The seventeenth episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out:
In Episode 17, Mike interviews James, the author of "with words, wonder" (formerly James' Coffee Blog) about, among other things, identity and personal websites, writing on the web, communicating the potential of personal websites, and more.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
Wonders of Web Weaving also has an RSS feed you can use to follow along from wherever you get your podcasts.
Still weird that today is Tim Cook’s last day as CEO. I got my first Mac toward the end of the John Sculley era. To me he’s the third most consequential, behind Steve and Tim.
Heck of a company. Two years ago I blogged that we were at peak Apple. John Ternus now gets to figure out if that’s true.
Reading Parker Ortolani’s blog post about the Pebble Index, I almost wish I hadn’t cancelled my pre-order. I still don’t think I would wear it, but it does seem closest to what I want for note taking.
Started catching up on email and RSS links at 11:30am instead of 8am, and already I feel like I’m behind on everything. Monday morning, I guess.
Stopped in San Antonio for coffee + work. Just updated my state parks page with last night’s visit to Goliad. Plotting a few more parks I can knock out this fall. ☕️
Fatpages. I'm working on a code release that's on the path to Frontier. It reads and writes fatpage files, a format we invented for releasing new and updated parts for Frontier in 1997. So this is very old but perfectly useful technology that's being built in a new release of Frontier, the first in 1.5 decades, depending on how you count years and forks.
Claude Code is like Victor Wembanyama, assuming you follow the NBA and are interested in my first-hand experience with CC as a programming partner for the last 8 months or so.
Yellowing leaves blow over the path in front of me, making a sound as they move. Every leaf, a colourful reminder of the coming autumn. Looking up and around and straight ahead, I felt the fresh breeze blow against my face and my hair. The sunlit grass gleamed. Further ahead, the canopy of trees rustled with the wind. With every sound and colour and feeling, I feel alive.
I've been watching The Pitt, but it can be a bit much, so I went looking for something a bit lighter, and found 9 to 5 on Amazon Prime. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton are the stars, and Dolly's famous song with the same name is the theme. It's a perfect slice of the world I grew up in. I get it confused with Working Girl which came out eight years later, with a similar theme -- what if women ran the business world, how much better would that be? Working Girl also had a really good theme song, written and performed by Carly Simon.

On Saturday I exhibited work at WOCA. It was a wonderful time. Kelly was very supportive. I have a passel of photos yet to post and I want to add the pieces I made to my art page in the next week. I’ve been to WOCA several times with friends, and this is the third...
