Even peripheral attention is finite, and you would have been forgiven, on or about the morning of July 9, for tucking away the AL Central in your mental "pay no mind" file. On that date, the Detroit Tigers were incandescent and had carved out a seemingly intractable lead in ...

Last night I learned about headless WordPress installations from a tweet by Matt Mullenweg. I wrote a blog post on my WP site with what I've learned and the questions I still have. It's actually easier for me to write posts on that site when all I have is my iPad. I do all m...

WIRED went to Brazil for YouTube’s first live NFL broadcast. It was helmed by the platform’s biggest influencers as the league expands its quest for global domination.

This month, The Times released a list of the 50 best restaurants in America. The Food desk’s reporters, critics and editors crisscrossed the country from Portland, Ore., to Deer Isle, Maine, to scout places formal and casual, big and small, experimental and classic. Their su...

Joshua Rothman writing at The New Yorker about living one day at a time, without strict to-do lists:

If you can start a day by asking what you feel like doing, and end it by asking what, in the end, you felt like doing and were able to do, then perhaps you can more easily experience that day as a wave to which you respond.

When my father passed unexpectedly, I was despondent. One thing I remember was the Amazon lovebomb I got from my high school girlfriend Sunaina Sondhi, five books to help me deal with the pain. Even a decade after we dated, books were her love language; in fact, she had given me my very first book … Continue reading Books on Grieving →

Looking at Bluesky, for a moment my brain stopped working and I read the time “40m” as “40 months”.

I’ve never liked relative dates, so in Micro.blog for recent posts we show the time alone. There is a sort of stay engaged urgency to “5 minutes ago”. But it’s okay if nothing important just happened.

We’ll ship the initial support in Micro.blog for displaying Mastodon quote posts on Monday. I’m essentially converting the quotes to Quotebacks, because Quotebacks are already used within Micro.blog for the “embed” link. Still would like to do more with these in the future.

My tip for fediverse devs trying to implement FEP-044f: first memorize who Alice and Bob are and what they’re posting. 🙂 Makes it easier to follow everything else. I’m done coding the basics, so now get to see how it interacts with real servers.

Forget everything you think you know about decaf.

Nine single origins. Six signature blends. Four Mizudashi cold brews. All micro-lot and top-rated coffees shipped to you within 24 hours of roasting. No shortcuts. No crash. This is coffee at its most refined, just without the caffeine.

20% off for DF readers with code “DF” at dekaf.com.

We’re betting you’ll never look at decaf the same way again. But that’s kind of the point.

Apple’s iPad Mini sports a new CPU and better cameras, and you’ll save a few bucks.

Now that Mastodon 4.5 is live on mastodon.social, I can resume work on receiving quote posts from the fediverse, i.e. FEP-044f. This spec is very complicated. Feeling some urgency to finish the implementation before I forget how it all works.

Busy day yesterday juggling lots of different things. This morning I get to try to catch up. Coffee at Medici in the Domain. ☕️

It’s hard to age gracefully. Social isolation, physical immobility, mental decline — these are all problems that most people struggle with as they get older. But one group of people prove that it’s possible to thrive into your 80s and 90s. Researchers call them “super agers....

In ways older people handle change better than younger ones, because we know change is here, every freaking day, and we know in a few years, at most, really big change is coming. So the attitude of the older person is often what the fuck, let's go. I'm not kidding. Maybe later in life I will get more conservative, it could happen.

They should make a ChatGPT that two or more people can chat in. I guess that's what Twitter is doing.
