A most amazing house in India. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/realestate/sustainable-house-karjat-india-gorge.html?unlocked_article_code=1.GlA.36Bn.RQxsIrfUo9Ci&smid=nytcore-ios-share Suspended over a gorge. Talk about a nice place to grow mangoes!

Going to the local bar for a beer with a friend. As I did not win the Nobel Prize in Economics, I don't believe I should have to pay for my drinks, as I no longer need to think purely of money.

I am disposing of my orange supply. From an initial batch of 1900 oranges at the end of last week, I'm now down to 75 dozen, which sit on my front porch in 25 bags. I don't worry about theft as I've got Garuda, King of the Eagles as well as other security systems in place.
