Support Bookstores, Not Billionaires

I’ve been looking forward to writing this new diary entry for a while, and it only took me about two years to come back to writing it. Why so long? Plenty of reasons. And they have been piling…

Commented on Improving the SolidOS Frontend

Match My News and Tracking The Web are very similar to each other. Basically, they both allow you to follow content of interest on specific websites. However, they both have their own twist to it.…

I used to love the Cluetrain Manifesto. What was not to love? I was young and rather clueless, and with a rebellious streak. Here come The Beatles, and they said that the ways of the world were…

So, awhile back, I decided to start self hosting my music collection. I’m sure I’ve at least mentioned it somewhere here on the blog. I re-downloaded my entire collection and more beyond…

On June 21, 2026 I switched the site from Jekyll to Astro and rebuilt the theme from scratch. Here's why.

SVG is very cool for displaying graphics on the web but, like any web technology, there's always more we could be doing with it, whether it's fixing bugs and browser inconsistencies, adding new…

Web developers crave cross-browser compatibility, but browser engines don't always implement the same features, or not always to the same degree of quality. This page shows the number of tests (from…

I updated the little lambda that auto-toots when I post so that it will also auto-skeet — this is a test of that functionality!

Let me confess something a little creepy. I have a habit of peeking at other people's dev posts. Not stealing the writing — relax. I run a tiny read-only job that fetches the public pages on dev.to,…

Chrome introduced a new API, window.showDirectoryPicker() that allows the user to grant access to a directory on their computer and allow a website to read/write everything inside.

We’ll get to the asterisk. I run Wirewiki.com , a website to inspect internet infrastructure like domain names. It helps people check (historic) DNS records, DNS delegation, email deliverability…

How to make any docs site agent-friendly by serving raw markdown to AI agents and HTML to humans from the same URL, using HTTP content negotiation.

The last few days, I've come to like Gemini and Gemtext more and more. One of the things that I noticed is that writing in Gemtext rather than Markdown is much more enjoyable to me. I suspect this is…

Able Player 5.0.0 is now available! For the most part, it’s the same as what I announced last month; with a few additional bug fixes: I also updated the Able Player WordPress plugin to version…

Guten Tag! Guten Tag! 👋 Did you check out the new WebKit grid-lanes resources already? Do you "view transition" with match-element ? And have you heard of HTML streaming maybe becoming a thing? Turn…

I wondered about a Pan Am 747 for 40 years. Claude found the exact tail number. Now I log every flight in BlackOps so the answers never scroll away.

I've been reading and watching a lot lately about AI and information and brain rot and everything contained in our weird technofascist shitshow bubble world and I wanted to share some of my favorite…

I find myself going to the MDN page for HTTP status codes regularly enough that I thought a nice little table of the codes could be helpful. I'm sure something like this exists, but after…

There is a funny truth in software engineering: almost nobody reads the docs. We spend hours writing careful comments in our code. We build personal websites. We write plain text files and push them…

A long-time friend and fellow academic nerd is working on her pHd, and had some questions for me. One was “Do you think of relationships that are almost entirely text based as real? Or even…

This blog is a git repo of markdown files. I edit posts locally and push them live with a 440-line Python CLI ( bearblog.py , requests the only dependency). Bear Blog has no public API, so the CLI…

This is where I plant ideas. It’s a little bit like a commonplace book, wiki, biji, memex, digital garden, or public notebook.

After much deliberation, I have made a contact form with Letter bird. If you would like to leave me a message, either to say hi, tell me how my blogging's going or how much you agree/disagree with…

to people unwilling to do the work, is "develop better media literacy" a viable solution?

Earlier today, I opened one of the top links on r/worldnews. Something about Kier Starmer preparing to resign as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom? It’s beside the point for this post. Before I…

Experimentig with publishing from github issues to make my Website more dinamically. Also, thinking to add email publishing aswell.

A simple AI disclosure table that helps cut down the effort on AI based document reviews

I just noticed the posts lately have been few and far apart here - even if i promised myself to write most days as a goal for 2026. The reasons (excuses?) for the slow down are many: loss of interest…

Sent out a new issue of my newsletter

My wife struggled to get on with both bearblog and scribbles, I think that she will get on better with Pure Blog other than getting used to markdown - so here is another Pure Blog project for the…

Over at The Conversation , Dexter—an 11 year old from Las Vegas— asked Who was the first transgender person? The answer , by Ky Merkley PhD and Nick Winters PhD , is well worth a read. Storied Colors…
