We have so many apps now, I’ve created yet another page with a table of apps across platforms and the current versions. The key improvement is it automatically updates with info from App Store Connect about whether there’s a new version in the queue.

Of course I love RSS. ;-)

I'm spending a year at Stanford to explore community platforms in news.

Saturday afternoon outdoor session in Belfast

Ultimately AI will flatten out the differences in languages.

It’s a very chilling 38°C outside at the moment. Those are at least 35 more that the max temperature this dog considers acceptable. But he’s doing his best to ride the heatwave, like the rest of us.

Thank you for keeping RSS alive. You're awesome.

The month of July is history. A fine month. A coral reef was seeded.

I’ve been working on cross-platform mobile apps so much recently, had a funny moment while improving some things in Sunlit where I thought, “But how is this going to look on Android…” It’s not! iOS-only Swift app.

I noticed my Model X was uploading ~2.6gb of something to Tesla when it parked and connected to WiFi. Hopefully turning all these settings off stops it; otherwise, I might need a new car. But are any good?

I really, really, really like this proposal! This would absolutely turbo-charge cross-document view transitions with nary a line of JavaScript in sight.

Today is “Send a Friend a Webmention Day!” What’s that? See indieweb.org/send_a_friend_a_webmention_day, and the 2026 event page. I’m running late, and these folks may not have websites which support webmentions but nonetheless they are great friends, acquaintances, or really interesting people worth knowing about. Have a great weekend everyone! And now, the list (in randomized...

The hardest thing for people to get about open systems is that if you move forward, not only do you benefit, but your competitors benefit equally. When one of them takes but doesn't give back, that's even worse. But you do it anyway because otherwise eventually, without interop, no one can move.

I hear the birds singing as I sit by the window and look out on the horizon. I like looking at all the colours of the sky in the moments after sunset, when ambers recede and the sky becomes ever more blue before night time. I hear the sound of my fingers typing on my keyboar...

I watched the movie "Valentines Day" (2010) for the first time today, which stars, among others, Taylor Swift. The energy in this scene (especially the enthusiastic and excited way in which the words are said, while Taylor carries a huge bear) 1 fills me with joy:
[call out: "Save the Lattes!"]
Taylor: They're putting lattes in the vending machines? Finally!
Taylor: Robbie, I am so glad you are taking care of this.
Robbie: You got it.
Taylor: And, I like caramel lattes, just FYI.
I am not a fan of caramel lattes, but I do love this scene!

Stood literally 50 feet away from actual Kylie Minogue! Thank you Nick Cave.

Links to this 404 Media article about scanning books for AI caught my eye because it implicates ISBNdb, which is one of the services we use in Micro.blog to get book metadata. The article says: …ISBNdb now helps AI labs source bulk printed book purchases of between 1,000 to...
