About

And the Rest of It is a blog of miscellanies by me, David Mikucki. I aspire to be what Chesterton might have called an interested person. I like to learn about all sorts of different stuff. This blog is where I can write things down about those things about which I’m learning.

You might be wondering about the name of the blog. It comes from when you have a list of big important things you want to make sure you mention, and then a bunch of miscellaneous things that aren’t worth mentioning individually. So you say something like “etcetera,” or “and so on,” or “and the rest of it.” This blog is about the rest of the stuff on the universal list of things—the ones that aren’t quite as important. Here, I write about technology, AI, photography, design, etcetera.

It’s a junk drawer, but I’ve always found that every junk drawer has at least one object that catches my interest—not that I go around inspecting other people’s junk drawers with integrity or regularity.

Anyway, I hope that you have a similar experience to that of sifting through a junk drawer—finding little things here and there that will likely be, at the very least, useful at some point.

As for the creator, in no particular order: I’m a Reformed Presbyterian Christian, a member of the RPCNA, a designer, web developer, app-maker, photographer, podcaster, husband, mild AI enthusiast, and beard-haver. I’ve never been fishing, and I have an adversarial relationship with soup. If you want to learn more about me, I suggest reading my blog posts or my Facebook or X account, since the best way to get to know someone is obviously to read his thoughts on literally anything that happens to pop into his head.
