Here are some of my popular posts from 2025. Now I can post a link to this post on the various social networks where I'm 99% dormant so folks can catch up. (If you're wondering about my active socials, that's mostly Mastodon and a little Bluesky.) Anyhow, behold the posts:
- I once again wrote many-many small puzzles during the month of EnigMarch. This one was popular, having a laugh as DOGE made bad budget "cuts" along with typos. (This one was funnier before the reports of the hundreds of thousands of deaths resulting from those budget cuts came out, so pretend that news hasn't hit yet when reading): One Money Don't Stop No Show
- I snapped a pic of the building that housed Twitter HQ after they took down the Twitter sign. I guess this one was popular with my former co-workers.
- A short post quoted in its entirety here:
Still wrapping my head around the new reality: My cousin quit his job with the federal government and went to work at a startup, thus increasing his job security.
That was before the 1½ month federal government October-November shutdown. My cousin figured out which way the wind was blowing a few months ahead of time. - I wrote Walkzee, yet another little phone web app to entertain you during walks. (Also, I blogged about it, and the blog post "did numbers," thus reminding me that happened just this year though it feels like forever ago.)
- I took photos around my neighborhood, including one useful for juvenile humor about LLMs: an advertisement for "AI Integrated PoS System."
- I walked around San Francisco on the new Roundabout Trail. (Also, I blogged about it, and the blog post "did numbers," thus reminding me that happened just a few months ago though it feels like forever. Wow, 2025 was a long year.)
