The Chainsaw Retrofit
The Passivhaus approach can be implemented when retrofitting existing buildings as well as when building new ones. Heating energy use in an existing building can be reduced to 10% of what it was prior to renovation. There are (of course) a number of challenges. In western Washington, achieving Passivhaus in an existing building will require: Adding additional insulation in walls, roofs and floors. Replacing windows. Improving air tightness. Installing a balanced heat recovery ventilation system.
Sophos Targets Compliance and Risk With Arco Cyber Purchase
7 minutes ago bankinfosecurity UK Rollout to Link Arco's Cybersecurity Assurance With Sophos's Threat Intelligence Michael Novinson (MichaelNovinson) • February 11, 2026 Sophos purchased a British cybersecurity assurance startup led by a longtime Softcat executive to more effectively align risk with business and regulatory expectations.
From Security Operations to Security Leadership: Sophos CISO Advantage
For years, cybersecurity progress has been measured by innovation. Faster detection. Better response. Smarter automation. And yet, real-world outcomes have failed to match the pace of technological advancement. This gap between technological progress and outcomes has driven a predictable response: spend more. Global security and risk management spend has hit record highs, surpassing $200B annually and is on track to hit $240B in 2026 (Gartner). In some ways, this has compounded the problem.
Every Town by The Paper Kites
“Every Town”, the new single by The Paper Kites Available on Nettwerk Music review by Rob Harrison The Paper Kites have released a new single “Every Town” as a taster for the forthcoming album “If You Go There, I Hope You Find It” out on January 23rd 2026 . The Single is a bitter sweet excursion in unreconciled love. A wistful affair indeed. The country tinged wistfulness presents itself in many ways. One is in the slide guitar, and the slow and easy rock beats.
Passivhaus vs Bullitt Center
If the Bullitt Center Living Building had been designed to meet Passive House, it would have needed only two-thirds of the on-site-generated energy of the current design to reach net-zero—in other words, a much smaller photovoltaic array. Denis Hayes has long been a hero of mine. In ninth grade I participated in the first Earth Day, and that day in some ways catalyzed the direction I took with my life.
Intersection Trees
Urbanists love trees. Let’s just get that out of the way at the outset. We love them for the same reasons everyone else does: the shade that cools us and the patterns leaf shadows make; their beauty, their bark and gnarled roots; the way they mark the seasons and on a longer scale the passage of time in our lives as they grow; their carbon sequestration; the way they sound as wind moves them; their fruit; the beautiful objects their wood makes.
The Greenest Building: Retrofit or Passive House?
Yesterday, preservation rock-stars Preservation Green Lab released the results of a study on the energy impacts of retrofitting existing buildings versus building new ones. Their unsurprising–for an arm of the National Trust for Historic Preservation–conclusion: Retrofits are almost always greener than new buildings. Building Green picked up the story, as did Grist. But…are the assumptions of the study biasing it toward that conclusion?
How Long Will It Take to Build Your New House?
A prospective client recently asked how long it would take to get a new house built. It’s a good question, and often asked, so I thought I’d turn my answer into a blog post. Short answer? Typically, going from first finding and closing on a suitable lot to moving in to the completed, newly built custom house on that lot takes a little over two years.
Brussels' Exemplary Buildings Program
Yesterday’s Passive House Northwest Annual Conference was fantastic, led off by a rousing keynote on Seattle’s greenest building to date, the Bullitt Center, by Denis Hayes.
How Seattle Thwarts Innovative Building
Seattle prides itself on its forward green thinking. However, it lags terribly behind on forward green doing. Why is that? There may be other factors endemic to the banking system in the US and the financing of projects, but here are two specifically-Seattle issues: The City’s most valuable incentive to developers of deep green buildings, the additional height bonus, is at odds with the wishes of many immediate neighbors of these buildings.
MHA = Mandatory Green Building
Over the last almost four years Seattle has been engaged in a deep dive into housing affordability, starting with former-Mayor Ed Murray’s appointment of twenty-eight volunteers to the Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda (HALA) Committee in September 2014, charging them to come up with an integrated approach to addressing Seattle’s housing affordability crisis. After the release of the visionary HALA Report I was one of 110 citizens chosen to participate in the HALA Focus Groups.
The Co-op Bank, the Coventry and the Customer Union
A group of concerned customers set up the Save Our Bank campaign in 2013 to try to keep the Co-operative Bank true to its co-operative principles and retain its ethical polices. In 2025 its acquisition by the Coventry Building Society will hopefully bring this dream into reality. In the 1990s, The Co-operative Bank had found financial success and a high profile by positioning itself as an ethical alternative to the UK’s big four high street banks.
The Screaming Target Archive number 1 – The Birthday Party | Nerve Magazine
The Birthday Party 27th March 1982 Liverpool / The Warehouse This is an occasional series that highlights Liverpool’s cultural life in the past. A kind of revision of history, or at least one that’s not being handed down. As of late, Liverpool’s Musical history has been a deep resource to reshape the past for certain members of the rose coloured glasses brigade. In this instance I could be accused of the same with this review.

Those Roads | Nerve Magazine
Those Roads By Úna Quinn and Neil Campbell Available via Bandcamp Music review by Rob Harrison Those Roads is a song commissioned by the Irish Festival in 2023. The song marks the 175th anniversary of the great potato famine and tells the tale of the movement of the Irish people to England. This movement would continue through the country and eventually take many Irish refugees onward to the United States.
Siapiau – Pi – 161CD (2023) | Nerve Magazine
Siapiau – Pi – 161CD (2023) Discus Music Sheffield UK Now available Album review by Rob Harrison Siapiau, is Welsh for “shapes” as the four members of the band attempt to create shapes in the air out of apparently nothing. And so weave their improvisational spell so to speak. The band came together in September 2021, at a gathering for improvisation musicians in South Wales. Hence the Welsh name.

To add suitable atmosphere to the proceedings some gothic attire sits on the stage.
Consider The Hand Axe — LessWrong
A long time ago, some primitive apes got addicted to rocks. The earliest stone tools were crude bastards, made by smashing large river pebbles together and calling it a day. José-Manuel Benito Álvarez Stone choppers like the one above took the prehistoric neighborhood by storm almost 3 million years ago. However dull the tools themselves may have been, this was the cutting-edge technology for literally more than a million years, a timescale I have no capacity of comprehending.
The Hit List – March 2023 | Nerve Magazine
Welcome back to The Screaming Target, the home of new releases. And the hits just keep coming as we head into the new year. This time we have British Afro rockers Cymande with their stunning self titled album which came out in 1972 but it still sounds amazing today. Next we have Mary Elizabeth Remington. Recorded in a cabin in New Mexico on a four track recorder this is a stunning example of the back to the basics style of artists that have come to be associated with what’s known as Neu folk.

Please Voice Your Opposition to SB 1117
This legislation would not apply in areas that have CC&Rs. According to the League of Arizona City and Town’s Frank Cassidy, “This is basically a nuclear option to allow a whole bunch of housing but not saying it has to be affordable housing. It is just a ‘trickle down’ argument for that.” Municipalities of less than 25,000 are exempt from the Residential Zoning Districts and the Residential Housing Design Standards sections of SB 1117, but the remaining sections of the bill apply statewide.
