I can now share an article directly from my feed reader to my Hypothes.is account, annotated with a few remarks.
One of the things I often do when feed reading is opening some articles up in the browser with the purpose of possibly saving them to Hypothes.is for (later) annotation. You know how it g…

Tracy Durnell (tracydurnell.com)As we in the IndieWeb promote personal websites and encourage more people to write and publish online, and nostalgia for blogs and RSS is high, it’s useful to hone in on what exactly we’re talking about when we say blog.* Because, despite being a form of writing for more than 20 years, blogging …
I’ve developed a GitHub Action for anyone to POSSE their content to Mastodon as easily as possible
Austin Kleon (austinkleon.com)Here is a slide from my friend Bill Keaggy’s TEDx talk, “How to Find Attention, Mindfulness, and Creativity in the Ordinary.” After going through some of his own creative work — I highly recommend his books 50 Sad Chairs and Milk, Eggs, Vodka — and the work of others, Bill suggests a very simple 30-minute workout […]
Wouter Groeneveld (brainbaking.com)I packed my bags and moved from my Pleroma instance chat.brainbaking.com/@wouter to the Mastodon instance dosgame.club/@jefklak. If you’re on the Fediverse and haven’t followed me there, please do, as the move protocol that automatically transfers your followers is not properly implemented in Pl…
I had a look around Twitter the other day. It really is a dumpster fire of people desperate for attention.
Indiekit is the little Node.js server with all the parts needed to publish content to your personal website and share it on social networks.
I have added simple text files to /.well-known/webfinger to both this site and my company website that allow discovery of my existing Mastodon profiles through my site’s and work e-mail addresses. This is just a simple hack, and I should replace it with actual functionality to disclose actors on b…
Peter Rukavina (ruk.ca)When the built-in translation features for iOS were first launched the list of language pairs was limited, to the point where I stopped even trying to use the feature, as Dutch, Swedish, Danish, German weren’t on the list.
I discovered this morning that, although Swedish and Danish are still ab…
Chris Aldrich (boffosocko.com)What do we mean when we say Zettelkasten? There’s a specific set of objects (cards and boxes or their digital equivalents), but there’s also a spectrum of methods or practices which can be split into two broad categories. TL;DR
Historically, Zettelkasten as used to describe both Luhmann’s note…
Before visiting friends in Enschede this afternoon the Man requested a visit to the Rijksmuseum Twente to see a (small) expo on the Futurists, founded by the Italian artist Marinetti early 20th century. I liked the style of the paintings, though the political views of the group were problematic (“we want to glorify war”).

Finishing another draft, and thinking about the time scales.
Whenever I want to give people career advice, I inevitably start saying the things that worked for me.
You have a few options. How much time you got?
Right okay! Robin Sloan is someone of whom we in maya dot land (all of us nibbling on lichen under the bridge here) think highly, and altweb projects are fantastic, so if you haven’t gone and read through his protocol proposal go do that! Little of what I write here will make sense independently o…
De laatste bladzijde: In deze rubriek elk weekeinde een necrologie van iemand die recent is overleden. Graffiti-artiest Miss.Tic was machtskritisch, feministisch en een voorstander van seksuele vrijheid.
The following was originally written by me and published as a chapter in “The iOS App Icon Book”. I am republishing it here on my blog (with slightly modified imagery) for posterity’s sake.
