I like to put my hands over the top of a cup of warm tea. I enjoy the warmth, and want to hold onto it for as long as possible. Whether I am holding a textbook or exploring blogs, if I have a cup of tea by my side I want to feel its warmth. As I write, I am sitting next to a warm cup of tea, resting on the arm of my chair. The vibration of movement as I type creates a gentle ripple on the water, a ripple that reminds me of the calm river where I spent time last weekend. It is amazing what there is to see in the ordinary.

Brainstorming web guides
I am interested in the field of content design, which thinks of information as not only what it represents (i.e. facts) but how that information is represented. The UK Government says:
Good content design allows people to find out what they need to know or do quickly.

Interface stability
The main Artemis interface has remained largely the same since I made the software available for others to use. Here is the interface in December 2024. Here is the interface in 2026 [^1] [^2]:

Gardening
At Front End Study Hall yesterday there was a discussion about what endeavours are similar to web development. There was a particularly rich discussion (documented in the afore-linked notes) related to gardening and web development. My takeaway from the discussion was that bu...
Single-file web applications
A few weeks ago I made Amie, an application for keeping track of who you meet at conferences. Amie lets you create an event, then add people by name and/or domain, Mastodon, or BlueSky handle. 1
I was inspired to build Amie because I went to a web meetup a few months ago whe...
31 years.
For the kids: That’s a dad joke referring to a line from a hip-hop track from 31 years ago.

On Saturday, I’ll be live on stage with Brutal Unrest again.
@chriscoyier @davatron5000 Thanks for the shout out on my favorite podcast! 🤗 The issue in my case was indeed an incredibly large number of crawler bots from different countries, all brute-force attacking my notes section with tags in the URL params. They also completely ignored nofollow and canonical. The majority were coming from Singapore, later Taiwan. So I still have no idea why my hosting provider decided to block Canada. 😆
The new YouTube video player allows playing videos in full screen mode when launched from a PWA on iPad. No more opening an extra FeedCity tab in the browser just to watch the videos I bookmarked to watch during lunch break.

I love the storytelling work that the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York does. For example, the Frame of Mind podcast highlights short stories of people’s relationships with museums – around fifteen minutes long each. It is a great listen.
Last year, I watched a video by...

🎬 PG: Psycho Goreman
Honestly, this was very entertaining. I was pretty tired, but this kept me awake, no problem. It's just so bizarre and funny. The daughter and her father are absolute comedy gold. And that policeman! The costumes are so good, too. I don't know, I had a great time and would most definitely watch it again.
👍 Recommended!
🎬 Edge of Honor
Plot is all over the place and there's quite a few scenes that make little sense. But yeah, for a trash-movie night, certainly not the worst flick. "Wait, how did they lift those enormous logs and … ?" "WHO CARES, ACTION, AHHHH…!". The finale is like Home Alone but in the woods and pretty entertaining.
