Visited the Jewish Museum of Florida today. The original synagogue was built in 1929, and the second, built in 1936 and now form the museum opened in 1995.
I came here to take the Jewish Walking Tour of Miami Beach. Which I had taken before in 2015…with the same tour guide. It’s a nice walk around Miami Beach, enjoying art deco architecture and having historic sites pointed out.
In 2030, my greatest hope for the indie web is that it is a place where people feel free to create, to experiment, and to always be able to ask – and act on the answers to – the question “what do I want this place to be?”

Documentally, whom I have followed in various places for a while, alerted me to a museum that completely passed me by when I was in Berlin a few weeks ago: the Digusting Food Museum. I doubt I would have sprung for the €16 it apparently required, though I might next time if ...
Treasures of the Pharoahs is a stunning exhibition on at the moment at the Scuderie in Rome. Only a handful of objects, beautifully displayed and with glorious interpretation, unlike, say, the old Cairo Museum. One object in particular caught my eye.
Yes, a woman grinding ...
I have a page on my site, /post, which lists all of my blog posts. For at least the last year, the HTML document title used on the page has been Posts in the Post Category. This is because the page uses the same template as my other category pages. Posts in the Coffee Catego...
We just finished our last Homebrew Website Club Europe event of the year. We spent the time chatting about the last year on our websites – what we made, what we are proud of, what we learned – and looked ahead to what we may be interested in doing next year. One question cam...
The best way to introduce this post might be to reflect on my post from January, where I begrudingly declared some new years resolutions, and see how good I was at keeping them:
I read The Frugal Gamer’s post “If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?” with great joy. Like The Frugal Gamer, I too am bundled up inside bracing the weather. I was hoping to go for a walk but the rain and wind has convinced me to stay inside and instead h...
