The West Berkeley warehouse has been the go-to place for second-hand furniture and other used items since 1978.

It’s our job to make the web a more attractive environment than AT Proto. We can deliver all the benefits they tout, without the huge transition involved in converting to their world. It would be like porting from Mac to Windows in the 90s, something we did at UserLand, and net-net probably wasn’t worth it, […]

I am juggling two Frontiers now, one the last release of the OPML editor from 2014, and the other the in-development version codenamed Atlantis that runs in Electron and thus is built on JavaScript and Chrome. Took me a while to get over the confusion, because Frontier is actually a product that contains other products […]

Manton wants to know why Marc Benioff chose the name Claudeforce for his brand-merge of Salesforce and Claude. My two cents. Claude is a great name. I think that’s ultimately what he bought. His customers just want to be able to check the box – we’re using AI. Boss is happy. When I was coming […]

…Will never work. I’m not saying that with Musk money, one can’t blight the sky with computer hardware, I’m sure he can. I’m not even saying that humanity can’t decide to put a bunch of GPUs in racks and fire them at the sky, we can, if is what we’re determined to do. I’m saying […]

Jackie Llanos and Jenna Monnin, reporting for NOTUS: President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order meant to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America,” taking his apparent jab at Canada one step further as a trade war between the two countries escalates. The pres...

Manton wants to know why Marc Benioff chose the name Claudeforce for his brand-merge of Salesforce and Claude. My two cents. Claude is a great name. I think that’s ultimately what he bought. His customers just want to be able to check the box – we’re using AI. Boss is happy. When I was coming up as a young dude in tech, the old saying was “No one ever got fired for buying IBM.” Today, in 2026, it’s Claude in place of IBM. My father worked in marketing at IBM in Armonk, so I heard a lot about their strategies that meant the IBM brand would be kicking ass forever. All things must pass. But in the early days of the PC industry, IBM sure had the power. Kind of like the US going to war with Iran in 2026. In the end IBM wanted to get rid of Microsoft, but Billg had the last laugh.

@dave I use Codex instead of Claude so maybe it looks weirder to me. As you said, things change.

The social media company’s $17.1 billion and promise to change are big, but lawmakers and advocates want more.

How a front for fossil fuel is using affordability fears, former Democratic officials, and dubious polling to turn establishment Democrats against the climate left.

Plus, would cameras in the courtroom boost public trust?

NEW: We obtained recordings of 160+ emergency calls made from or about an immigration detention center where three people died within six weeks.

“They will not give them medical treatment,” one caller said, seeking help for a detainee with kidney stones.

The FDA has upgraded a recall of guacamole to the highest risk level, indicating a reasonable chance of "serious adverse health consequences or death" from salmonella contamination.

If you’re a fan of the web, you probably want to know that voting is now open for that lovely initiative that is the Tiny Awards, running for the 4th consecutive year.

I got asked to be a judge this time around, and my votes helped shape the shortlist of candidate that is currently up on the site and I was pleased to see that two of the five sites I picked are part of the final group.

Picking five from the list of submissions was a lot of fun. There were so many interesting websites submitted, and it makes me happy to see that the quirky web is still thriving.

Go cast your vote! You have time till September 25th.

I thought it was a dead pixel, but there’s actually a tiny chip in the glass of my MacBook Pro screen. Annoying in the nitpicky, small life problems kind of way. Really want to keep this machine another couple years.

Got notice from Linode that 8 of my servers need to rebooted in the next month. A couple of them have 2-year uptime! There won’t be downtime except for one of the servers, might be a short blip, which I’ll schedule ahead of time.

A new $40 million park replacing Embarcadero Plaza will honor the former mayor, whose push to tear down an earthquake-damaged freeway opened the waterfront to the public.
