I say time and again there’s a lot of stuff on my site. I consider the site a message in a bottle, a diary, a hangout, a digital garden, a junk drawer. But it’s mine and I like it. There are things here I forgot were here. Today I reworked 3 holiday cards from decades...

Thursday session

Flipboard's browser for the open social web is out for web users today.

Looking over EmDash. I don’t like that they call it “the spiritual successor to WordPress”. Isn’t the spirit of WordPress from Matt Mullenweg’s vision of the project? Matt is very much still involved. Feels wrong for Cloudflare to frame it that way.

This Saturday night in The Hope And Ruin in Brighton…

Please follow me at my new Twitter address: bullmancuso. Whatever anyone thinks of the company the product is still unique, there are people and communities there that I need to communicate with, and I just don't have that kind of network anywhere else.

My first real post in the New Dave On Twitter, or N-DOT.

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. 🤪
