Just a small detail, but a wonder to behold in the Treasures of the Pharoahs exhibition at the Scuderie.

Grateful for the indie web
We just finished our last Homebrew Website Club Europe event of the year. We spent the time chatting about the last year on our websites – what we made, what we are proud of, what we learned – and looked ahead to what we may be interested in doing next year. One question came...
2025 in review
The best way to introduce this post might be to reflect on my post from January, where I begrudingly declared some new years resolutions, and see how good I was at keeping them:

Visible mending, because of course I am virtue signaling. Colours are not nearly as harsh IRL.
The latest newsletter from @Documentally prompted me to climb up on one of my many hobby horses.

Coffee shop
I read The Frugal Gamer’s post “If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?” with great joy. Like The Frugal Gamer, I too am bundled up inside bracing the weather. I was hoping to go for a walk but the rain and wind has convinced me to stay inside and instead hu...
The nicest thing a stranger has done for me
Lou wrote a blog post asking the question “What is the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for you?” I read his blog post and then spent some time thinking about how I would answer. One moment comes to mind.
When I was in my late teens, I had gone on a journey to the city ...

🎬 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Believe it or not, I have not seen this previously. It's relentless. It's uncomfortable. It's horrifying. That was quite the trip, seeing it at the cinema.
🎬 Bad Taste
Well, this was just the right desert after TCM that evening. Bad Taste was one of my earliest splatter/underground movies I've seen. It was great seeing this again after all these years. Splendid splattertainment!
🎬 Berberian Sound Studio
…or The Italian Vegetable Massacre.
Toby Jones - which I really didn't know before - is absolutely fantastic. He truly transports how one might feel in such a menacing environment. And the film leaves no doubt it criticises these types of people, and hence the production of ...
A Christmassy Bike Ride
Cracking ride yesterday with RuotaLibera, the Rome chapter of FIAB that I belong to. It was billed as a Christmassy ride around the parks of the south of Rome, and it was a blast. The guides had mapped out a great route that had a few exciting moments — roundabouts where you...
Brainstorming visual search for the web
When I am chatting about a website with friends, sometimes I forget the name of the website. I remember what the site is about, and often remember visual details about the site, too. A few months ago, I described a website that aggregated blogs and also mentioned it had a yel...
Walking
The sun sets early at this time of year. Now that I think about it, the shortest day of the year is coming soon, after which point, each following day will be longer. Anyway, I went for a walk before the sun set. If I don’t go out now, I’ll have to wait until tomorrow. That m...

A Lady in Grey
I love thinking about the use of colour in painting. Impressionist paintings never cease to make me smile; their colour illuminates me as it does the places they depict (oh! how wonderful art can be!). I also love paintings that use grey and white, both sparingly and as part ...
