Tonight was a lot of threads connecting for me. At Automattic’s Noho Space we hosted an event for Martin Scorsese’s new documentary about Pope Francis, called Aldeas. There was a point in my life when I wanted to become a priest, and I had been inspired by meeting a Franciscan seminary student. I took it … Continue reading Aldeas →

No, you’re not dreaming, that is a blue Menorahcorn decoration on the lawn across the way. 🕎🦄🤩

Happy we got the new Android update out today. I worked on a few other web things tonight, queued up as pull requests to deploy in the morning. I think we’ve had a good pace of improvements lately, before things slow down a little for the holidays. Tomorrow: photo challenge announcement. ❄️

"Wow, we made it. 2025. One of the years of all time." Tumblr didn't die - figuratively or literally - and, honestly, it's just nice to see it.

"President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday intended to limit state regulation of artificial intelligence." At the same time, states are watering theirs down.

I recently asked the kind folks at Lochby “if the Folio A6 will comfortably fit 25-50 standard 4 x 6″ index cards which are slightly larger than an A6 notebook? If not, is it something you might consider for some of us ‘Hipster PDA’ tribe members in the future?”   Erring on the side of caution … Continue reading

Brodart has recently discontinued their salmon card index cards with pre-drilled holes #23-188-218. This has been a shift since the summer of 2025, though they’re still carrying the standard salmon index cards (without predrilled holds for card catalog rods). A conversation with their customer service team seems to indicate there aren’t plans for discontinuing their … Continue reading

When driving sometimes I’ll have a few ideas for blog posts and I’ll try to narrate the gist of them so I can remember later. My digital notebook is full of discarded blog post drafts. Reminds me of Peter Dinklage’s character in Elf, pointing to his notebook:

I’ve got about 5 of 6 great starts here. I have one idea that I’m especially psyched out of my mind about.

🤪

Delivering total nonsense, with complete confidence.

Disney is licensing characters for Sora and investing $1 billion in OpenAI. Bob Iger: The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment for our industry, and through this collaboration with OpenAI we will thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reac...

Not going to come close to hitting my reading goal this year. This year has been too much. Hoping to finish one or two more books before the end of the year, though… With the holidays approaching, great time to disconnect with a book.

When I was trying to simplify the Design page in Micro.blog earlier this year, I think I went too far, burying the CSS functionality inside of custom themes. I’ve reversed course today and elevated the button to a new section.

The real reason the Dems lost in 2024 is they ran the most inept campaign in history. You could argue about who was to blame, but that is, net-net what happened. They were so bad they made Trump look better! And that is hard to do. :-)

Watched the first half of Spurs/Lakers NBA cup game last night, too tired to stay up for the whole thing. West coast games always get me now. Caught up on the final quarter this morning. Spurs have such a complete team. Bench was great. 🏀

Usually when I think of something new to work on, I add a note in Micro.blog notes. Lately I’ve been trying something new: I’ll type the idea into Codex (cloud) and ask it to plan the basics, but to not write code yet. Then I can come back later to work on it and have some tips to keep in mind.

There’s the old adage “nobody gets fired for buying IBM”. Or to put it more broadly, “everyone else is doing it.” It’s dispiriting how often this explanation is given as justification for a dubious design decision, from home-page carousels to cookie banners. Nic Chan has w...
