While walking around Disneyland Paris yesterday, I was thinking about the parks I’ve visited and the others around the world. So today on the train I decided to make a list on my blog.

It was a good excuse to use Micro.blog photo collections too. See this GitHub Gist for the source.

I don't know about you but I thought there was a pretty good chance Trump would detonate a nuke somewhere yesterday, and the fact that we did not get him out of there in time to prevent it, says we went along with it. You can decide what that means. I've had several friends...

The conference circuit is in a slump these days. That won’t change as long as people don’t buy tickets. And a good conference circuit is typically something that you start to miss only when it’s too late.

Kimberly KG reflects on the latest from our president:

And yet, he’s still in office. Still not being held accountable. Who are we?

To keep our sanity, over the last year we’ve gone from outrage to mocking. Watch how late night TV makes fun of the ridiculous and dangerous things that Trump says. But surely with the Iran war this has turned a corner from the absurd and mostly bad just for our country to the potentially catastrophic.

He must be removed from office as soon as possible. See also this video predicting exactly that from James Carville. 🇺🇸

Really enjoyed my short time in Paris. I generally think that Europeans have gotten so many things right that we Americans are still struggling with. But… what is with all the smoking, still, in 2026? Someone should tell them it’s bad for you. 🚬

Today I read Tom Zylstra’s post human.json, in which he said (in response to two other posts: AI Policy and Human.json, Adding human.json to WordPress) the following: Claudine Chionh and Terence Eden both mention human.json, a data file that lists people and sites you know are written by humans, as opposed to generated by AI....

I like this thought from @patrickrhone:

The biggest danger with AI is that it is a shortcut around things that matter. Things that matter intellectually, things that matter socially, and things that matter emotionally.

I think that’s right. We have to make deliberate choices, which is hard right now because AI is like, “Hi, I can do everything for you.” But what actually makes us uniquely human? What has more value and meaning if we do it ourselves? I want shortcuts that give us more time for those things that matter. (And it’s complicated because that might not be the same for everyone.)

This cannot continue.

I got to meet @vincent in person for the first time while in Barcelona. He and his wife even brought me some sweet treats and special vodka from Poland! I’m lucky to be able to work remotely. As I type this, I’m in a cafe in Paris. But there’s nothing like meeting face to fa...

Hacker News isn't a software masterpiece. All the pieces have to be there to make something as real as HN happen. As with Craig's List, Markdown, HTML, WordPress, RSS 2.0, Lotus 1-2-3 and of course these are just some of the building blocks of the tech stack we use today many years later. A press release does not count as validation.

The president of the United States is spinning around acting like a NYC real estate jumbo who accidentally was elected president and after only five years in office has realized a whole new level of trolling. It started with cable news, then went to Twitter, then masked Amer...

Sometimes I look back through my blogging archives and notice what’s changed over time. For example, I used to write quite enthusiastically about the arrival of a new operating system from Apple. That is no longer the case, to put it mildly. I’m currently holed up on Sequio...

Not sure I buy the argument here, though I do very much look forward to local language models getting better so we can ditch the predatory peddlars of today’s slop. But this trip down memory lane to the early web of the 1990s could’ve been describing my own experience: B...

Front page of Comic-Con International website in 2025 I’ve had this image in my folder of potential blog posts and web pages since early 2025. I don’t have a lot to add in words. But I am always glad to see myself in costume with other folks in costume. On this image I’m center left...

The new Frozen ride is really well designed. At Disneyland Paris / Disney Adventure World.

It’s very cool to see Theo / t3.gg‘s open source arc. Just in general, with people creating more software than ever, it’s so exciting to see an explosion of open source and a growing understanding of why working together on open source makes so much sense for the future we want to build.
