When I think of "Slack" my brain immediately translates it to "AOL." I'm not kidding.
People and blogs involved with and about the IndieWeb community, the fediverse, and/or the open web in general.
Yesterday I wrote about AI introducing doubt with something as fundamental as how software is created now with the advent of AI software that can be used effectively to write software. Behind that I wondered if the open source developers of WordPress had changed their methodo...
Continuing, isn't it a shame that CloudFlare didn't take a different approach? What if they had created a fantastic WordPress runtime, which seems to be where most of their effort went, and that's where their expertise lies, not in crafting new user experiences. A service yo...
Coffee and breakfast earlier this morning at Sip Coffee. ☕️
I keep missing the W3C social web calls. I feel bad about it, but there’s a lot to juggle with travel and work. As soon as I’m settled in one place for more than a few days, looking forward to getting involved.

It’s too bad that ChatGPT Pulse is so expensive. It’s a wonderful product. Here’s an example of one of the stories it brought me this morning. It knows I’m traveling and that I had looked around Gràcia, so it researches places I might want to know about. No one else is doing anything like this.

In The joy of incremental website improvements, I reflected on the idea of building personal websites incrementally:
Making incremental improvements to one's personal website is a joy. Your site can evolve at your own pace, and as you learn. You don't need to set out with a g...
Drafting another blog post with a contrarian take on OpenAI… Not sure why I do this to myself when I should be focusing on my own code. I guess because I think everyone else is mostly wrong. 🤪
I lot of bloggers I respect have posted reflections on Apple’s 50th anniversary. I’m finding that I don’t have much to say. I blogged a couple years ago about my first intro to the Mac. Haven’t felt that magic in a while.
More examples of graduating between mediums of communication
In “Graduating between mediums of communication”, I explored how we can move between mediums of communication to access different affordances. For example, you might “graduate” from a text chat – for example, a Slack thread – to a video conference in a professional context. T...
Using my edit button shortcut
In 2025 I built a browser extension that adds an edit button to your browser. The edit button pages if a page either has:
A rel=edit link;A custom edit link set in the extension preferences, or;A link with an anchor like “edit page” (only available if you enable the setting, ...
Excited that the Artemis II launch seems to have gone off well. I tried to stay up but I feel like a world away now. Too much time zone shuffling lately. 🚀

Taxonomist
I’m really excited to introduce a project I worked on with various AI agents the other night, which I think represents a new way we might build things in the future. First, the problem: My WordPress site has 5,600+ posts going back decades, and I had some categories that were old and I didn’t really … Continue reading Taxonomist →

Project Hail Mary came out right after I left on my trip, so I just finally got to see it today. It was great. English with Spanish subtitles. 🍿
How software feels
I am interested in how software feels to use. Back in 2024, I wrote:
I want to learn about design, I thought to myself, excitedly. I was interested in why some things feel better to use than others – why do some tools feel like a delight, while others feel rough around the ed...
