When I announced that I was open-sourcing a quiz maker earlier this week, I noted that there were several limitations to what I had built. Most importantly, my quiz maker was a Python script, which substantially limits how many people can use it. After writing the blog post,...

Still need to record my Jim Lill response video…

Content warning: This poem is about the ongoing heat in Europe. I strike an optimistic tone toward the end, but if you would prefer not to read about the heat, I offer you one of the Scottish poems I have written in stead. Nature’s weary tears fill the air; invisible, warming. Relentlessly, days proceed. Hours pass; Celsius rises. Midnights: warm like day. We stay inside. Blinds closed, water glasses full, cookers off. Flowers bloom early. Eyelids weigh; we yearn for rest that does not come. Heat ravages the continent. London is Rome. Roads reduce to liquid, power lines sag: infrastructure is under stress. Headlines depress. Hope: We come together, reaching with open eyes. Her resiliency: Our future?

I am continuing to experiment with writing some fiction on this blog. Here is a story I wrote today. Where were words when you needed them the most? Lena had been searching for the answer to that question for her whole life. For Lena, telling a story to light coming from a ...

The seventh episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out: In Episode 7, I chat with Ana, the author of ohhelloana.blog. We talk about, among other things, the growth we see in our websites over time, finding an in-person indie web community, and connecting with people using personal websites.

Europe, next 7 days: up to 18 °C above normal.

“It’s been hot before.” Sure. And the last ten years are the ten hottest ever recorded. This is the second heatwave in a month – made 3–5 times more likely by climate change. We decide how much worse it gets. #ClimateAction #Vote accordingly

Messi doing Undav things. 😁

Looking idly out the window of my favourite coffee shop, sipping on a cool iced latte that I needed after a long walk on a warm summer’s afternoon, a thought came to mind: Why am I so fascinated by the outside world when I just sat down inside? Even now, back at my desk, I f...

LMK if you have questions about any piece of equipment on the list or if you’d like me to write about any of them in more detail. 🤗

I just updated my /uses page with all the gear I use for design work, workshops, and audio things. And while I was at it, I replaced all links to Jeff’s online shop with direct links to the respective manufacturer or Thomann.de (💙🇪🇺):
