Sunset, Düsseldorf

The moment when the sun crosses the horizon feels like it should last longer than it does. Within a few minutes, the sun has moved out of view; the red glow — a moment of transition (is all of life a moment, or moments, of transition?) — tells us where the sun once was. The g...

Of the night; a note

The joy of exploring a city with friends — of getting lost and finding your sense of place again, of laughing under the moon and discussing the rainbows we see when we look at light; of discussing the cuisine of Germany in a warmly lit bakery, a treat as the day came to an end; of looking forward to the next day — conversations and talks and futures.

Designing software with travel in mind

While I was away in Düsseldorf, and when I got back, I received a notification in Artemis asking whether I wanted to change the time zone in which the reader was set. It is important that the user’s timezone is correct so that Artemis can continue to update at midnight in the...

Reorganising the Artemis settings page

Since the release of Artemis, the settings page has been growing steadily in size. What was a few options has grown into over a dozen. With every added option, it was harder to find each individual option. The new settings page With that in mind, over the last few weeks I hav...

Good update on the progress in fediverse UX in this report by Tim Chambers and Sean Tilley. I like this intro to instance selection paralysis:

New users arrive ready to escape Big Tech, and we immediately hit them with 8,000 servers named like medieval taverns crossed with startup pitches.

A longer walk today, then decided to get a few groceries and took a Waymo back. Eventually this isn’t going to be noteworthy. As humans we normalize so many things that once seemed insane.

The photo shows the interior of a Jaguar car, featuring a steering wheel with the logo, multiple screens displaying navigation maps, and a view through the windshield of a road lined with trees. No one is driving the car.

Adventure!

This is a post in response to Pablo hosting of IndieWeb Carnival for April, 2026 on the theme of “Adventure.” My parents contextualized difficult times as “an adventure.” Moving day was an adventure. Broken down car while on a family trip? Adventure. Sunburn during the summer? Adventure. I think it’s a valid way to think...

Still following The Verge coverage from the Elon Musk vs. OpenAI trial. Lots of bizarre moments:

Judge Gonzalez Rogers asks Musk to sum up the plot of Terminator in one sentence. “Worst case situation is AI kills us all I suppose,” he says.

11 down, 33 more to go. Plus a cave.

We had another lovely, sunny weekend last week, and that means I walked the second of the ten segments of the 44 votive churches loop. This time around, I didn’t have to mess with the route in order to hit all the churches in one go because there were no variants. And, like ...

Weather

Last week, I had a call with someone for an upcoming project. I naturally asked how the weather was. Shortly after I asked, I realised that I don’t like to ask about the weather just because British people like talking about the weather. I realised that I wanted to see a sliv...

OpenClaw status with books

There’s a lot of hype about AI becoming like an employee that you can just trust to do things. Much of that is overblown. But I had an experience with OpenClaw this week that is close to that, after months of it sitting idle on a server without much of a purpose. I’ve been w...

Apparently I still don’t know how to join a Zoom call without being muted first. It’s always a surprise what is going to happen when I connect. Camera on? Audio? Who knows!
