Amazing photo of astronaut Christina Koch in silhouette, hair floating in zero gravity, looking back at Earth. 🚀

As the Final Four game between Michigan and Arizona wound down on Saturday night, the TBS broadcasting crew said a bunch of demonstrably true and contextually confusing things about Arizona. The Wildcats really had entered the game as hot as any program in college basketball...

In today’s update to Inkwell for Mac, there’s a new window for photos in blog posts. It’s particularly useful for Reading Recap thumbnails too, with a clickable permalink to visit the full post.

Simple, but I’m happy with how this turned out. Toolbar buttons, pinch to zoom, drag to scroll, etc.

TL;DR: Armed with new powers to rein in the worst excesses of mobile's duopolists, antitrust bodies around the world are struggling to find their footing, and an incurious tech press is letting it pass with nary a nod. Browsers are app stores, but that perspective is almost entirely absent from the antitrust conversation.

I’ve got a Custom Post Type in WordPress. It’s called docs because it’s for documentation pages. This is for the CodePen 2.0 Docs. The Classid Docs are just “Pages” in WordPress, and that works fine, but I thought I’d do the correct WordPress thing and make a unique kind of content a Custom Post Type. […]

Donald Trump, sitting president of the United States, on his blog: Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Pra...

A college basketball coach in the middle of a meltdown is extended grace that generally wouldn't be granted to any other adult having a tantrum in public. On the merits, there's nothing much to say on behalf of a grown man who is stamping and fuming and turning a Cran-apple ...

Bad software is a choice you make

I love all the new discourse about WordPress. It was so quiet until this week, now I'm getting a much better view of the landscape. I started developing seriously around WordPress almost three years ago. I've been developing this kind of software since the late 80s if you c...

We've actually been testing bands since the first Apple Watch launched in 2015. From silicone sports straps to leather bands, I've rounded up the best for every occasion.

Electricity rates have gotten so atrocious that this Heatbit wants to offset your costs with bitcoin mining. But the math doesn't add up.

The current console generation may last longer than anyone expects.

Amid mass displacement and collapsing trust in institutions, digital wallets are becoming critical conduits for aid, connecting diaspora donors directly with communities on the ground.

Lise Davidsen is one of the greatest opera singers of our time — a soprano with a voice so rare, critics reach back a century for comparison. This spring, she has been starring in a sold-out new production of Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde” at the Metropolitan Opera. But she’s...

When Syrian government accounts were hijacked in March, the breach looked chaotic. But it revealed something more troubling: a state struggling with the most basic layer of cybersecurity.

If you’re looking for a good watch this weekend, I couldn’t recommend more the documentary Turn Every Page – The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb. The craft of research, writing, and editing is presented in the most beautiful way possible. Around 400,000 words were removed from The Power Broker, which was ultimately published … Continue reading Turn Every Page →

Saturday, April 4, 2026 Sometimes I put test posts on my blog. This is one of those times. Still diggin, amazingly -- in 2026. What makes this post different is that 1. It's a singular item, ie there is no title, and just one paragraph. It's a collection of sentences not pa...

Sponsorships have been selling briskly, of late. Knock on wood. As of yesterday, the next opening on the schedule wasn’t until the very end of July. However, due to some schedule rejiggering, next week is now open. After that, the next opening remains the week starting July 27.

If you’ve got a product or service you think would be of interest to DF’s audience of people obsessed with high quality and good design, get in touch — especially if you can act quick for next week’s opening. I’m also booking sponsorships for Q3 and Q4 2026, and over half of those weeks are already sold.
