Watching people online chat, ask questions, and generally get excited about their planners for 2026, I thought I would spend a few minutes to set up my Memindex-inspired planner version using 4 x 6″ index cards and tabbed dividers. It’s amazing how useful a $2.50 block of 500 index cards can be for planning out … Continue reading

Trail just east of I-35.

Homebrew Website Club/Eastern at 6pm EST on Wednesday. We talk websites and such over Zoom, if you have questions about personal websites, webdev stuff and suchlike you’re welcome to join, folks tend to get something useful + chitchat. There are a fair number of regulars but I often learn new stuff and when I have questions I get solid answers about tech old and new. More at events.indieweb.org

Good interview at Wired with Fidji Simo. I didn’t know she had an illness that forces her to work remotely most of the time:

I care a lot as part of my own mission about everybody realizing their full potential. I want a world where health conditions don’t get in the way. Either because we can cure them or because companies accommodate them. We can have technologies that make it easier.

Hi Joe Crawford, We’ll soon enable automatic dubbing on your channel. This means that YouTube will automatically generate translated audio tracks in different languages, making your content accessible to more viewers. No action is needed — we’ll enable this on your channel in the coming weeks. Once enabled, when you upload a new video, we’ll...

I don’t think Disney live-action remakes really need to exist, but the new Moana could work well. Also, there are occasional new songs that I would love to see re-cut into the original animated versions: for Beauty and the Beast, take out Human Again and put in Evermore; for Aladdin, add Speechless.

Alex said in their prompt for IndieWeb Blog Carnival: Let’s talk about cycles and fluctuations and give our world just a little more grace. Yes! I said the other day in some melancholy: I feel sad there will be rain as it may keep me out of the ocean as freshwater drains pollutants down to...

"In hindsight I don't think any reasonable person can say that we're collectively better off. Democracy is losing, and tech is playing an undeniably outsized part in that."

I'm chasing down what appears to be a bug in feedlanddatabase. Items that haven't updated are being reported as having updated. Fairly sure there is a problem here. Next up, will add debugging code so I can see if my theory is correct.

The month is half over. Go read Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud and post that fact to yr website and let me know and I’ll add it to the #IndieWeb Book Club page. It’s in libraries! It’s online! Go! Read! Post!

Sometimes I drive the long way around, through old neighborhoods, imagining the people and buildings that used to be there. Time erases so much.

Great video on YouTube (via Matt Haughey) of old Pacific Electric Railway stations in Los Angeles. I would’ve loved to see some of these when they were active. 🚂

I’m excited to welcome Bonnie Rue to the Micro.blog team! She will be helping with new community-focused projects, leading curation of the Discover section, and working with me to respond to community issues.

We’ll keep improving our community guidelines and adapting to what the community needs. The social web is evolving quickly with new platforms. Micro.blog has always had a unique philosophy: content ownership through blogs, and a safe place to interact with others. As the social web becomes more connected, Micro.blog will stick to its mission while trying to balance the right set of tools to connect with people on other platforms.

I also want to thank the folks who were interested in this role at Micro.blog. I wish we could hire several people! Maybe one day we’ll be able to.

The Lever podcast does have an RSS feed. A good way to find the feed when the usual hacks don't work is to post it here, where it's a matter of pride for the braintrust to dig it up. Thanks as always. 😄

An old quote falsely attributed to Gandhi. “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

Over the weekend I flipped the switch on a new app that makes my blog available on WordPress. It seems to work really well. The WordPress site is Daveverse. And because it's on WordPress it is also available on ActivityPub, at @scripting@daveverse.org, which means you can re...

It’s been hard for me to write about Friday because it was so overwhelming, to see so many friends and loved ones and teachers and mentors there, including friends of my late Father’s I hadn’t seen in years, and to be with all of the people who have been driving the mission of the Rothko … Continue reading Rothko Chapel Garden →

Watched: Being Eddie. Really enjoyed this. 🍿

I wrote this as a comment on Doc's blog. Doc, I’m working on a discourse system that works better than comments, imho. One thing it does is lets me use the full fidelity of the web instead of forcing me to type in yet another Inadequate Text Box (ITB) with none of the featu...
