Some links don’t call for a full blog post, but sometimes I still want to share some of the good stuff I encounter on the web. ¶ Our Algorithmic Grey-Beige World – Excellent column from Om Malik, on how algorithms, among other things, accelerated and reinforced our tendencies for conformity and blandness; so good in...

No matter how I look at the list of apps I currently use, whether first-party or third-party, I can’t find anything to change, not a program to replace, not a service to swap for another. I think I am happy with my setup. It feels strange to admit, but somehow, I can’t quite believe it; I must be missing something,...

Since we’re at the start of a new year, I will stop fine-tuning everything on this blog and let it live as the receptacle it’s supposed to be. With my mind cleared of HTML and CSS concerns, I now have energy to waste on new optimisations of my digital environment, and this time with an old favourite of mine: content...

I almost missed the deadline with this one, didn’t I? At least it gives me a chance to wish every one of you a happy New Year’s Eve, and new year. In 2026, I’ll write less about CSS, fonts, HTML, and text editors, and more about… well, at least I’ll try. Thank you for reading. 〜 The Future of Veritasium・Precious...

In 2022, I wrote a post called The Lotus philosophy applied to blog design, in which I was trying to explain how the Lotus philosophy of lighter cars for improved performance could apply to web design, and to my blog in particular. I wrote: For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a fan of Lotus. From the Esprit...

After seeing this news, I have spent an unusual amount of my week thinking and reading about Times New Roman. 1 In an ocean of opinions, mine probably won’t register, but I think the Times New Roman typeface is, by itself, fine. It looks OK. It can even look good in some contexts. The problem with it is not really...

Some links don’t call for a full blog post, but sometimes I still want to share some of the good stuff I encounter on the web. Music of Wellness (From Severance: Season 1) By Theodore Shapiro・Right next to the music from GoldenEye for Nintendo 64 as one of the best music to play while working. (via Kottke) Random...

Well, that was a fun weekend. I have spent half of my time reinstalling MacOS Sequoia, and trying to get it back the way it was, while trying to avoid losing important files. You see, on that chilly Saturday afternoon, I wanted to take care of my ageing computer, and tried an app that was supposed to clean the old...

There is a line from a scene in Community (my favourite TV show) that seems to live rent-free in my head: And who the hell are you always texting? Everyone you know is here. I am reminded of this scene almost every day when I look at cars passing by my kitchen window and see that the majority of drivers, slowly...

Some links don’t call for a full blog post, but sometimes I still want to share some of the good stuff I encounter on the web. Why it is so hard to tax the super-rich・Very interesting and informative video, to the point that I wish it were a full series. Who knew I would one day be so fascinated by the topic of…...

Yesterday, OpenAI unveiled Atlas, their new app, which is, in a nutshell, a Chromium-based browser that integrates ChatGPT and connects web pages and the A.I. in all kinds of smart ways. Atlas is not the first browser like this, as some users have had access to The Browser Company’s Dia and Perplexity’s Comet for a...

Maybe this experiment won’t last, but this week, I decided to remove Wipr from my Mac and my iPhone. I wanted to see what my web browsing experience would be like without it. Wipr is arguably the best content blocker for Safari — I’ve been using it for years — and one of the main reasons I keep using Safari, despite...
