Previous: Reviving UserLand Frontier (and friends) When I started working on modernizing Frontier last October, the obvious story would have been “old codebase gets ported to modern hardware.” That’s not wrong per se, but it’s not what actually happened. I had already had multiple conversations with ChatGPT in early/mid-2025 about how a this project might […]

The automatic backups introduced in Micro.blog for Mac earlier this month are working pretty well for me. But I’m going to adjust how many backups are stored from 5 to 3, or maybe configurable, because for blogs with thousands of photos the backup files can get pretty big.

Just some bedtime reading of the appeals court decision from December in Epic vs. Apple. I really hope we’re almost at the end of this mess. It has dragged on way too long.

Global affairs chief Chris Lehane wants to tone down the debate over AI’s societal impacts—and get states to pass laws that won’t derail OpenAI’s meteoric rise.

I retrofitted this blog to be agent-ready, then built cocktail.glass from an empty repo with AI agents as a first-class audience from the first commit. Here's what changes when agent-ready is a design input instead of a renovation: one source of truth, Markdown negotiation, a stateless MCP server, and discovery in every response.

Three firms will pay nearly $1 million for selling “Active Listening” technology that they claimed tapped people’s phones for advertising. The FTC alleges the “tech” was just pricey email lists.

Notes prepared by Claude.ai. In this episode, Dave returns to a theme he's been circling for years: the social web's central failure isn't a lack of features, it's the locked doors. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Spotify, and Amazon build genuinely useful tools, but they'...

It’s great how little you have to think about Paige Bueckers. This isn’t the same as not caring about her. The scads of cheers she gets during player intros, even on the road, are proof that she’s cared about very much. She just happens to be the sort of playe...

Podcast: Wrapping AI in the web.

Just finished No Country for Old Men, the book by Cormac McCarthy. I have seen the movie many times, it's one of those movies that if you're looking for something to watch and you come across it, you might as well go for it because every scene in the movie is a performance. I didn't realize that they used most of McCarthy's dialog, literally -- in the movie. Near the end, Bell, the sheriff tells a story about old age. "There wasnt a whole lot good you could say about old age and he said he knew one thing and I said what is that. And he said it dont last long. I said well, that's pretty cold. And he said it was no colder than what the facts called for." I love truths that hit hard. He's such a great writer. And I love that I can write like all the characters if'n I get a mind to.

In this episode of Uncanny Valley, we unpack the mass layoffs at Meta, big announcements at Google I/O, and the latest backlash against AI.

Water World, created by Seán Doran from imagery captured by a NASA/NOAA weather satellite, is a gorgeous, swirling, painterly portrait of the Earth’s dynamic atmosphere. Doran calls it “a meditative slow gaze at Earth’s atmosphere, revealing the hidden depths of activity in the water-filled skies of planet Earth”. It’s 4K, so put it on the biggest screen you can find and just sit back and watch.

Om Malik with a little late-night reading of the SpaceX prospectus:

The SpaceX IPO is a masterpiece of financial engineering. The prospectus is a perfect blend of reality, sci-fi, and skullduggery.
