Brainstorming visual search for the web

When I am chatting about a website with friends, sometimes I forget the name of the website. I remember what the site is about, and often remember visual details about the site, too. A few months ago, I described a website that aggregated blogs and also mentioned it had a yel...

Walking

The sun sets early at this time of year. Now that I think about it, the shortest day of the year is coming soon, after which point, each following day will be longer. Anyway, I went for a walk before the sun set. If I don’t go out now, I’ll have to wait until tomorrow. That m...

A Lady in Grey

I love thinking about the use of colour in painting. Impressionist paintings never cease to make me smile; their colour illuminates me as it does the places they depict (oh! how wonderful art can be!). I also love paintings that use grey and white, both sparingly and as part ...

The IndieWeb Book Club choice for November 2025 was Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics. I wanted to write a post about this book, but I have lately found myself spending a lot of time reading books rather than writing. My time recently has reminded me of how much I love rea...

Words and making coffee

Sometimes, I feel pressure to write about more serious topics on my website. Surely I have something I can say! While I do love writing the occasional technical blog post here, thoughts on the future of the web, or ideas on another topic, I sometimes feel a bit stuck when I f...

IndieWeb Book Club: Non-Designer’s Design Book

This month’s IndieWeb Book Club book, the Non-Designer’s Design Book by Robin Williams, felt like it was written for me. One of my goals this year was to learn more about design, so I was delighted to see this book on the list. Through the book, Williams introduces and detai...

Music this year

For the last two years, I have posted my Spotify Wrapped updates to my website. I think they serve as much as a reminder to me about what music I was listening to as being potentially interesting to you (I hope, maybe?). This year I moved to Apple Music part-way through the y...

Cleaning the Artemis database

If you are a user of Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain, you may have noticed that there has been more downtime than usual lately. This is largely because of a difficult database task on which I have been working. If you are not interested in the technical details but a...

A340 Lavatories

Have not been on an aircraft where the lavatories are in the cargo hold, below the passenger cabin before. Lufthansa opted to do this on their A340-600s in order to make more room for economy seats. It reminds me of the lower level on an Amtrak train.

Morning

I am sitting on a train, looking — or at least aspirationally looking — in equal measures downward at my phone as well as to the horizon. The sun is rising above the hills; yellow peeks through the light, low clouds. Rain briefly fell. Standing, waiting for the train, I thou...

How to Find Orphan Pages on Static Sites: Python Checker

This blog goes through the process of creating a Python script to find orphan pages (pages without internal links) on a website, Hugo static site files in this case. The script extracts all links from the site and compares it with the full list of pages to get pages which are orphaned.
