Annals of Machine Transcription:

“Through the acidification of the internet, blogs long ago stopped being usable.”

I think we all know what the speaker actually said.

German speakers: I believe there is a work that sounds a lot like eckkanter, meaning a corner bar, possibly only in Berlin. But online it seems to be a kind of woodworking machine.

What is the correct word, please. #German

Edit: Answer found. Eckkneipe. Thank you fediverse.

Little moments of joy

I was thinking about a design for a web page yesterday that I wanted to build with a few illustrations. I remembered that there was a site with old-timey illustrations that were available in the public domain. I thought I have no idea how to find this website! Today,, I was both surprised and delighted that the search query “old timey illustrations” allowed me to find the site, which I now know is called Old Book Illustrations. It is amazing that I can type in a query like “old timey illustrations” into a web search engine and find the page for which I am looking. The speed with which I found the website for which I was looking – and how a search engine found the page with my description "old timey" – brought a smile to my face. Addendum: It looks like not all illustrations are public domain according to the Terms of Use, but this doesn't detract from the story :)
