Bringing people together with the web

At Homebrew Website Club this evening we had a conversation about how to encourage people to make things together using the web. This could mean writing a blog post with someone, responding to someone’s blog post to continue a conversation, contributing to a wiki, creating a ...

Three areas of insights for improving focus, from this afternoon’s long run: needs, defense, techniques.1. Make sure your "needs" are met. If your needs are not being met, you will be distracted from whatever you are trying to focus on by those unmet needs.2. Defend against a...

Sometimes it’s good take a step back and re-assess things from the immediate like daily routines & habits, to how to focus on goals whether within weeks, months, or years. Taking bits of time off to reflect on these and related topics. The grayscale phone interface has helped me get here: https://tantek.com/2026/124/b1/may-the-focus-be-with-you-iphone-grayscale

Morning coffee

The familiar sounds of the espresso machine never cease to calm me – the joy of the familiar, but also the potential of the variable: of sounds at new tones, of different cadences. Watching as the barista makes sure to stop pulling the espresso shot at 33 seconds — precision at every step. Classical music, quiet conversation, and the awakening of the day permeate the cafe, illuminated by the light passing through the tall windows, and accompanied by the smell of freshly brewed coffee. I hear one of the baristas make their colleague laugh, bringing a smile to my face.

Aether-draft

Today I attended my first Magic the Gathering (MtG) draft: a “secret draft,” where players did not know ahead of time what series of the trading card game would be played. The event was held in a breathtaking church building, now used as a community centre. The building is al...

„Die öffentliche Demütigung gab es schon mal. Von 1933 bis 1945 wurden etwa Sinti und Roma oder Juden auch gezwungen, vor der Haustür zu kehren und dann wurden sie deportiert. Die Botschaft lautet: Ihr seid nirgendwo sicher.“

Schon klar, wählt die ruhig weiter.

Clouds

“No way,” I exclaim with wonder and glee and surprise. I look up and stare for a few moments, transfixed by the delicate wisps of cloud that rest side by side. The wisps move in tandem, as if woven together by an invisible bond. A pink hue is cast onto the periphery of a nea...

Moments; time

One of my favourite parts of writing – and, by extension, blogging – is that I can, in words, capture a little bit of a day, and keep a little record of the moment. Each post can be a bookmark to a memory, and also part of the story of my life. I love taking notes I walk aro...

🎬 No Country for Old Men

This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.This is The Big Lebowski, but in serious and suspenseful. It has a narrator, who’s also appearing in the movie, and who doesn’t know if he (still) belongs there. You have people demanding money from a guy who stumbled in...

Oh, so Svelte is basically also under the Vercel umbrella? 🙄 (Since 2021? I somehow missed that…)

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Is there a power law of category use?

I have been thinking a lot about categories over the last week or so. It started by Thomas sharing the work he has been doing to build a category index page, whose design I love. I started to realise that I like to put a lot of my blog posts in one of few categories: moments ...

The story of MJ

This is amazing. I could hardly contain my excitement. In one moment, I held James’ latest story in my two paws. In the next, the story was published on the web. “This is the web,” James said; “it’s where dreams can come true.” In that moment, I knew I was in the right place....
