Daughters of Sparta by Claire Heywood
Towards the end of 2025, I wrote:
I think I might change things up in 2026. Instead of waiting until the end of the year to write all the little reviews at once, I think I should write a review as soon as I finish a book. Instead of holding onto my reckons for months, I ...

You Can Just Say No to the Data - Jim Nielsen’s Blog
Appealing to data as the ultimate authority — especially when fueled by engineered desire — isn’t neutrality, it’s an abdication of responsibility.
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Some neat CSS from Tess that’s a great example of progressive enhancement; these book covers look good in all browsers, but they look even better in some.
Try text scaling support in Chrome Canary - Josh Tumath

699: Jeremy Keith on Web Day Out – ShopTalk
This episode of the Shop Talk Show is the dictionary definition of “rambling” but I had a lot of fun rambling with Chris and Dave!
Backseat Software – Mike Swanson’s Blog
People use “enshittification” to describe platform decay. What I’m describing here is one of the mechanisms that makes that decay feel personal. It’s the constant conversion of your attention into a KPI.
39C3 - Persist, resist, stitch - YouTube
A fascinating talk looking at the history of the intersection of knitting and stitching with wartime cryptography and resistance.

I’m sick. I think it‘s manflu. Symptoms include aches, pains, pouts, and petulance. Please send pics/videos of your dogs and cats to cheer me up.

Trad travels
For the past few years, I’ve been taking a trip to Spain at the end of September for the Cáceres Irish Fleadh. Last year I convinced my friends Liam and Monica to come along and they had a great time.
Like me, Liam just loves playing in sessions. Also like me, Liam likes to...

The datalist element on iOS 26
The datalist element is all fucked up on iOS. Again.
I haven’t “upgraded” my iPhone to iOS 26 and I have no plans to. The whole Liquid Glass thing is literally offputting. So I wouldn’t have known about the latest regression in Safari if a friend hadn’t texted me about the ...

A bit has been flipped on Google Search.
Previously, the Googlebot would index any web page it came across, unless a robots.txt file said otherwise.
Now, a robots.txt file is required in order for the Googlebot to index a website.
This puzzles me. Until now, Google was al...

Stop me if this sounds familiar to you…
There’s a conference you heard about it. It sounded really good but you never got ’round to getting a ticket. You were too busy thinking about work stuff. It was just one of those things that remained in the idle thought stage.

Toward the end of 2021, I wrote about working a four-day week. It really suited me. So much so that I’ve gone one further. For the past year or so I’ve been working a three-day week.
I work on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. From Friday to Monday, my days are my own.
