I speak with Thomas Labarussias of @sysdig about Falco, a cloud-native security tool designed for Linux systems. Falco uses custom rules on kernel events, enriched with container and Kubernetes metadata, to provide real-time alerts and help you gain visibility into abnormal behavior, potential security threats, and compliance violations, contributing to comprehensive runtime security.

AsciiDoc is a popular markup language amongst technical writers, but tooling options are limited compared to markdown. adoc studio aims to fill that gap, and in this video, I take a look at how it compares to using AsciiDoc plugins in VSCode or an IntelliJ-based IDE.
WordCounter is a $20 macOS application that shows you how many words you write and where. Does it help make you more productive or is more of an interesting insight? I take a look!

I came across this World War 2 trench on the outskirts of Berlin, and I've never had such an eerie, disconcerting experience.
In this video sponsored by PixieBrix, I look at their low-code tool for adding automation and integrations to existing web pages. It takes a different approach to many others out there, and I was intrigued! I look at how to use its inbuilt connections to APIs and how to send and receive data from external ones. I also look at text manipulation and AI features.
Another item taken from the MIT museum exhibition, I love the look of struggle here.
I look at Actions for Obsidian, a standalone application that brings Apple Shortcuts to Obsidian, allowing some connection and automation from the rest of macOS and other applications on your Mac. I look at creating notes by selecting text elsewhere, creating a daily schedule, triggering Obsidian commands and using an Elgato Stream Deck and Raycast with Obsidian.
I already miss autumn/fall. Now it's dark and cold in the northern hemisphere. This was a lovely, almost perfect fall video taken in Harvard Yard. #autumn #fall #harvard #massachusetts
In this video sponsored by PixieBrix, I look at their low-code tool for adding automation and integrations to existing web pages. It takes a different approach to many others out there, and I was intrigued!

If you've seen any American films or TV shows, you know these yellow buses. Imagine my delight when I witnessed this little procession of them!
JetBrains Writerside, the IntelliJ-based tool for those creating and maintaining documentation is now in early access and available as a separate IDE. In this video I take a look at new features and improvements including support for API specs, Mermaid, Tex, new markup, and more!
I rearranged my video and audio-making desk recently and wanted to find a way to fit everything without having my space littered with stands. So, I took off the cap on the central pole in my VESA monitor stands and found a great space to fit other straight stands. Double the capacity, same space occupied. Hopefully, it works for you!
In this episode, we look at tools and services to enhance your tabletop and roleplaying game playing and creation. They're mostly ChatGPT, but it's still an interesting experiment to see what kind of fantastical ideas the machines can develop. tldr; They are surprisingly creative! There's a lot of typing in this episode, and we did our best to reduce the clacking of my awesome keyboard…
my feeble attempts to get the cat to stop using my screen as a scratching post
Runme combines your docs with everything great about scripting and pipelines. I take a second look at using this tool with the CLI, VSCode, headless, and in the cloud. There are still a few quirks and issues, but for teams who want to share workflows and runbooks along with their output with each other, is runme what you're looking for?

One of the first trains to hit 100mph, we were passing through Scotland and inadvertently came across this special journey. Original speed and no sound added for the authentic experience!
In this video, I cover how I use Newzik and Dorico to digitize drum scores stored as PDFs into MusicXML and MIDI. This means I now have a consistent library of digital scores I can take into DAWs like Ableton and Cubase, annotate notes for practice sessions, and create drum patterns from scratch.
