A poem written for Red Square, which I made for HTML Day 2026.

Movie on Faust IndieWeb Movie Club Man is good: His spirit strives for truth! Erzengel Let’s strive this August by watching Faust (1926), directed by F.W. Murnau. It is a silent black-and-white supernatural horror. If you’ve never seen a silent film before or don’t care much for them, this is a memorable movie that will […]

I know, it's not fair to call a note "banana cake- rant" and not mention "banana cake" once. Might I remind you, "Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not." — Oscar Wilde.

I have been working on a new post type for The Commonplace Post, featuring HUGE header text that I want to always: fit across the page and flow on one line. Considering Fit Text, a typography option in WordPress Gutenberg. It seemed reasonable. According to the blurb under the setting, “The text will resize to […]

Okay. I want to call someone out, for being an a-hole. Their writing is impeccable, funny matter-of-fact. But it’s easy to be contrarian when you’re nobody online, hiding behind a mask. It’s the path of least resistance from how I see it. I hate how disgustingly good the writing is. It pisses me off.

You can proofread a million times, but the moment you hit publish, every single error shows it’s rear.

It’s the middle of the morning, the first day after a full moon, my chest tightening–I’m holding my breath again. This self-imposed deadline is reaching a mass-critical which only means I care. “Righter writes writing right,” I read it back, “Do I mean ‘writer’?” The words are dancing at this point as the congas in […]

No singularity. These are some humans who cross my mind.

IndieWebCamp Nuremberg 2026, Create Day. I had a chance to launch sylLabel notebook and migrate my magic 8-ball to its own page. sylLabel Local storage, no server/tracking, one .html file. A quick place to write, draft poetry-prose, prosetry on the go for appealing screen-captures and what-not. Years ago, I hunted for a syllable counter because […]

My interest in upvotes peaked while reading small cypress’ blog. So, I went searching: “add upvote indieweb” using Startpage, IndieWeb’s BurgeonLab.com was listed top five. Naty S’ guide, specific for Hugo, “How to Add … Upvote/Like Button…” also goes into detail on the inner workings of iine, the privacy-conscious anonymous counter button. I altered the […]

I've seen dithering everywhere for a while now, I quite like the look!

Skin held firm, against flesh, surrounding rigid bones. In active step, these hands are not empty, steady even in darkness. In stride and embrace, the sun always rises. Buffering.. Out in the wilderness, echoes, present even in cities-- there! S--sl-slithering away! It's an act- of many- to cement- a disconnect- and mask the one mirror […]

from the breeze against my skin

panem et circenses

there’s a gnawing, familiar feeling bubbling inside of me. when the weather changes,–I feel like a bunny rabbit in a somewhat frenzy. unable to sleep, just sort of stirring around. for almost 7-ish days, what feels like a life-time, every year–like clockwork, it rains non-stop without letting up. A gift and curse it isto sense […]

Origami is three-dimensional paper mechanics

We don't have forever, and "we all must meet our moment of truth".

I believe this how the web “just” works when handling input fields: So, here’s the deal when I clicked a form input field my iPhone (in Safari) would zoom in on the page. It was driving me insane. Not sure where I stumbled on the “fix” or if I can even call it that, but […]

I know too well, and in knowing, I know not at all.

virtues of a programmer; Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris, according to Larry Wall

I was and still am obsessed with words. They can sting and brighten, soothe and choke in the same instance. The same word said in a different tone can feel like the world is crushing under someone’s feet, at sea; A parting that divides context and literacy. As a kid, around 5th grade, I couldn’t […]

Fac aut noli facere; conatus non est.

I am sitting in a room, all the walls are mirrors, & the only perception left to extinguish is mine.

Active, an experiment underway. I am considering that everything, at most is an experiment and so scientific procedures are engrained. I am not in control of anything, maybe besides my attitude. The world is not pushing and pulling me along the tides of daily life–I am an active participant. Variables are present and a hypothesis […]

A star ☆ is an emotional circle ◯ On hiatus, from Meta, for a little bit. I’d like to start writing again with my hands–not typing. It’s not the same. Scratched out words, misspellings, the entire experience of journal stacks taking up space. The irony of sharing this, here — What is a friend, the […]

I haven’t been sleeping well for a couple weeks now.

I don’t want to create tech-debt. In the same vain, installing one plugin to do one thing that building out infrastructure for this instance is a time sink. After spending a few hours writing PHP to add a previous post into a another post; I wanted to add a front-end component to allow easier selection […]

Pain- is seeking clarity. in a hangnail begging attention. the cold air drifting about. a lesson learned. of the past. again.

“dubito, ergo sum, vel, quod idem est, cogito, ergo sum” like curiosity killed the cat there’s always more to the narrative
