We show you a CSS property name. You tell us if it’s real or if we made it up. That’s it. It starts easy. It does not stay easy.

BTW, suggestion to web-based companies that send out notices via email. It's good to do that, but make sure somewhere there's a link to exactly the same material on the web. It can only build traffic for your ideas, earned media.

Got an email from Automattic about MCP support in WordPress, which is now available on their servers. With this new interface you can write prompts in Claude etc that do things in your WordPress workspace. Kind of like a scripting language, but English, like this -- "In Word...

There's so much bullshit, why deliberately add more -- in hope of being either funny or memorable -- and only succede at annoying.

Why didn’t anyone tell me you need to get tickets to Sagrada Familia weeks in advance? Just kidding, literally everyone I’ve talked to in the last month has told me that. I don’t listen and just do what I want. 🤪

The new WebAIM Million report is out, the eighth annual accessibility analysis of the top one million home pages on the Web. And after eight years of data, the picture is as sobering as ever. In 2019, 97.8% of home pages had detectable WCAG conformance failures. In 2026, tha...

"Four weeks into the war, Iran is plummeting toward total digital isolation with its internet blocked and communications heavily restricted and monitored." And it's part of a bigger trend.

"Groups that challenge books have begun using Gemini, ChatGPT, xAI, and other AI tools to try to get books banned." The point is to create a chilling effect.

I updated the Mac version of Inkwell again this morning. Here’s a very quick demo video on YouTube describing the recent changes.

This post is my contribution to the April 2026 IndieWeb Carnival on the topic of “Adventure”. Thank you for hosting, Pablo! The Seven Hills of Edinburgh challenge invites participants to hike up seven designated hills in Edinburgh within a day. There are official events to p...

This is my entry to the April 2026 Grizzly Gazette Carnival on the topic “Your favourite unconventional animal". My favourite animals are cats, undoubtedly [1] [2]. This month’s Grizzly Gazette Carnival invites participants to think beyond cats, however, to “unconventional” ...

Om Malik blogs about OpenAI’s latest funding round, presumably the last one before an IPO:

OpenAI is quietly pivoting, shutting down Sora, its much-hyped video app, and concentrating resources on a “superapp” for developers and business users, with coding assistants at the center. Why? Because enterprise is exactly where Anthropic is eating their lunch.

I don’t completely agree with this. Yes, Anthropic has the momentum and is making a ton of money. But is it a pivot? OpenAI is still going to release a hardware device within the next year, which is clearly a consumer product.

I’ve seen /ai pages popping up here and there on other people’s blogs. The idea for these pages is, and I quote, «promote trust and transparency». Trust, in the context of 2026 internet—and society in general—is quite the complex topic. Dishing out trust willy-nilly is no lo...

In Grouping link posts in a web reader, I described a feature in Artemis to show when someone whose website you are following has bookmarked a post by an author you also follow. The motivation for this feature was to reduce clutter in a user’s reader by grouping shares of a p...

This month I had the pleasure of hosting the March 2026 IndieWeb Carnival on the topic of “Museum memories”, in which I invited participants to write about a memory of a museum. To everyone who participated – we had over 30 participants this month! – thank you. It was a delig...

Nick Heer blogging on the 50th anniversary of Apple:

But the main reason I am fascinated by Apple is that it has built such a distinct identity for itself. It has not always stuck to it but, if anything, I think that helps reinforce the existence of an Apple-y identity.

Funny how we adapt. I looked at the Barcelona metro map yesterday and thought this is a crazy, jumbled mess of random lines. A couple hours after arriving, it seems totally normal.
