The Timeless Way of Building
The book for this month’s IndieWeb Book Club, hosted by Nick, is Christopher Alexander’s book The Timeless Way of Building.
The book is about architecture, but its principles have broader application to any discipline involved with building something.
The idea of a “patter...
Landscape by Moonlight
Whenever I visit an art gallery, there is inevitably a painting that sparks joy, or otherwise leaves me with an impression that sticks with me. Peter Paul Rubens’ Landscape by Moonlight was one such painting.
The painting depicts a landscape at night time. The ground and th...
Library memories
One of the ideas Frances shared when we exchanged blog post titles was to write about a memory from a library. While the prompt “Sparking joy” is the one I ended up writing about, as soon as I started to think about library memories a few ideas came to mind. One memory in pa...
Space
Two years ago, I visited Greenwich in London. I had been to London before, but Greenwich was that bit further out so I hadn’t made the trip. What drew me to Greenwich was the Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian line. The day I visited, I had great joy standing over the ...

Added support for photos and videos
Three days after posting Changes to the Site and it’s already out of date.

Then I realised I needed a video in my post. If you’ve read Museum memories you’ll know why.
Ideas for managing post volume in web readers
As I subscribe to more web feeds, I am starting to think about whether there are features that a “calm” web reader should have that are designed specifically for managing the number of posts in one’s reader.
I recently introduced Artemis roll-up to “roll up” a week’s posts ...
Blossom
When I write about nature, I sometimes go to my archives and search for what phenomena I am thinking about. I was looking at my previous posts on blossom and saw that I last wrote about the topic on the 5th of April, 2025. I started my post with “One of my favourite times of...
Sparking joy
I am trading blog post titles with Frances. Frances wrote Where art exists in my life. I will be writing “Sparking joy”.
On the top right corner of my bedroom whiteboard, written in orange pen – one of my favourite colours! – reads:

Museum memories
This is my entry for this month’s IndieWeb Carnival: Museum memories.
I have not been to many museums or galleries. I am not a cultured person.
My favourite museum is the city of Barcelona.
