Memories of Sacramento
This will be my final post about the California State capitol. You can see everything that I have written about Sacramento here. This was the first city I visited in my capitals project, and the first one that I have finally completed writing about (a whopping 5 months later). I enjoyed my journey to the city and the corresponding reading about the the history that I did in the weeks that followed.
There some photos I took that didn’t make sense to have a blog post of their own so I will share them here.
Sacramento is a wonderful city. I will miss thinking and writing about my time there. Through everything that I have learned the one theme that remains common is that Sacramento is a city that is constantly reinventing itself. I look forward to visiting again many years from now to see how it has changed.

“This way, the interface does not get in the way.”
Ilya Birman on his blog talks about interfaces that unnecessarily slow people down, in a series of two posts. In the first one, titled “Let me click,” Birman shows a few places that force the user to go through a roundabout series of clicks, instead of tak...
via Unsung August 24, 2026Anger, Anxiety and Agency
Sean Goedecke wrote a post arguing that you should never be angry at work — a post with which I strongly agree. Anger can be a useful signal, but being angry at work rarely improves the situation. More often, it makes life worse for the people around you,...
