Wonders of Web Weaving, Episode 14

The fourteenth episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out:
In Episode 14, I chat with Robb, the author of rknight.me about, among other things, metaphors for websites, the importance of sharing things you like on the web, running an indie service (Echo Feed), and more.
I hope you enjoy the episode!

🎬 Father Mother Sister Brother

Movie poster for “Father Mother Sister Brother”.

A lovely film about the relationships between parents and their kids, and some of the different ways this can go. It’s really not happening much. But I don’t know; Jarmusch always entertains me. And having three movies in one is fantastic: you can just spot all those little details and similarities among them without “having” to watch another one of his films. So, mix all the Jarmusch ingredients, multiply by three, serve them on a single plate, and Bob’s your uncle!

👍 Recommended!

🎬 Basic Instinct

I sure have watched this back in the day. But I couldn’t remember much. And I certainly did not see the uncut version. Anyhow, this was suspenseful and sexy and psycho with a great story. Reminded me quite a bit of Hitchcock. And it has just the right amount humour. Loved all the car chases. And Sharon Stone’s character and acting is just perfect.

👍 Recommended!

🎬 Mission: Impossible

Movie poster for “Mission: Impossible”.

So, I finally got to see that famous vault scene where Tom Cruise hovers over the ground. And that scene was indeed very cool. But overall, I found this to be a little boring. Maybe because I found the premise to be quite low-stakes, especially in relation to how many people of their internal force are sacrificed. And the end action sequence is ridiculous.

Confident reflections of my reserved self.
Colourful, frozen,
fragmentary, ephemeral frames,
I carry everywhere.
Heavy as self.

Poems as wayfinding

When I look at a painting, or read a poem, or a story, I feel like I am entering a new world, one created by the artist, the writer, to evoke a particular feeling, to highlight something meaningful, to document a moment, and for many other reasons too. I love the feeling of...

Morning, sunrise

The horizon is painted with a cool, warm glow. The sun has not yet risen; the hills are its blanket. The sky is a clear blue. I woke up earlier than normal this morning. I find myself writing while gazing out the window, watching the sun rise, its light filling the room, il...

In the course of thinking about macro-photography I discovered a useful possible alternative, at least for now.

Not Quite Macro

As my interest in the micro-wildlife on our terrace has grown I have found myself wanting to know more exactly what I am looking at. I don’t have any way to catch things, but I do have a macro lens on my camera. Problem is, the focal length is quite short, which means that i...
