18th Annual Hamilton Street Festival
Words cannot describe how absolutely excited I am for this festival. I have never heard of it, and I have never even been to the neighborhood, but while checking out my favorite DJ’s website the other day, Charles Feelgood, I noticed that he was going to be in town and performing at this festival.

After doing a little bit more research about it, not only am I excited to see DJ Charles Feelgood, I am excited for the whole entire day. There is going to be a lot of stuff going on, arts, crafts, food, beer, live music, and even a classic car show.
Pictures from last years event looked awesome, and this year should be even better. So mark your calendars for July 30th, see you there!

Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to wildly overthinking things
Friday's big release was Qwen 3.8 27B, an Apache 2 licensed 27B parameter vision-capable LLM from Alibaba's Qwen research lab. I've been looking forward to this one: 27B is an excellent size for running a model on a reasonably specced laptop, and its prede...

Birding photos from Dutch Gap on Aug 15, 2026 My best bird photo from this morning is a dragonfly (Eastern Pondhawk, I think). Least Sandpiper Green Heron Red-headed Woodpecker. It's a juvenile, so its head is not actually red yet.
