Beyond aggregated and summarized stats, in 2025 I met a few amazing people (you know who you are), and started a few projects. Most of these projects started with an idea, or recognizing a problem, that inspired invention.Sometimes the ideas came from observations, shared, q...

🔗 Dan’s Polaroids
I created a new website where I share my Polaroid photos.
One instant photo per day.

Ich wünsche Dir alles Gute zum Geburtstag 🎊🎁🎈 und hoffe, Du machst heute etwas Schönes mit Deiner Familie - vielleicht sogar im Schnee? 🌨️❄️☃️
Bis bald hoffentlich ❤️
🎬 Arctic
Like Cast Away in the snow. I would have like a little more reasoning regarding why he was in the situation in the first place. But I enjoyed Mads Mikkelsen and some great winter landscapes.
🎬 Sleuth

Publishing my citation preferences
I was recently asked by a fellow blogger how I would prefer to be credited in a blog post they were working on. This brought to mind an idea I have been thinking about for a while: how could I indicate the way I would prefer a post on my website to be cited? By having this in...

📖 Between Meals ✍
The temptation, of course, is to review the book as one might a restaurant or a meal, to talk about savouring each witty gem while regretting that the meal must end, profess to being full without having overindulged, knowingly wink at past kitchen practices that today would ...
Software maintenance
In my last blog post, I noted:
With regard to sustainability [of Artemis], there are several considerations: infrastructure and its associated costs, the time required to maintain the software, responding to user requests and inquiries, and more.
This had me thinking about ho...
Why Artemis is invite-only
When someone goes to the Artemis sign up page, a message is presented asking users to ask me for an invite code. While Artemis has been public for almost a year now, the software is still invite-only. I occasionally share the invite code in blog posts, but, despite that, I st...

Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain, has an Authors page that lists all of the websites to which you are subscribed. The list is presented in alphabetical order, with a heading for each letter in the alphabet to aid in navigation. There is a search feature, too.
I follow...

When I first looked out the window this morning, I first noticed the faint pink colour on the horizon. The sun rises later in winter, so I can see more of the morning colours. Then, for a moment I had no words as I saw the moon – bright, full – in the sky, contrasting in grea...

I checked my Strava: Year in Sport 2025 after I did my last run on the 31st, and it felt a bit light. When I checked my saved images/videos from last year’s Strava Year in Sport, it was clear they had dropped several things from 2024 to 2025.First, here’s updated instructions...

Monthly report: December 2025
Janus incarnate; they get you leaving and they get you coming back. Not in living memory have I spent such a dreadful year end and start, restricted to my bed by a heavy cold and bronchitis. A couple of days after Christmas I could not catch my breath during standard, easy w...
Personal and community web search engines
Ever since I made the first version of IndieWeb Search, a search engine that let you search personal websites, I have been thinking about the idea of “community search engines.”
A community search engine indexes materials related to a specific community. The information sour...
