For some reason, there’s a new “suddenly trip and fall down” mechanic in Animal Crossing New Leaf tonight.

Autumn
With every passing night, I find myself thinking how the sun now sets a little bit earlier each day. Whereas the sun sets late in the peak of summer – at around ten o' clock at night – the autumn sun falls earlier. I notice change in the air as we move from summer to autumn. ...

Local Hero (IndieWeb Movie Club)
When I watch Local Hero, I am reminded of how much I love home. Indeed, the movie is a story of someone falling in love with Scotland. The beaches may be cold, but they are beautiful. The skies may be dull, but you can sometimes see the Northern Lights. The phone service in t...

Web remixing
In "Mashups", I explored the question "what is the blog equivalent of a mashup?" The post itself was a mashup of several other posts chosen to complement the ideas I was thinking about. (What better way to figure something out than to try it?) The topic of mashup pertains to ...

Designing a mobile-first HTML editor
Writing HTML on a phone is difficult. To write HTML – like all programming languages – you need to use a lot of symbols. The main symbols that you need for HTML are the open and closing angle brackets (< and >, respectively).
On iOS, these are in the tertiary keyboard....
Developing an alt text button for images on my website
Mastodon shows an "Alt" button in the bottom right of images that have associated alt text. This button, when clicked, shows the alt text the author has written for the image. Here is an example of a post with an attached image that has alt text:

The first star
Under the blanket of the late evening, having been in awe at the beauty of the sunset, I looked to the sky and saw a star – a single star. There are other stars out there, but they are not yet visible. My eyes fixate on the first star, feeling awe at the sparkle in the night ...
Golden
Look at the hills! I remark every week at a particular point on a journey through the countryside. They span for miles, I think to myself. The scene is awesome, in the traditional sense of the word. On a bright, clear night like tonight there is often a slight haze above the ...
Between
On the bus this morning, I listened to an album by Death Cab for Cutie, a band whose music I enjoy. As the songs passed by, I noticed there were occasionally small pauses at the end of a track. A few seconds – no more than four or five – but enough to feel that this pause may...

An incremental migration
I recently moved to using Ghost to manage the posts and pages on my website. With Ghost, I now have a user-friendly web interface in which I can format my blog posts and pages. I am especially enjoying the ease with which I can upload images. When I publish a page, a webhook ...
Morning web weaving
This morning I have been doing a bit of work on my website. With a cup of coffee by my side, I have worked on something that I have had on my TODO list all week but haven’t gotten around to: enabling incremental builds for my static website. This feature means that whenever I...
