The Timeless Way of Building

The book for this month’s IndieWeb Book Club, hosted by Nick, is Christopher Alexander’s book The Timeless Way of Building. The book is about architecture, but its principles have broader application to any discipline involved with building something. The idea of a “pattern...

EOTD: “Hi Joe Crawford, let’s connect”

Another email offering would-be free money got through my spam filters. Previously: EOTD: “This is a legitimate arrangement—no risk to you.” Hi Joe Crawford, I’ve put a lot of thought into this email, and I hope that comes through. I’m %REDACTED%, a Senior Full Stack Engineer from %REDACTED_COUNTRY% with 8+ years of development experience. I...

Landscape by Moonlight

Whenever I visit an art gallery, there is inevitably a painting that sparks joy, or otherwise leaves me with an impression that sticks with me. Peter Paul Rubens’ Landscape by Moonlight was one such painting. The painting depicts a landscape at night time. The ground and the...

Library memories

One of the ideas Frances shared when we exchanged blog post titles was to write about a memory from a library. While the prompt “Sparking joy” is the one I ended up writing about, as soon as I started to think about library memories a few ideas came to mind. One memory in par...

Space

Two years ago, I visited Greenwich in London. I had been to London before, but Greenwich was that bit further out so I hadn’t made the trip. What drew me to Greenwich was the Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian line. The day I visited, I had great joy standing over the P...

Exploiting brain flaws

In my “closing thoughts” post about the phone usage experiment, I mentioned I had deeper thoughts I wanted to share. Here I am, sharing those thoughts. I ran various month-long life experiments over the years, many of which I chronicled here on this blog. For that reason, th...

Ideas for managing post volume in web readers

As I subscribe to more web feeds, I am starting to think about whether there are features that a “calm” web reader should have that are designed specifically for managing the number of posts in one’s reader. I recently introduced Artemis roll-up to “roll up” a week’s posts f...

Federico Viticci blogs about using Android foldables, thinking about the upcoming iPhone foldable:

Anyway, what every foldable has also taught me is that it’s just so nice to realize you can open your phone and be taken into a quasi-tablet environment without having to go grab a separate device. This happens to me all the time: I’m doing some research and realize I want to keep my browser next to, say, ChatGPT; without interrupting what I’m doing, I can open the Z Fold and continue the task, now with two apps shown on screen.

Also I love the name iPhone Duo.

Like the native Micro.blog client apps, Inkwell for web and macOS are open source. We aren’t great at incorporating contributions into the shipping versions, but it feels right. With AI-assisted development, the code itself is not as valuable as the whole package — design, infrastructure, etc.

A Fisherman Of The Inland Sea by Ursula K. Le Guin

When I was summing up my reading habits in 2022 I said: I think the lesson this year is: you can’t go wrong with Octavia E. Butler or Ursula K. Le Guin. I stand by that. But maybe I’d recommend some Ursula K. Le Guin books more than others. A Fisherman Of The Inland S...

Newness ~ Oldness ~ Waves

I made a new site header. This one was fun. I reused a background that was a great big GIF and turned it into an AVIF which is half the size. I added it in the same directory where the original one was. The folder name is permanent_media. I was half my current age when...

Inkwell 1.0.1 is out for Mac with several bug fixes, especially for dark mode. Choose “Check for Updates” from the application menu to get the latest version.

If you missed the announcement, I posted a video about Inkwell yesterday.

Gulf of Mexico. Heading out on a kind of crazy adventure that I’ll blog more about later. As usual with my travel, I’ve devised the most complicated trip possible. Boat, trains, planes!

Ocean waves stretch out under a partly cloudy sky.

Blossom

When I write about nature, I sometimes go to my archives and search for what phenomena I am thinking about. I was looking at my previous posts on blossom and saw that I last wrote about the topic on the 5th of April, 2025. I started my post with “One of my favourite times of ...
