May the Focus Be With You!
Last weekend at IndieWebCamp I noticed
James
had setup his iPhone in grayscale.
I think I first saw that on

Back in 2023 I challenged myself to use my phone in greyscale mode for a week. The experiment was successful: a week later, I was still using my phone in greyscale mode. At some point afterwards, I did disable greyscale mode. But last year, or early this year (I can't remembe...
Quotes from Tufte’s course

New episode: Mysterious Collards in Morocco
Collard greens are strongly associated with Black foodways in the US South, though they are also eaten in parts of Europe and in East Africa.

Seasons
My first thought was the field of pink petals. Day by day, petals fall from the tree as green leaves grow from the blossom. I wonder for how long the petals will keep falling. There seem to be a million dots of pink in spring, from which there is a new perspective to see ever...
