When we added private, end-to-end encrypted notes to Micro.blog, I said that this would be a foundation for new features. The first feature was shared notes. Any private note can be published to your blog with a special, unguessable URL, convenient for sharing with other peo...

Preamble The Ojo Creativo studio is down the street from Chicano Park, which is around the corner from where I was baptized, which I talk about in my comic. It got on my radar during an art crawl a few years ago. About Ojo Creativo Rafael Rios photographs tintype images. These are not kitsch. And...

Whenever I’m about to launch a new feature, I feel slightly guilty… Why not improve all the other features first? But we are! I think the news blog history speaks for itself. There are improvements nearly every day, including fixes deployed all through Labor Day weekend.

CSS Grid where have you been all my life? Very rational, simple.

Contrary to what I had planned, I didn’t post weekly updates on my challenge throughout August. No particular reason why, I was just busy doing various other things and posting updates on the hikes was low on my list of priorities. But, I am happy to report that I have succe...

I am very, very excited about this …Web Day Out!

https://webdayout.com/

A one-day event all about what you can do in web browsers today: Brighton, 12 March 2026!

Ben Thompson blogging at Stratechery about the Pixel 10’s trade-off to prioritize AI above everything:

That Google is clearly sacrificing traditional CPU and GPU performance isn’t a flaw: it’s a very rational approach to a market where it is a big underdog, particularly given it is the company best situated to delivery truly integrated AI, from chip to model to cloud.

Jeremy Keith announcing a new conference in Brighton:

Web Day Out is all about what you can do in web browsers today. You can expect talks that showcase hands-on practical uses for the latest advances in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript APIs.

Also specifically calls out that there won’t be AI talks.

I’m going to cut right to the chase: Clearleft is putting on a brand new conference in 2026. It’s called Web Day Out. It’ll be on Thursday, March 12th right here in Brighton. Tickets are just £225+VAT. You should be there! If you’ve ever been to Responsive Day Out or Patter...

It’s funny because it’s true

Enjoyed the discussion about automation and AI tools on the latest AppStories podcast. I’m not a Notion user, but I can see the appeal of something that does so much. Just prefer Markdown everywhere and open formats.

Worked on core platform bug fixes and a new feature today, plus preparing a new version of Epilogue. I’ll probably submit to Apple tomorrow, Google later this week. Feeling pretty good about the recent improvements.

Cool update to the mnml theme for Micro.blog: pinning a blog post from a category to the top of the home page.

Whaddaya mean I’m not excited enough? It’s my day off, OK?

The New Yorker is always good, but they’re having a bit of a victory lap as they celebrate their centennial. This article on the vaunted fact-checkers is such a delight, with so many in-jokes and back references it’s hard to keep track. When I started WordPress, I wrote down five publications that I hoped someday … Continue reading Fact Checkers →

Monday session

I spruced up my mixtape lists. The earliest dates to 1984. 14 yr old-me who cared a great deal about the levels, taped stuff from the radio and from my uncle’s record collection. I was only chewed out about messing with the tonearm balance once. I’m still making mixes. See them all at artlung dot...
