This was another fantastic conference from the Clearleft team, and one that I hope is repeated next year. It is absolutely incredible what you can do in the browser these days, and even though I thought I was keeping up with the latest developments, it astounded me how far things have come.

Four years ago I wrote about something that has long puzzled me in the world of front-end development. Trust: The mindset I’ve noticed is that many developers are suspicious of browser features but trusting of third-party libraries. Developers are more likely to tru...

Never forget:

• The time Apple lied to the UK regulator
• The time when Apple told the EU that Safari is 3 different browsers
• When Apple tried to shut the UK investigation down
• When Apple’s VP of Finance got caught lying under oath
• When Apple tried to wreck all EU Web Apps

When I think of "Slack" my brain immediately translates it to "AOL." I'm not kidding.

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.

My wish is coming true!

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.

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...

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. 🚀

I don’t have a sitemap, but I am sneaking up on one. Here are some pages which have gotten some improvements lately. I learned a lot looking at my old splash pages. Lots of stuff afoot. Here are some sections: Search & Navigation search site index slash pages Projects headers mixtapes art weird web october...

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 →
