I'm a geek, techie, drummer, amateur photographer, and typography nerd. My pronouns are he/him. I live on Woiworung land in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia).

I'm not quite an internet old-timer, but I have been on social media since the mid-1990s (dial-up and Usenet!).

I work in the analytics, web, and social media space.

I talk about a lot of random things and try to post photos that I've taken reasonably regularly.

Since the original article I shared looks like it was published on an AI-powered content farm, here's a 2023 Reuters article on this solar plant: https://www.reuters.com/business/sustainable-business/switzerlands-solar-dam-sun-snow-perfect-mix-green-energy-drive-2023-02-06/ Or you can go to the source and check out the AlpinSolar website: https://www.axpo.com/ch/en/energy/generation-and-distribution/solar-power/alpinsolar.html

@samerion@mastodon.gamedev.place Agreed. The site that published this article looks like a content farm, and it's likely they use AI to write part or all of their articles. They're mimicking the style of content that was popular in the BuzzFeed days. The photo is either Photoshopped or AI generated. The Muttsee dam doesn't have a building halfway along the dam wall, plus the height and curvature of the wall shown here doesn't match. According to the Axpo website, the actual content of the article is accurate though.

This is really cool. Switzerland bolted 5,000 solar panels onto a dam wall 8,000 feet up in the freezing Alps where everyone said solar made no sense, and the plant now makes three times more winter power than any farm down in the valleys https://www.ecoportal.net/en/switzerland-5000-alpine-solar-muttsee-dam-winter-power/28487/ #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #switzerland

Hats off to author Kelly Link over on Bluesky for playing off the original William Carlos Williams poem of the same name.

Do I belong in tech anymore?

Today marks 19 years since I formally started my #blog. By "formally" I mean I stopped writing sporadic life updates on my static-HTML personal website and installed WordPress instead. #TimeFlies

Sticking with the nostalgia theme, here's a recent post of mine in which I reminisce about the days when more publishers used to mention the #typeface used in the book they were printing.

Typefaces on book copyright pages https://www.insanityworks.org/randomtangent/2026/4/19/typefaces-on-book-copyright-pages

Artistically arranged outdoor seating that almost looks like a still-life painting at 1 Hotel Melbourne on the banks of the Yarra River.
