Blogging in the Age of AI

In the early days of the web, a blog was a digital diary. By the 2010s, it had evolved into a structured marketing asset. But as we move through 2026, the traditional “manual” blog is becoming an endangered species.

Bear Creek Falls Near the City of Ouray

Bear Creek Falls and the Million Dollar Highway over it near Ouray, Colorado.

The creek runs under the famous road: the Million Dollar Highway. Big jump with a turquoise splash. Impressive spot of the Uncompahgre National Forest in the San Juan Mountains. Across the valley, the 450-foot-tall Ralston Creek Falls sliding over the rocks. Amazing nature.

Deathbed Fallacy & Happiness

From the mind of a computer engineer.

Don’t bother with the Deathbed Fallacy. Look at happiness research, which tells you a stable income, focus on relationships and experiences rather than stuff, practicing acceptance, and small things like short commute times make you happier.

Joseph Conrad on Revolutions

All revolutions always have been, always must be, nothing more in the end than palace intrigues: intrigues either for power within, or for the occupancy of a palace.

Simplistic generalisation or historic truth?

On Motivated Reasoning

We start from “What should be true?” and reason backwards. “What is true” becomes unimportant. A nuisance of reality. Blindness.

A tale of Ouray: “The Switzerland of America”

The charming town of Ouray of Colorado seen from a higher point in the canyon.
Charming and colorful touristic town of Colorado in the fall. 

Picturesque spot. The American Alps. It brough back memories of my time in Switzerland (Ouray is called “the Switzerland of America”). This place was named in the 1800s after a Ute Indian Chief (“Ouray” means “arrow”). The Native American name for this area was “Uncompahgre”, which means “hot water springs”. Silver and gold prospectors came in 1875. Now is all about tourism.

Progress and the Inevitable

Nothing is truly inevitable, certainly not progress. And progress, too, might stop tomorrow.
