IndieWeb Carnival: Take Two

For this month’s IndieWeb Carnival Nick has picked the topic of do-overs and the more I think about this topic—in the context of going back and doing something differently—the more I can’t find an instance where I’d want to give something a crack a second time. Not because m...

Experimental June: week four

It’s Sunday 29th, which means my experimental June is coming to an end. I’m aware that June ends tomorrow but I think four full weeks is a good timeframe for this type of life experiments so I’m happy to consider it done today. If you’re new to the blog and you’re wondering ...

On complaining

It’s safe to assume that you have, at some point in your life, complained about something or someone. I certainly did, more than once. I used to complain a lot more, actually. But one day I realized that the source of all those annoyances and frustrations was not the world o...

Minimal New Page

A long time ago, back when I was a young developer, happily using Google Chrome as my daily driver, I spent a few hours messing around with Chrome extensions and coded myself an extremely simple extension that replaced the new tab with a minimal clock. That extension has bee...

Experimental June: week three

It’s late on Monday 23rd and I’m typing this weekly recap that I was supposed to write on a Sunday but it’s been a hectic day—today wasn’t much better, autostrade per l’italia loves me—and I was too tired to write it last night so I’m doing it now. Week three has been intere...

Digital chains

The other day while chatting with Kevin I was commenting on the fact that our experimental Junes are going in opposite directions. In his most recent Sunday update, he wrote that But I think the experiment won’t have as big an impact as I expected. While I wrote I’m overj...

On corpses, selfishness, and ownership

A few years ago the government here in Italy decided to switch from old paper ID cards to the new plastic, credit card-style ones. I have no idea if this was EU-mandated—I didn’t bother checking—and I have zero problems with the change. The card itself is not the part that i...

Experimental June: week two

It’s a very warm morning on Sunday the 15th and I just got up from my meditation cushion that I never failed to meet once since I started this experimental June. The return to meditation is going wonderfully and that pleases me greatly. I missed meditation, I know it’s good ...

Experimental June: week one

Non-negotiables

The other day as I was sitting on my meditation cushion after finishing my session, I started thinking about my non-negotiables: things I do that are—or at least should be—part of every day of my life that I am not willing to compromise on. It goes without saying that the o...

On Browsers, AI, and the web

Almost exactly one year ago I wrote a follow-up post to comment on the newly—at the time—released website by the folks over at The Browser Company, a name I still find incredibly hilarious. It was all about their Arc browser, their big ambitions, and how they were going to I...

Experimental June

I did a few random experiments with my life over the years and they were always interesting. Life has this tendency to set itself in some sort of autopilot mode and you slip into weird habits without realizing it. So the idea of forcing myself to do things differently is qui...

The web != the web

I was catching up with some tech news yesterday and while I was listening to a discussion about the latest updates coming from Google and their potential impact on the web I had a sudden realization: when tech reporters say “the web” they don’t mean the web. When these peopl...

Celebrating kindness

When I started working on the new version of blogroll.org, one thing I knew I wanted to do from the get-go was to highlight all the wonderful people who are supporting what I do here in the digital world. And the reason why I wanted to do it was not to make them stand out am...

Your license is a scam

Good morning. Good morning sir! How can I help you? Hello, hi. I was interested in buying one of your cars, the Model A. I really like it and it seems perfect for me. That’s an excellent choice! Model A is a great car, the price starts at 20 thousand, but before I can tell y...

Web Accessibility. Help needed.

This is the current situation: I’ve been working as a freelance web dev for almost 15 years at this point and as a one-man-show it’s goddamn hard to stay on top of everything. Browsers are constantly evolving, specs are constantly evolving, the tools we use—or we’re supposed...

Sharing, helping, connecting

One might think that knowing myself should come naturally to me. After all, I spent my entire life with myself, so I should, in theory, know a thing or two about who I am. And yet one thing I realised recently, since I’m spending more energy trying to understand how my brain...
