Communicating the indie web

As a technical writer, I ask myself a lot of questions as I prepare material. Who is the audience for the document I am writing? What can I reasonably assume they already know? Given that, what background do I need to include? What do I need to explain? What words can I use t...

Reading

I would like to read a book today! I said to myself with enthusiasm this morning. I used to read every Saturday morning, but as I started visiting more museums I stopped reading as much. I had the same feeling that I felt last week when I was inspired to write: I really want ...

Futures for the web

Xandra asked a terrific question on Mastodon: what does the indie web need the most right now? if that’s kinda hard to answer, to phrase it in another way: if you could snap your fingers and add one of these to the #indieweb, which do you think would have the biggest positiv...

Walking

I want to make the most of the sunshine, I thought to myself as I contemplated going on a second walk. I went for a walk earlier today to get groceries. All walks bring my mind space, but meandering on a favourite path feels more conducive to letting my mind wander. I venture...

Mashups

I have had the question “what is the blog equivalent of a mashup?” in the back of my head for a while. Joe’s most recent blog post, “Return to Mashups”, further has me thinking about this question. What does it mean for a blog post – or an entire blog – to be a mashup? My thi...

Brainstorming a tool to follow new album releases with Wikipedia

I feel a bit overwhelmed when looking at the home pages of music applications like Apple Music. There are so many visuals to look at, playlists to view – curated by theme, by artist, by mood – and recommendations of songs I have not yet heard. I have seen that Apple Music sho...

🎬 Natural Born Killers

Movie poster for “Natural Born Killers”.

Greatly enjoyed this one. The two are just so sweet. So, I loved Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis here. Tommy Lee Jones was great, too. Greatly reminded me of Wild At Heart. Story and proposition is great two. Reminded me partly of Nightcrawler. And it is just overall funny and weird with wild camera work, which reminded me of Climax. But I would’ve enjoyed one more action scene like the one at the diner at the beginning.

🎬 L.A. Confidential

Movie poster for “L.A. Confidential”.

I liked this overall. It’s a wild chase with ever more intrigues and entanglements coming to light. I especially liked Guy Pearce’s character and performance. But I couldn’t fully enjoy this on a first watch, as this was so fast paced and has this rather complex plot (watching in to me non-native English didn’t quite help, either), that I had the constant feeling of having missed something. Luckily they actually explain more and more towards the end, and I could more and more shake that feeling. Still, maybe a candidate for a second watch.

Summer rain

I woke up to the sound of the summer rains; of water falling on the gutters, of the collective sound of raindrops falling on the leaves of trees. Listening closely, the phrase that comes to mind to describe the sound is “white noise,” except this does not capture the essence ...

Museum of the World Wide Web

The Victoria and Albert Museum published a YouTube video highlighting an art project inspired by the question “What would your dream museum look like?” The video — featuring ideas ranging from a museum of soil to a museum of kitchen tables — is well worth a watch. This got m...

Evening walks

When did I feel the change from the countryside to the town? This question came to mind while I was walking earlier this evening. While walking, I noticed that there was a point at which I felt I was coming back from the countryside into town, but I didn’t know when that mome...

Whiteboards and affirmations

I want to write something! This thought has come to mind a lot lately. I have the energy to go and start writing. But before I do, I ask myself: what do I want to write? Inspiration is hard to find, although I recently realised that the voice saying that I want to write somet...

Walking

Should I go for a walk? There is always that moment of hesitation. I could stay in, do chores, watch television, and relax. Or I could go outside and walk, maybe even explore. I put on my shoes and headed out without a particular path in mind. I think I was a bit excited to g...

The way I think about a song

Zachary and I are exchanging blog post titles with each other (inspired by kami). I chose the title “What making this by hand means to me” for Zachary; he chose the topic “The way I think about a song” for me. Thank you Zachary for the excellent topic choice. Is there a lyri...

How do you write HTML?

At Homebrew Website Club yesterday evening, I had an idea: what if there was a piano that, when you pressed a key, it typed a HTML opening tag? While this may be somewhat impractical for authoring HTML documents, on reflection I think this idea gets at a deeper interest: how we author HTML documents. This made me think: how do people write HTML? What tools are used? Tantek demo’ed the text expansion feature in macOS that lets you type letters and expand them into larger sequences. This could be used, for example, to turn

Text representations of posts in Artemis

One feature I am working on is being able to follow Mastodon feeds via ActivityPub in Artemis 1. I am working on this because there are a few low-volume accounts whose content I would like to see in my reader. In doing so, I have been asking myself the question: how do I wan...

Integrating a Rust library into Gecko

Integrating a Rust library to Gecko / Firefox is unexpectedly easy, but Rust adoption varies significantly between teams. I started in the Firefox networking Team Necko, which has a few Rust components like the HTTP/3 stack neqo or the URL implementation. After switching to ...
