Sad to hear about Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Got lost for a while reading about his later work and looking for the lyrics to his spoken word album Hiding in Plain View. Just some of it:

It’s like life is one big masquerade party with cute masks
to mask unshapen identities made by us
to make us feel safe in the face of uncertainty,
but when we hide ourselves to please
we place a piece of our souls on hold
and the safety of that space eventually becomes
a poisonous pit of unexpressed feelings
and untended quirks that never quite get worked out

Rest in peace.

Spirals! Slideorama Pinwheels

The other day in answer to a CodePen Challenge, I created a thing I call Slideorama Pinwheels. I initially put it on CodePen and submitted it to the challenge / contest. And now it’s also on my Lab: Slideorama Pinwheels. Other entrants to the challenge are on CodePen: Collection: #CodePenChallenge: Slide Interactions Screenshot of the...

I posted a quick video to YouTube showing recent improvements in Micro.blog for Mac with notes, including shared notes and the new versions dialog for restoring an old note.

The Great on Hulu gives an idea of what a king or queen would be like. The difference is the actors playing the monarchs are pretty lovable and not stupid, and somewhat self-aware (not their strong suit).

The standard Micro.blog subscription is such a good value that I think Micro.blog Premium gets overlooked. Updated some of the docs today. In addition to email newsletters and bookmark features, Premium gets you 5 blogs, unlimited single-page websites, domain aliases, more. Consider upgrading! 🙂

Tweaked a few things with the new “Archive with months” Micro.blog plug-in. Pretty happy with it. Might still integrate search as an option later.

I'm doing a complicated corner-turn with WordLand and managed to F it up. There's a buggy version of the software running at wordland.social this morning. I'm working as fast as I can to get a good release working in its place, in the meantime, it's not good for very much. Still diggin. As they say. :-)

ChatGPT agent

ChatGPT agent looks impressive. I’m noticing a pattern when these kind of new tools come out, where initially I’m not sure what to do with them. This example from Federico Viticci is great, though: I asked ChatGPT agent to process hundreds of issues of MacStories Weekly on ...

Portugeating

Hi Chris. You mentioned you were off to Portugal soon to explore Lisbon and Porto and I promised I’d send along some food tips from my previous visits. I’ll skip over the obvious. No doubt you’ll seek out pasteis de nata in Lisbon. And I’m sure someone will convince you to ...

The July experiment: week three

75% of the experiment is behind me, and if there’s one thing I learned, it's that screen time on iPhone works like shit. It’s as reliable and consistent as a politician. Let me dump some raw data first, and then I’ll do some normalising and share why I think screen time is b...
