Very intrigued by Ben Brown’s Shuttlecraft project, but have to resist the temptation to fiddle in order to stick with my pile of other unfinished personal projects.

Lovely feeling to wake up to the first day of date-sensitive presentation code working as it should on its own.

Screensharing on my basement server in Ohio from Belgium to confirm that the power is still on there, and that therefore we still have heat, and that therefore hopefully no pipes have frozen.

Went to the exhibit of Lucie Kamuswekera’s embroidery at the Ambsab social history museum in Gent yesterday. Got to see two of the pieces Sarah bought when she was last in Congo in the flesh for the first time and took a photo.

Sitting in the pithiness of Alan Jacobs’s notion of the past as “our always-available counterculture” all morning.

The updates on Nova keep coming just as I’ve become sick enough of a bug that I’m ready to submit a report myself. Perfect timing.

Covered in frozen mist in Belgium and doing some digital housekeeping for the first time in a long time. Impressed by much DEVONthink has evolved since I last really pushed my understanding of it.

Just noticed I posted over a year ago that I was working on redoing my personal site in Astro. I still am.

Found ‘Feliz Navidad from Freddy Fender’ on vinyl at Twist and Shout in Denver a couple of years ago. It’s now in top holiday season rotation. m.youtube.com/watch

Taking the opportunity of a new laptop to get into using Warp as my terminal and am impressed with a lot of the new interface thinking. Little imperfections stand out strongly in the context of my experience with iTerm which is so rock-solid, but think the creativity may be worth the friction.

Pretty stoked on the new index we added to Public Domain Review today.

Visiting State College, PA this morning, getting ready for the Nittany Valley Half-Marathon, my first organized race in over three years after COVID closures and series of injuries.

I want every single pair of these vintage Patagonia baggies with bootleg logo and pattern embroidery petrifiedgood.org

Have really been enjoying getting into petite-vue for a little progressive enhancement on some client work this weekend. Nice to be able to use the reactivity mental model of Vue without a full app framework.

Stoked on this Kerry Awn illustration we commissioned for Local Memory, which I’ve finally gotten on the homepage.

Heartened by Flickr’s response to the removal of the Internet Archive Book Images collection. Hope that the details all work out well, but the direction of the reaction is definitely encouraging. Well done.

Flickr has deleted over 5 million book scan images associated with the Internet Archive Book Images collection and their related user-contributed metadata. Consider signing an open letter asking that Flickr reconsider its decision.

The always great BBSP theorizes the U.G.H.Z. (Un-Grammable Hang Zone), an aesthetic fixation of mine I have always struggled to articulate. Kafé Kerouac is my favorite local U.G.H.Z. I’m always on the lookout in new towns, but they are harder and harder to find.

If I see a cassette cover with a Bodys Isek Kingelez installation come through my email, you have my attention. If your promo copy then namechecks DJ Screw, I’m in. I had heard a bit of La Roche, but this new one from Nyege Nyege Tapes is revelatory.
