Class Action Park is a great documentary about a New Jersey waterpark where people died. Even just the trailer is amazing. Seek out the documentary and watch it. Chris Gethard is one of the folks interviewed for the documentary. He wrote for “Weird New Jersey” I think Gethard is great. He’s responsible for a piece...

A few times during the WordCamp US keynote, I asked for a show of hands and got mostly blank stares back, especially on the AI questions. That’s not a criticism — it’s a reading list. If the future is going to be built on this stuff, the WordPress community should be fluent in it. Here’s the homework. … Continue reading Homework from WordCamp →

Reading up AT Proto Spaces. (Wait, when did we start spelling it Atproto?) It’s private-ish, not encrypted, and kept out of the relay… I think this is going to be a big deal.

Just listened to a podcast from the New Yorker, interviewing their TV critic Emily Nussbaum, about a show called Slings & Arrows. She says it's the best TV series she's ever watched. No reviews on Metacritic? I think we have to try to watch it. It's available on YouTube.

Had a breakthrough with Claude this morning re how builtin verbs have no special powers in Frontier. It's why we were able to build glue first for the truly builtin stuff, then over Apple Events on the Mac, then HTTP, XML-RPC, the Metawebolog API and on and on, all of this we...

Apple responds to OpenAI’s motion to dismiss. Yawn. I think when OpenAI shows their new device later this year and it doesn’t resemble a HomePod at all, this lawsuit is going to feel pointless.

Watching video from WordCamp, Matt Mullenweg mentions they should be putting WordPress profiles on their badges:

Why are we putting like Twitter handles and other stuff. We are the WordPress people. We should be… you know our WordPress profiles and our blog URLs as the primary thing we’re promoting, not these random other walled garden social networks, right?

I didn’t realize that they owned w.org too. See also: “hello my URL is” name tags.

I don’t know if this has gotten worse with Liquid Glass, but I’m noticing that simple context popup menus are just too slow on iOS because of the fancy animation. I’m tempted to write my own that opens immediately when speed matters.

James sent me this the other day. That’s Gwen, tired. I left my place of employment. The weight of the last job was unhealthy and so I took action. I don’t like it when something with promise turns rancid. I don’t know what’s next, but I can be hired to do any number of web...

Zachary and I are trading blog post titles. Zachary has written a blog post in response to the suggested title “What everyone should know about Australia”. I have written my post in response to the title “Why I wish people a happy day of the week”. For the last year or so, ...

Recently, one of the websites I follow (not this one!) changed their name. Artemis, the web reader I maintain, was still using the old name for the feed. This makes sense in the case of Artemis because users can choose their own names for an author; if the author name were s...

The Macbook Air in Carlos‘ response to Michael’s post “My perfect laptop” caught my eye as soon as I saw it. The Macbook (which I will refer to as a “Mac” going forward) in the blog post looks similar to my first Mac. I originally wanted a Mac because I had been following CS...

HTML has been gobbling up swathes of what used to be JavaScript’s remit. This page lists a bunch of dynamic functionality that we can now achieve with just HTML.

Instead of chasing an ever-changing number of fixed breakpoints, utopian or intrinsic design follows the web’s intrinsic ebbs and flows via fluid type scales that are always in tune with the screen on which they’re viewed

I look out the window. Every time I look I notice change: the ambering of leaves that are still green in my memory, the movement of clouds as they go from one end of the sky to the other, the movement of leaves as they sway to-and-fro with the light morning breeze; some morn...

Continuing to improve the Logs page in Micro.blog. I think the color for different tasks helps. Still a little nerdy, but it’s a very useful page to understand what Micro.blog is doing.
