Some people will tell you the food system is broken. Not so, say Jan Dutkiewicz and Gabriel Rosenberg. Their new book is subtitled Why Industrial Food Is Good and How To Make It Even Better.

We had a long and interesting chat, everything from cellular agriculture to labour in the food industry.

Pens, sleeves, and whiteboards

When I was in high school, I used to keep a pencil or pen up my sleeve. I don’t remember anyone else doing it, or why I started. But if I had a pen up my sleeve, I would at least know I had one nearby for when I’d need one. (I may be mis-remembering whether having a pen up m...

Dopplr colours

Last year I was introduced to the idea of “Dopplr colours” in the IndieWeb community. This refers to an accent colour assigned to cities on the now-defunct travel website Dopplr. You can see examples by clicking through different Dopplr city pages in the Internet Archive and...

Brainstorming search engine ranking introspection

Search is one of my favourite disciplines in computing. In 2024 I spent a lot of time working on a NoSQL engine that I called JameSQL. This tool now powers the search engine on my website. Designing search engine ranking systems is tricky to say the least. When I use my blo...

Preserving calm in software over time

When I announced Artemis in 2024, I titled the announcement “Artemis, a calm web reader, is available (in beta)”. So central to the philosophy of how I build the software is the principle “calm” that, when I write about Artemis, I still use the phrase “a calm web reader” to ...

Artemis “via”

Recently, a feed a few users – including myself – were following with Artemis published a “bookmark”-like post. The markup in the corresponding feed was a bit different than expected, so Artemis ended up linking directly to the bookmarked post rather than to the author’s pos...

Artemis dense layout

This evening I added an idea I have had for a while to Artemis: a "dense" layout. By default, the Artemis interface appears in a single-column layout. The dense layout creates several columns. Each column from left-to-right shows posts for a given day. You can scroll down t...
