A Landscape of Things To Read

Tracy Durnell recently posted Browsing as Thinking: I’ve been having fun lately browsing as thinking, as in, searching a broad category of terms and exploring what’s connected to that node, in service of the things I want to write about. Essentially, intentionally doing a “bad search” as a means of survey. There’s a character in...

This is what it says on Google about tomorrow night's Knicks game vs the Celtics in Boston. I've pointed the red arrow at the part that makes me think I must be dreaming. NYK leads 3-1. Yesterday at this time (5:30PM Eastern) I was in a funk, sure that the Knicks were about ...

On Sensible Shoes

Jeremy Cherfas inquired about sensible shoe solutions in his post Sensible Shoes. I have an answer that’s not specific, but is something I feel may be useful and worth a read for others: I don’t have quite the same level of shoe and foot troubles. But I have thoughts on shoes. I also am old...

I’m speaking at EFF Austin tonight! Getting coffee this morning and working on my slides. Last-minute panic that everything in my talk needs to change.

Video demo of the new categories editor in WordLand. I wanted to be able to add new categories and edit the descriptions of existing categories without having to leave WordLand. I feel that categories are an important part of writing. It will be in v0.5.12, coming shortly.

A tiny taxonomy of meetings

Meetings can be frustrating. But they don’t have to be. A lot of the frustration comes from unmet expectations. You go into the meeting expecting one outcome, and when it doesn’t materialise, you declare the meeting a waste of time. But had you gone into that same meeting w...

Web Accessibility. Help needed.

This is the current situation: I’ve been working as a freelance web dev for almost 15 years at this point and as a one-man-show it’s goddamn hard to stay on top of everything. Browsers are constantly evolving, specs are constantly evolving, the tools we use—or we’re supposed...

Mavs fans needed a win after losing Luka. Happy for them. And Spurs with the second pick… Amazing. Going to enjoy reading the conspiracy theories about this one. 🏀

From a “lunch with” profile of Sam Altman in the Financial Times:

I find Altman brimming with confidence as our conversation ranges from AI products to the existential question of an AI future that a handful of optimistic technologists are steadily leading us to, whether we like it or not. Radiating ambition, he sounds like a man convinced of his own destiny.

Perhaps you have to be a little overconfident to attempt this. Meanwhile most people are upset that Sam uses the wrong kind of expensive olive oil.

The blank whiteboard

When I am motivated to make new things, my whiteboard becomes a living space. I jot down notes day and night: things I want to do, ideas I want to explore, phrases that come to mind. The ideas I am ready to turn into reality — wireframes, essay ideas, website thoughts — “grad...
