This weeks events to be covered

| life | dc |

So those of you who have been reading for a long time (all two of you!) know that before I went to Virginia to become a Dialysis Tech I talked about covering local events in the DC area. Going to them, taking lots of pictures, and then blogging about them and sharing them with you! Well - unfortunately that never happened. Now, I am off school until June 1 (And even then they are going to be online classes) So I really want to actually go ahead and get that done.

This week is busy with tons of fun filled events.

First,

Teusday Night at 7:30 P.M. I am going to go to the free reading of the new play “Benched” by Allyson Curin. It is going to be at the Charter Theatre in NW DC. It is part of their first draft series in which there is a free reading and discussion. This will be the first time that I attend one of these events so I am looking forward to it.

[LATE ADDITION: Thursday Night @ 730 PM Washington Stage Guild - the Performance of Best Friends.]

Next, on Saturday I am going to start the day by visting the Hirshorn Museum and checking out their new Yves Klein Exhibit that is going to be running through Sept. 12.

Then we are going to top off the day with some delicious Asian food at the Fiesta Asian Street Fair in NW Dc as well.

Then sunday we are going to be doing some volunteer work, with me and people that I work with in the highly anticipated National Kidney Foundation of Maryland Kidney walk taking place at the Baltimore Zoo in Baltimore, MD.

Lastly, Sunday After the Kidney walk I am going to try to catch the Handmade Mart taking place in Silver Spring, and hopefully will be able to pick up some cool hand made goods for my apartment. That will round off the weekend and get us ready for next week.

Those of you who live in the DMV please feel free to join, and those who do not! Have no fear, I am bringing all of the fun filled events in the DC, MD, VA area to you. :)

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

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...

“I think there’s a lot of value in these.”

Speaking of user interface guidelines, developer Matt Sephton and others compiled many of Apple’s human interface guidelines, starting from 1980, all the way to 2014, including some goodies like early drafts, NeXT, Newton, and so on. Elsewhere, designer Ge...

Birding photos from Dutch Gap on Aug 15, 2026

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.
