Y’all are great

I keep hearing and reading people bitching and moaning about the web being dead, lamenting the good old days of the web, when real people were out there, and sites weren’t all about promoting some shit nobody cares about or attempting to amass an audience only to then flip i...

Following up on input diet

Always nice to get emails from people sharing their thoughts on this topic. Looks like I’m not the only one feeling this way, and a few weeks back Jeremy wrote a post touching a very similar topic. It also made me smile seeing him mention Henry David Thoreau in his post beca...

Input diet

Two related pieces of writing are doing the loops in my head recently. The first is the editorial piece from Dense Discovery #361—thank you Mattia for sending it to me—where Kay wrote We’ve normalised giving our attention almost exclusively to people who already have obscen...

A moment with a decidedly less gloomy church

If you’re subscribed to my From the Summit newsletter, you might recognise this church. It’s the same one I wrote about in the most recent missive, only this time there was a lovely sunny day and the whole place was not engulfed in the fog.


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

IndieWeb Carnival: On Ego

Ego is one of those words that’s difficult to parse. I find language to be an imperfect tool in the quest to describe the inner workings of the mind, because in there, things tend to be fuzzy, while words are often sharp, pointing to distinct concepts that are seldom found i...

Look, another AI browser

Yesterday, OpenAI announced Atlas, its AI browser. To the surprise of literally nobody, it’s Chromium with AI slapped on top. Perplexity also has a browser: it’s called Comet, and it also is Chromium with AI slapped on top. Then we have DIA, which is, you guessed it, Chromiu...

10 pointless facts about me

Found on Kev’s blog and originally started by Dave, here are my answers to this fun blog challenge: Do you floss your teeth? Sometimes. I’d say maybe a few times a week? I’m terrible at being consistent, and that includes flossing regularly. Tea, coffee, or water? Coffee in...

A newsletter-related PSA

Quick PSA for those of you out there who are interested in subscribing to either my From the Summit 2.0, the newsletter version of People and Blogs, or simply prefer to get these blog posts delivered via email: all those newsletters require double opt-in. What that means is ...

Five least favourite tech topics

The other day Kevin sent me a preview link of an upcoming post for his Overkill site, and I jokingly replied to him that «Home servers are probably the second least appealing tech topic for me». I then started thinking about what my least favourite tech topics are, and I tho...

On concrete examples

I had some great conversations via email over the past couple of weeks with a bunch of different people, discussing all sorts of things that I’ll for sure end up writing about. Today I wanted to briefly touch on the topic of examples, which was part of the lovely conversatio...

My issue with the two sides

One fairly common concept you’ll inevitably stumble upon if you spend any modicum of time reading discussions on the web is the idea of “two sides”. Some will tell you that the two sides are not the same and one is clearly better than the other, others will argue that not ta...

Safari and iOS 26: PSA and a rant

The new iOS is bad in so many ways that writing a post highlighting them all is quite pointless. By the time I’d be done typing, they’d have likely released iOS 27 (and hopefully fixed most of this nonsense). So I’m not gonna waste time doing that and simply focus on one sin...

On public online behaviour

I’m currently in “digital fasting” mode, trying to consume as little content as possible here on the internet. But I do have to be here for work, and so I still end up reading a few things here and there. Some of that content is sent to me via email by random people (always ...

Making things obvious

Back in February 2024, I published a blog post about my new—at the time—site. One of the things I mentioned in that post was that this site had a guestbook. Quick aside: a guestbook, for those of you who might not know, is something that used to be fairly common on the web ...

New site, kinda

If you’re reading this blog using RSS or via email (when I remember to send the content via email), you likely didn’t notice it. And if you’re reading my blog in the browser but are not a sharp observer, chances are, you also didn’t notice it. A new version of my site is liv...

Scoring books

Over the past couple of years, I've used Literal to keep track of the books I've read and that I’m reading. When you mark a book as completed, Literal, like probably every other site and app of this type, asks for a review, which includes a 1-to-5 star rating. I suck at this...

Digital fatigue

I think I’m starting to feel what I can only describe as digital fatigue. I believe this is the result of a combination of two main factors: I spend most of my time in front of a screen for work, coding sites for clients and friends (and sometimes for myself). My RSS feed h...

RIP my minimal phone setup

As you probably know by now, thanks to the infinite supply of news on the subject, today new OS versions came out for Apple gadgets. Yes, it’s the one with that idiot Liquid Glass. Yes, I hate it. No, I don’t hate it because it’s different from what I was used to before. And...

Sometimes I post not because I have something to get out of my system, but because I have something I want to share. This is one of those occasions. First, Cody has a new pop-up newsletter going called “Trespassing Through Montana”. I’m a big fan of what he does, and I also ...
