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
Jeremy’s
phone years ago.
I remember trying it on my iPod Touch for a while, eventually switching back to see color photos.
This morning while chatting with Jam...
… and speaking of free compressors: Analog Obsession just released a Fairchild.

Night shift
Writing my post on how I use my phone in grayscale yesterday got me thinking about other customisations I make to the computing devices I use. The first one that came to mind is that I keep my laptop, and by extension my external display when I am using it, in night shift mod...

Using greyscale
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
I took Edward Tufte’s online course on analysing and presenting data. It lasted four hours and was a mixture of reading from his books and listening to lecture material. The course was terrific and I learned so much. As I was taking the course, I took down a few quotes that s...

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...
#CSS song of the day:
Flexorcist by The Voidz
Day; night
The day holds onto the light for as long as it can. The warm glow of the horizon reminds me of all of the bright adventures of the day, and makes me wonder “what will I do tomorrow?”. I can see the first star, which means that night will soon be here; the time for rest, processing, and preparing to imagine tomorrow. (Written a few days ago, and published on a rainy evening where the memories of the sunset on a clear evening warm my heart.)
My words, not my content
Every so often I think about the word “content.” It’s not my favourite word. Content feels relatively flat compared to the things to which it can refer.
I have been meaning to write about my preference for something else for a while: I prefer to say “my words” or “my stories...
Walking
I don’t think I will need my jacket. The weather is warm enough that I can go outside without one. It always feels both special and jarring on the first days of the year when the world is so warm that you can go out without a jacket – the anticipation for the warmth clashes w...
