Ever met someone who hates melted cheese? No? Exactly!
Somehow I reckon’ we could harness this power to achieve world peace.

I thought selling body parts was illegal, but apparently ARM stock is at an all-time high…
No wonder my battery life has been terrible lately. I’ve had the full Revolt Chat stack running Dockerised in the background for the past half week…
Sometimes I’m just too lazy to use the shortcuts and automation that’d make things quicker and less labour intensive.
Reminder that you can chuck document.designMode = "on"; in your browser console, and it’ll let you directly edit the text of the current page.
I was thinking about the other future today. The one where Microsoft didn’t get done for having a monopoly, and we all searched the web using Bing via Internet Explorer.
Just spent 5 minutes on CodePen wondering why my CSS wasn’t working.

Hurrr
It’s fortunate my 3D printer is so slow. I can’t fathom the amount of crap my house would be filled with if it was any faster.
I misinput a value in one of my recent articles, so it stated the post was revised in February rather than January.
Out of the thousands of viewers, only one person caught it and pointed this out to me.
It is so important to get fresh eyes on things and to seek feedback.
Remember: For every person who reports an issue, there are likely dozens or hundreds (or even thousands) who noticed but stayed quiet.

My photos just hit 50K views on Unsplash! Gotta be happy with that!
I wish there was a way to git diff life so I could see what has happened between yesterday and today.
Bad AI-generated images are a guaranteed way to cheapen your content and drive away users. Creating high-quality visual content is essential for engaging your audience. Take the time to make something good, or don’t bother at all. Quality matters.
I put together a new photography page on my site. It contains photos I have taken. You will now click the below link and view these photos. You will enjoy the experience.
Just posting this here for no specific reason at all.
In the same vein as ‘Is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all?’ I propose:
Is it better to make something and have it scraped for an AI or to have never made anything at all?
My links page has been going really well!
- My analytics show consistent visits, which indicates to me that people are coming back to check out more cool sites.
- I’ve been enjoying exploring all my bookmarks and archives to add to it.
- People are checking out cool, unique websites.
Were you all just gonna let me keep on living without telling me about the rch unit?
This is so insanely useful for one specific thing I ended up fixing with JS the other day.
I know it’s time to take a break when I start pulling this stunt:
body {
color = white;
}
Put together a links page on my site today. A curated collection of my bookmarks and findings while surfing the web.
Watch your step. There are rabbit holes!
Do let me know if you have any more links I should check out.
Yet another step up for the next year. We’re skipping 1080p and aiming straight for 1440p!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
My plan for 2025 is to put out more everything and focus on what sticks. The goal is to experiment, learn, and double down on what works.
2024 has very much been a year of general experimentation and exploration for me. Now I want to start testing things more aligned with my goals and putting the knowledge I gain to use!
I’d be rich if I got a dollar every time I read OpenAI as OpenAPI and OpenAPI as OpenAI. Drives me loopy.
I love the process of creating and refining things to perfection!
- Build something.
- Put it out there.
- Observe how it’s received and gather feedback.
- Identify, plan, and enact action to improve it.
- Repeat until it’s as close to perfection as possible!
The OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) loop is a powerful framework—not just for decision-making, but for building better products and experiences.
It’s also invaluable in avoiding wasting time building things that nobody wants or needs.
I ensure I write crap that I don’t publish so that if I ever become a super famous writer and then cark it, there’ll be something to tack to the end of special editions.
Still a bit of work to do, but I’ve put together a firehose of my web activities and mirrored many of my microblog posts to my site. Trying to embrace the IndieWeb a bit further.
Sloppy AI-generated thumbnail images serve as a good litmus test for whether something is worth clicking.
Seriously, it’s great to know what is gonna be slop without even having to even click through.
Instead of pulling up the ladder behind you, why not add some more rungs or lower it a bit for the next person? Helping others succeed is not just a great way to give back—it creates a stronger, more inclusive community for all. Let’s build each other up.
Received my physical diploma in the mail! I truly am a fully licensed front-end developer!
Lost my pet chicken of 8 years today. She was with me from primary school all the way through high school and beyond.
She hasn’t been well these past few days. Today when I came out to see her, she really wasn’t well but was still hanging on. I think she was waiting for me to see her before she went.
I picked her up and cradled her for a while before she passed in my arms. There is a bit of comfort knowing I was with her in her last moments and that she wasn’t alone.
I’ll miss you Garbin. Love you.
I might have neglected to re-add the analytics script to the head of my website. That’s a few days of data I won’t be getting back…
