Evening
Looking around in thought, I notice one of the trees outside is swaying from the wind. It has been a bit cooler in the latter half of the week — most welcome after the warm weather of late. There are a few raindrops on the window from when the rain was falling earlier, but ar...

Jo and I are doing a poetry exchange collaboration. We have each selected a poem for each other that we have never read, about which we will share our impressions. Below are my impressions from reading the poem Jo selected for me to read and write about You can read Jo’s entr...
It’s possible, maybe useful; but is it necessary?
When I started visiting art galleries, I would take pictures of the placards of pieces of work I liked. I would take pictures of the art, too; just enough so that I could map the placard to the painting. I wanted to document the art I really liked; to be able to go back and r...
Keyboards and mice
My wrists have been a bit tense lately so I have decided to try to use my desk more. I had grown comfortable sitting in my armchair using my computer but, if I am to be using my computer several hours per day, perhaps I need a more ergonomic setup.
This week I have changed t...
Notes from the world, part two
When I am out and about, I like to take notes when something makes me wonder, smile, or otherwise makes me think.
Here are a few notes I have taken over the last few weeks.
“How did you find out about us?”; “the internet,” I say. The clerk responds, playfully, “sometimes it...

Designing calm software with breaks in mind
I refer to Artemis as a “calm web reader”. I have designed the software to avoid common triggers that cause people to periodically check a piece of software. There are no notifications. All post titles are on one page; there are no folders. There is a “read” state, but this s...

Tomorrowland (IndieWeb Movie Club)
I have watched Tomorrowland several times. In the movie, it is revealed that a society of geniuses made another world: a place where they could go to invent and explore and wonder without distraction. But the other world – Tomorrowland – invented something they shouldn’t have...
Ice Floes
I saw Monet’s Ice Floes for the first time in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It stood out among all of the Impressionist paintings in the room, in large part because of its brightness but relative lack of colour. The painting depicts ice on the river Seine, one of Monet’s ma...
Ensembles
Last weekend I visited The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, an art collection that showcases mainly Impressionist and Medieval art, with some other genres too. The gallery was unlike any other I have visited. The outside of the building was modern: constructed with grey lim...

🎬 Nightcrawler
In the beginning I thought Jake Gyllenhaal’s character is pretty implausible. But then I just enjoyed his and Riz Ahmed’s performances, the pretty night scenes, the suspense and just his sheer dry ruthlessness. And the film also gives you plenty to think about.
