Awe

Two people slightly in front of me, to my left, crane their heads to the sky, following the one-hundred-and-eighty-year-old structure to our right. They slowed down as they walked. Does awe have a pace? I walk past the monument often, a reminder of the literary history of th...

Autumn

The sun danced with the clouds in a competition where both the clouds and the sun wins, for there is always light and cloud. The music was the melody of morning, a morning on which I saw the first frost lying on the quiet grass by the river, a few days after having seen the ...

Okay Typosphere, Who else is using their typewriter to converse with others via web and Webmention?

White index card with blue typed words: "A new typewriter feature ENABLED: @mentions on the web!"

As I was scrolling along yesterday, a post about the lovely Professional Elite typeface popped up in my feed on Reddit. It linked back to Tom Fasano’s website, so I read the original there. I noticed a syndication icon at the bottom and stopped dead in my tracks! Had I run into a fully featured … Continue reading Okay Typosphere, Who else is using their typewriter to converse with others via web and Webmention?

A typewritten index card nestled in to the keyboard of a green Olympia SM3 which reads: "Tom! Surely a first in technology history: My green 1959 Olympia SM3 with the Professional Elite No. 41 typeface is saying hello to your Bron Olympia SM3 with a similar Professional Elite face from my website to yours by way of webmention. What can't a typwriter accomplish these days?!? Perhpas they'll meet in the near future in-person at a type-in? Warmest regards, Chris"

Tom, a hello from my typewriter to yours!

Atlantis update. We found docserver.root and the static site builds. As you can see from the screen shot it needs moderizing, luckily we have a much more beautiful design already deployed for Drummer.

Toni Schneider, CEO of Bluesky, responded to my advice, and I responded to that. Someday I hope that thread will be browsable in either app, and could be written in either app (Bluesky or RSS.chat) or any other compatible app, which basically means supporting RSS 2.0 with some new elements to get us to the next level of discourse with just a few little standards, like podcasting, but for text.

Rumor is OpenAI is launching a new agent called Aeon next week. I hope they can also finish consolidating Chat, Work, and Codex. More users will switch to Meta’s Muse if ChatGPT’s suite of products remains so disjointed. Muse already has a great, approachable brand.

Think local

If you’re anything like me, you’re sick of hearing about so-called “AI”. We are not a fringe. The majority consensus amongst actual regular people is that this is being forced down our throats and stuffed into our eyes and ears. That’s why it pains me that I’m about to add ...

Another update on the new theme editor: I added a “…” context menu with a “Show Locations” item. This will show where a template is coming from, e.g. your custom theme or a plug-in. Still can be confusing, but getting better.

I filled out the Siri AI class action settlement to get my $25 to $95. But I’m not happy about it, because for these lawsuits all I can think about is how much the lawyers are making. It’s a racket.

Is AI ruining my brain?

thoughtbot.com/blog/is-ai-ruining-my-brain

I am an AI skeptic/hater/slow adopter, due to a combination of concerns about the ethics and environmental impact of AI and the fact that I like doing things myself. I knit my own socks, I built a swing for my porch this summer, and every Thanksgiving I make pies from scratch — even the crust (do you like my handmade em dash?).

Choke Canyon State Park. Kind of a rough night camping. Pretty much had the place to myself, though, except rabbits and deer.

HTTPS is bugging me again. Now that my main desktop is finally a modern Mac, I can see how ugly Google is getting about my poor old blog that goes back to 1994. I think they should make exceptions for historic sites. Go ahead and have your AI do a scan and see that there are ...
