Delightful technology experiences

My previous blog post on the need for link best practices for Stories, wherein I note some deficiencies with existing Stories implementations on the open web, has me thinking about the opposite end of user experience: what technology experiences or features have been delight...

We need to define best practices for Stories and links

Both the BBC and Wired are experimenting with Stories-like interfaces. The BBC has been shows short videos for sports highlights and news stories. Here is an example of a sports Story section on the homepage today: https://jamesg.blog/assets/images/2025/08/bbc_story.png AL...

Change

A little thing I wrote in my notes recently:

To push for things to stay the same means you miss out on all the richness that can come from novelty — to miss out on all the stories one could have lived.

As the years pass I appreciate the beauty of the changing seasons more, and all of the new-to-me things I see within each.

Colour

This is my entry for this month’s IndieWeb Carnival. The topic is colour. I think a lot about colour. I used to wear Hawaiian shirts almost every day. I like the colours, I thought to myself. Especially on a grey morning, colour makes all the difference. The colours made m...

A wooden love heart and a pot of flowers

The Guardian has a series where they ask a question and collate a few of the responses. A recent prompt caught my eye: “have you found anything unexpected when you moved into your new home?”. When I read this prompt, I got to writing. My response is below. I submitted it to ...

We’re in England. Two days ago we met Jasper and he took us on a walk along the Seven Sisters cliffs between Eastbourne and Brighton. It was great meeting in person and talk, take photos and getting rained on. And while I’m only hoarding negatives, he has photos posted to his blog.
