I recently lost my dog, Luna. She came with me on hundreds of hikes and trips, always by my side while I was making images. But I'd trade them all for the photographs that truly matter.

Mark Gurman, in his Power On newsletter for Bloomberg over the weekend: Though the Mac software introduced the same Liquid Glass interface seen in iOS 26, the design language hasn’t translated as smoothly to the larger displays and different input methods of desktops and...

I wrote about Malick’s To the Wonder as a contrapuntal composition.

A while back I was asking Claude (privately) if we could have it monitoring the messages posted to an app I'm working on. I wanted it to save them in a certain way, have it watch for messages that begin with //claude and maybe act on them somehow. I mostly just wanted to see...

It is now two years ago that during a day trip E and I had a conversation about my wellbeing in which I broke down in tears and we came to the conclusion there and then that I was burnt out. A good moment to take stock of where I am at. What came before […]

Members of the WordPress community. Monday morning is a good time to check out WordPress News courtesy of FeedLand. You can also subscribe to the list of feeds this site follows, and if you have a WordPress news site, please post the URL here so we can send readers to your blog too. I think there are a lot of would-be bloggers out there that need a slight kick in the pants to get going. I'm happy to provide readers if you provide the ideas. There's a lot of power in WordPress that no one knows about. Let's help other users and developers see that.

It would be great if Beeper supported RSS in and out. It would help encourage other messaging services to do the same, and all of a sudden we'd have lots of easy interop instead of lots of really iffy interop. If they want to do it, I'd help, for free. Just to help things flow better on the messaging web, because we reallllly need help there.

I have to say something about the Knicks, who just blew out the Sixers in a sweep, 4 games to zero. They've never played this well. They are more than a deep team of great athletes, they are highly intelligent people and they're all really working together. Right now, it feels like a sure thing that they'll breeze through the next round and face off OKC or San Antonio in the finals, and that will be something. But I know that's not the right way to look at it. The next series is going to be with a team that feels the title is theirs as much as the Knicks do. I've been with the Knicks through the worst of times that never seemed to end. And now for something completely different.

Leaflet is a nice editor designed to work with Bluesky. But they've been branching out. They now support email and RSS output. I would love to help them make their RSS outstanding. Could we put a small group of devs to work with the Leaflet guys, I would be happy to be part of this. First suggestions, remove unnecessary HTML markup, each reader is going to strip it out anyway, and if a feed looks nice it gives people the sense that the writer cares. Second -- support rssCloud. It's very easy to do and it means readers who support it will give their users instant updates, it won't have to wait for a poll. And third -- add support for source:markdown, so we can all get together on using Markdown as the common way of exchanging moderate size bits of text over the web. If Markdown had been around when we designed RSS 2.0, it would have been part of it.

AOC in an interview nailed everything in one brief answer to a question from the audience. You can watch it here. It was so good and quotable that I recorded it and via a transcript Google and Claude. I've been emailing with Josh Marshall at TPM for the last few weeks, say...

I have some questions about an article claiming that religious persuasion should be deemed a human-rights violation.  

A post from Scripting News, automatically mirrored to a WordPress site, and that flowed via ActivityPub to Mastodon, via a relatively new feature in WordPress. Almost by accident Mastodon supports long text, styling and links -- even though their editor doesn't generate it, if it comes from the outside it will respect the styling.

Below is a post on Mastodon coming from WordPress. Masto's limits aren't enforced, and that's good.

The Knicks continue to astound. Last night, they went up 3-0 against the Sixers in Philadelphia. Game 4 is tomorrow at 3:30PM Eastern. Last night's game was a fantastic contrast with the way the Knicks played in the post-season last year. They had the same starting lineup t...

Just spent a couple of days working with FeedLand in Claude Code. I want to do some work on features, but first, we're looking at performance issues. There had been a longtime problem with categories that didn't have many feeds that were viewed through the news pages. Exampl...
