Inspired Again by Julia Evans
In August 2019 I discovered Tailwind, the CSS framework that makes responsive design relatively easy, thanks to an enthusiastic post by Julia Evans. I immediately adopted it to redesign this site. Over time, however, I found it harder and harder to maintain the styling of th...

When I start writing, sometimes I go to the search engine on my website to see if I have written about a topic before. I did this when I was writing background; foreground. I had been thinking about the contrast between backgrounds and foregrounds for a while, so I wondered i...
Background; foreground
In a way, I carry my website with me wherever I go. Technically, my website is a few keystrokes away on my phone, but I think the presence of my website extends beyond the technical. Having a website encourages me to write, I think, because I know I have a place to put and sh...

In March 2021 I got my last keyboard. Since I don’t like the idea of dongles, I tend to get Apple’s original keyboard. I also quite like how it feels and get along with it quite well. Recently my left control key started to act strange, plus a few of my keys are heavily used...

Wonders of Web Weaving, Episode 2
The second episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out: In Episode 2, I chat with Alexandra, the author of xandra.cc, a founder and barista at the 32-Bit Cafe. We talk about, among other things, building indie web communities, communicating the possibilities of having a personal website to new audiences, and more. I hope you enjoy the episode! Wonders of Web Weaving has an RSS feed you can use to follow along from wherever you get your podcasts.
