Colour
This is my entry for this month’s IndieWeb Carnival. The topic is colour.
I think a lot about colour.
I used to wear Hawaiian shirts almost every day. I like the colours, I thought to myself. Especially on a grey morning, colour makes all the difference. The colours made me...
This google chrome history screenshot is such a good illustration of what it looks like in my head. Read from the bottom up.
Seems like we got some breaking news out of Bloomberg’s reporting on the Apple internal meeting. Apple had tried to update Siri with both the existing commands plus LLM-based functionality as a hybrid system, but it didn’t work well. The new Siri will be unified under a single new architecture.
The new Naked Gun is hilarious. So many gags. Very much in the same spirit as the originals. 🍿

The long-lived fearless and fully paid-up version of Uncle D.

Did Craigslist decimate newspapers?
"Here in six short chapters is the tale of Craigslist’s rise to a business generating hundreds of millions of dollars a year, how Newmark has used that fortune and how newspapers, slow to adapt, failed to respond effectively to the digital shift.”
Released a new version of the Mac app this morning, fixing several problems with the accessibility description window. I like updating the ridiculously long help page because I think the release notes show a commitment to steady improvements going back 8 years. Maybe at year 10 it’ll be really good.
I have a lot of code written before ChatGPT. Sometimes, as I read my old code, I wonder how the heck I ever figured that out without it.
