Audience of one

Messages don’t go anywhere aside from into my ears. Think of it as a very personal social media post with an audience of one.

What a delightful idea this is by Lucy. I love this type of simple projects that are just ways to facilitate human connections.

The cost of doing the right thing

I spent almost the entirety of my adult life creating content on—and for—the web. This is both professionally, as a freelance web developer for the past 14 years, and recreationally with countless side projects that have pretty much all failed in one way or another. The only...

Ephemeral content

I’m currently very much enjoying Cody’s “Alone Atop Mt. Fuji” pop-up newsletter. There’s something about this type of content that’s appealing to my brain. And I’m not talking about the fact that it’s a newsletter or the fact that I enjoy Cody’s writing and pictures. I’m tal...

Confidently incorrect

You can have a unique website that no one visits. Or you can have a "basic" blog that actually gets traffic. Which sounds more professional to you? I love a false dichotomy to support a stupid argument. How about neither of the two? Also, what if having a unique website is...

Context

There’s a tweet I read a few weeks ago—and yes I call tweet everything that’s posted on microblogging platforms, don’t care if it’s Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky etc—that I can’t stop thinking about: some of you couldn't last five seconds in pdx. trans people are so normalized...

Identity

I, like you, am many things. The person I currently am is the product of a multitude of factors: my environment, my parents, the culture around me, the books I read, the music I listened to, the experiences I lived through, and so many other things. No other person is the re...

Sharing “Unplatform”

If I was on social media I’d probably post this link there but I am not and so I’m posting it here. Ajazz has put together a nice resource called “Unplatform” which is, in their words, an interactive guidebook, online library, and research journal intended to help you escape social media and join the indie web. As you know, I’m a big fan of owning your own space and so I love to see this type of projects.

A better list of blog platforms

After more than a year I finally found a moment to sort out my list of blog platforms and I coded a proper table. The previous text list wasn’t exactly ideal. If you know a platform that’s missing please do let me know. I’d love for this list to be as comprehensive as possible.

Tiny corners

The more I look around the web the more I’m convinced we should all treasure our own tiny corners of the web. My site is precious. Precious for me. It is mine to do what I want. I can build it, I can destroy it, I can shape it, I can let it rot. I can change it or let it sta...

Modern discourse

Rebecca has articulated this incredibly well and I also enjoyed Jatan’s addendum. There seems to be no longer a space for thoughtfulness, for true comprehension in the public online space. We’re all too happy to mock, to ridicule, to attack, to insult and in the process, we’...

Awful people are everywhere

To take a break from the 4000 client projects I’m coding all at once I just spent a few minutes reading through some good old internet drama that I’m not going to link here because it’s not worth sharing (even though I admit I had quite a blast going through it). I try to st...

Ugh, I’ll have to make myself a portfolio again

Read.cv is shutting down. That’s a bummer because it was a nice site and also allowed me to not have a portfolio, something I really don’t want to maintain these days. The site is shutting down officially on May 16th so I guess I have a few months to design and code myself a new portfolio again.

It’s funny how I’ve been doing this job for almost 15 years and for the vast majority of that time I never had a proper portfolio. But who knows, maybe this is gonna be an opportunity to design and code something fun.

Photography

Even though I’m not a photographer I always enjoyed the act of capturing moments using a camera. These days my photos live primarily here on the blog—they even have a dedicated RSS feed—but also on my separate photos archive. I’m very casual when it comes to taking pictures,...

Shenanigans

We all know that corporations do weird shit. In their never-ending quest to maximise profits, they’re happy to exploit us and try all sorts of wacky shenanigans. We’re all aware of this. We all know that they try to use all the weaknesses of our monkey brains against us. And...

Short Long Form

I was catching up with some tech news earlier today and I saw the news that Instagram now allows videos up to 3 minutes long. The news is not particularly relevant to me considering I don’t use IG nor particularly interesting because, frankly, who gives a shit. The thing I f...

The internet is now five websites

“ The internet is now five websites owned by three people and all of them are awful” they said on yet another social media platform where they posted more than a thousand times already and it’s doomed to become the sixth websites.

This is part two of an ongoing series apparently.
