Gardens
A pink symmetry on the peaceful pond catches my eye. “It’s a lotus!” I have made lotuses with paper before, but cannot remember the last time I saw one (have I noticed one before in the way I did today?). The vivid colours are striking: pink petals define the shape of the flo...

Our doubts… (Measure for Measure)
“Our doubts are traitors / And make us lose the good we oft might win / By fearing to attempt.” Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare (Kelly and I saw it at the Old Globe yesterday)

Oh boy updates.
I had a new art piece up last month (it did not sell). Blossomsbugs2026 I’m still posting likes. I’m still posting bodysurfing videos. Blog of the .Day continues! If you have a blog, you are invited to join. See artlung/blogofthe.day on GitHub. I still host events at events.indieweb.org, which I enjoy a great deal. “Masks,...
Sunset; music
The horizon is bathed in orange and a faint pink hue as the hills in the middle distance turn blue with the haze of the summer’s evening. Light white clouds are scattered across the sky. Looking at the clouds, I see art; looking around at the hills and fields I see art, too. ...

Nature
Breathe in. Breathe out. Standing in the fresh warm summer’s air, I found my breath slowing, and deepening. I wandered as I transitioned from the feeling of indoors to the Nature of outdoors. Trees and bushes and the light sounds of Nature accompany me as I put one foot forwa...
75 reasons to start a personal website
I love having a personal website. Here, I share reflections, stories, thoughts, ideas, and more. Because I have a website, I always have the idea in the back of my mind that there is a place for my writing. I can write a story and share it with friends, and even the world. Wh...

Wonders of Web Weaving, Episode 9
The ninth episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out: In Episode 9, I chat with Rachel, the author of kwon.nyc and curator of "The internet used to be* fun *(It still is, but it used to be, too)". We talk about, among other things, metaphors for the web, creative mediums on the web, physical creative spaces, and more. I hope you enjoy the episode! Wonders of Web Weaving also has an RSS feed you can use to follow along from wherever you get your podcasts.
How my images are dithered
I don't know much about dithering. But when I visit other people's sites and they dither their images in cool ways I always wonder how they do it. So in case anyone is wondering, here's my current method for dithering these pink images.

How do I know the system is working?
A few weeks ago, I received a bug report for Artemis that indicated a user’s reader was not being updated as expected. This error was caused by a feed that caused the polling code to error out and stop. My code assumed a value was present and, if it wasn’t, the program would ...
Forest
You look up from your bed of grass flowers, opening your eyes to see the layers of branches grown by the trees in the grove that surrounds you. The blue sky peeks through the gaps between the leaves. The sunlight that shines through and onto the leaves and branches leaves you...
Star
First star — in the sky next to the tall Gothic monument in the town square, a square with many outdoor restaurants — people laugh and take pictures, eat ice cream, stroll, enjoy the moment. I love watching the world. Of seeing colours and tenors and of hearing sounds that you can only appreciate when out in the world — the sound of a bike breaking in the cobblestone, manoeuvring with ease through the town square. Written in Hauptmarkt, Nürnberg.
What does a blog post sound like?
As I write, I hear the keys on my keyboard pressing down – the sounds are fast, rhythmic, comforting. I hear the whirr of a hard drive in the background, and the occasional car walk past. Every so often, bird song comes into the foreground; I hear the calls of birds in the di...
Brainstorming a loginless web reader
At IndieWebCamp Nürnberg, Tilman worked on a “feedroll”, a collection of feeds aggregated on a single page that demonstrates the capability of following different websites with a web reader. This, and a discussion with friends, got me thinking about what a “loginless” web rea...
Author/reader interaction on the indie web
Every so often I hear or read about the significance of readers as part of the indie web. Indeed, the indie web is about much more than making personal websites: it is a space where there are many personal websites to explore. You don’t need a personal website to explore the ...
A week in Nürnberg
James’ Coffee Blog has been on a bit of a break while I went on holiday to Nürnberg, Germany. I set off last Friday and returned the Friday after, during which time I attended an IndieWebCamp, an in-person Homebrew Website Club at Technische Hochschule Nürnberg, and spent man...
