I have talked before about my mistrust of big platforms, and fear of digital video. Along those lines, an email I got 8 days ago: SUBJECT: Facebook’s Video Storage Policy Is Changing: Download Your Old Live Videos In The Next 7 Days Download your old Facebook Live videos by May 25. We are sending you...

Nice guide for setting up Phosphor icons with a Micro.blog site, using the mnml theme.

Monday session

As much as my CSS Battles are me, writing HTML and CSS and talking about it, sometimes I talk like I blog. From my video o May 25, 2025: …so much of any coding task is trying. And trying again and trying again and failing and failing and trying and trying and failing and failing...

As teams at GDS prepare to launch a refreshed brand for GOV.UK on 25 June, so the X-GOVUK community has been updating its projects in preparation for this go-live date.

Poster I created to mark Good Machine’s first firebreak week.

Reminder that next week (Sunday) we’re starting a new photo challenge that will run through all of June. Follow @challenges for the prompts, which will be posted each day. 📷

I feel like I should help Harvard, because Harvard helped me, and if you use podcasting or RSS, it helped you too. In 2002, I was ready to leave Silicon Valley, and RSS needed a safe place to be parked, or I felt the tech industry would keep trying to own it, and make it fa...

I never really had any opinion about the Indiana Pacers. Honestly I was surprised they even made the playoffs this year. And they did catch the Knicks with their pants down, after clearing out the reigning champion Boston Celtics in the second round of the playoffs this yea...

The Rehearsal season 2 is a masterpiece. I can tell the final episode is going to be something I think about for a while, and again anytime I fly.

Gus Mueller blogs about being indie and Brent Simmons’s upcoming retirement. This is accurate:

Only crazy people are willing to put up with having to file business taxes, mess with social security, find healthcare, deal with all the stuff you have to handle to be indie. And you don’t even have to be a particularly good programmer. You just have to be persistent.

Also, congrats Brent! 🎉

Simon Willison has a fantastic, detailed look through the Claude 4 system prompt. Personality, safety, tools, and artifacts.

It was so predictable. Shortly after Pete Rose died, baseball rescinded his lifetime ban, and now he can be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

He had more hits than any baseball player ever.

A role model in so many ways, and like all heroes he had fatal flaws. You may think he set a bad example for kids, but I say the opposite. You don't give kids enough credit. What he taught was that a man with average athletic ability could will himself to achieve.

I grew up with a Pete Rose ethos, why shouldn't I go for it all? I feel so sad that he couldn't have gotten the acceptance he so totally deserved. How could we not forgive him? He was Charlie Hustle! ❤️

Enjoyed Mission: Impossible. A couple minor nitpicks, but I liked the throwbacks to earlier movies. Crazy that it’s been a nearly 30-year series. 🍿

A day away from the blog. Really enjoying the NBA playoffs, even though the Knicks are still in it. Nice turnaround after the first quarter for the Minnesotas. Still hoping for a finals between them and the Knicks. It'll be interesting to see how the Knicks change their lineup. Hopefully no more isolation-ball with Brunson. It's boring and doesn't work. Melo 2.0. Might make sense if he was LeBron, but he's not and LeBron's game is boring anyway. Let's do this well, win or lose.

At this weekend’s Homebrew Website Club, the topic of Taylor Swift came up (I wonder who brought that up!). One person shared the layers in the song exile; how they became more perceptible with different pieces of audio equipment. The song has layers. Today I have been liste...

If I’m understanding Greg correctly here, he’s saying it’s okay for people to use large language models …because they’re being forced to?
