I've redesigned my artist website completely. Big changes. It's now all a bit...weird. So I'm happy with that.
All javascript has been removed and there are no more embedded videos or other media. I've also tried to make sure it's as accessible as possible; all images now have descriptions right back through a 15-year archive.
Comments welcome, especially if you notice something broken or some accessibility problems.

Shane Finan assembles technology into art, collaborating with fungi, plants, humans and animals.shanefinan.org
@jrp yes thanks. My site was always plain HTML but often included borrowed elements and used Javascript for visual quirkiness. Reducing bloat code was the main motivation, along with removing all trackers to make it more privacy/ethically sound. I never needed these but they were built into embedded videos or other borrowed tools; I decided on a big rebuild to go back into the archive of 15 years.
As my art is all about tech and environment, I figured it made sense to have my site reflect that.

Supernatural horror adventure ASYLUM finally hits Beta

โcountless professors, when asked to perform a peer review for a journal, fob the work off to their hapless grad studentsโ
Having been through the fact-checking process at the Times repeatedly, I canโt understand how nonsense like this gets through.
I can only speculate the perhaps these days their fact-checkers fob the work off to hapless interns.
To be fair to Seife, it *is* getting harder and harder to find sufficiently qualified scholars who are willing to review scholarly papers, and as this becomes more difficult the quality of peer review is probably declining.
I'm just tired of the Times misrepresenting the peer review process.

"That then, is the simple reason why discovering drugs is hard; because we are dealing with a biological system that still escapes our rational understanding and because we are trying to engineer a molecule that perturbs this incompletely understood system, and that too while being forced to satisfy multiple constraints. It's like being asked to find a black cat in the dark, with the added constraint that one of your feet is bound to the top of your head, and you only get three tries."

I was too young during its run to explicitly understand all the progressive themes, but given the way I am now, I have to wonder whether it had the desired effect on me. (If so, then Iโm grateful.) All I really understood at the time was that (a) it was a fun show, and (b) I had a crush on the witch.

How to never get a speeding fine again โ and maybe save a child's life
Most drivers admit to speeding and itโs causing an increasing number of deaths on our roads. Using intelligent speed assist technology can reverse this deadly trend.The Conversation

A lot of new vehicles have cameras to identify speed signs, and some have some annoying beeps if you exceed the current speed. I drove a Mercedes Sprinter this summer with that feature. It also had camera based lane departure warnings (that were really annoying at times). All the big new transport trucks have these features too.
Tesla had been using data in Google Maps (I think) that gives speed limits on most roads (at least in North America), though apparently their newer vehicles use the camera method (as well?). Tesla only display a warning unless you turn on "Joe Mode", in which case you get a not-so-annoying warning bell, and you can adjust it so the warning only happens after some number of units over the posted limit.
