What I have been reading lately
For a while I have wanted to make a bookshelf page on my website but such a page comes with the feeling that I should keep it up to date, a continuing obligation. I don’t want to keep a list of all the books I have read on my website right now, but I do want to share a few ti...

Put new tyres and tubes on the bike so took it out into the park where there happened to be a Rabbit to bag. Bike rode smoothly and managed to get on top of the Quest, at least according to the phone.

New tyres and tubes on both wheels;
Schwalbe Marathon Plus. Installed easily enough with a Tyre Glider and plenty of clearance. I was about to take off on a test ride but the brakes aren’t very well adjusted, so I had to come upstairs and ask Calvin at Park Tools to take me through that as a refresher. Now I guess I'll wait until after lunch.

No idea what this is. Maybe some kind of gall, but it had the look and feel of hard shiny plastic.

The Non-Designer's Design Book
Revisiting a 90's classic for the IndieWeb book club
A new home page
I have been thinking about redesigning my website for a while. I wrote a bit about one of the design directions I explored recently. I loved doing the design part of the project, but knew there would be several hours of work to integrate the new style into my website.

My take on this is oooh my God who cares. I wish this was a real problem but it's really not. I'd take 100 fakers gladly if it meant every disabled person actually got the support they deserve.
