Having been the victim of a lot of financial shenanigans this year, I can really relate to how protective leprechauns get of their gold.

I'm always shocked to re-learn that Chex Quest had a budget of a half a million dollars, but then I remember that it had EPIC CUTSCENES:

Writing on bullets is the worst new crafting trend

It’s too bad, I loved the game and hoped they’d nail the DLC as a satisfying follow-up, but it just feels like a grab bag of cut/unfinished content.

I can’t tell if this new iOS update has a worse keyboard or if I’ve had a stroke and can’t type anymore

Fill Harmonics: Parker Higgins made a crossword puzzle-inspired drum machine for 10k Drum Machines https://parkerhiggins.net/2025...

Fill Harmonics, the crossword puzzle music machine

Today I’m releasing Fill Harmonics, a music machine that takes its rules and styling from the world of crossword puzzles. The name is a pun: in crossword lingo, “fill” is the stuff that goes into the grid. This project is a collaboration with Natan Last, one of my cruciverbal inspirations and the author of “Across The Universe,” a very fun upcoming book on the history and culture of crosswords (available for pre-order now!).

I keep having the urge to blog again but the thought of maintaining yet another webpage/social media account on top of everything else required to be an online indie musician these days seems like a major hassle. Maybe I could do a .plan file.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Wow, Bandcamp added a feature to disable merch sales to the US. That's crazy.

Oh I didn’t mean it was crazy of bandcamp to do it. Crazy that they needed to.

You may have seen this story blowing up about Will Smith using AI to generate fake audiences to promote his latest tour, but the truth is more complicated. The audiences are real, but the footage was manipulated: first by Will Smith's team and then, without permission, by YouTube itself.
