  • Study: Pirated Web Video Peaks 12-18 Hours After Broadcast

    Whoa. This must have taken some major investigatory work. Real gumshoe-type investigating. It appears as though TV shows, merely 12 to 18 hours after broadcasting on network television, are up, online, and ready to watch via "video sharing sites". I am not sure how they did their research, but they could have just asked me.…

    Korczak Ziolkowski wakes up early on a bitter cold winter’s morning – the same way he has for several decades – after breakfasting and a few mugs of the hottest coffee his palette can stand, he shoulders his tool belt and trods his way in knee-high snow to the eastern wall of the Crazy Horse…

  • My less than typical day

    In January 2021 I posted my typical day which resulted in some fun people following suit on their own blogs. Lately, my typical day is less than typical. I’ve been on a tear for about 12 months with side projects. This means that my day is jammed. But here is a glimpse… I accomplish an…

  • Making Tuff improvements

    My approach to building Tuff, my static site generator that I began working on last November, was to jump in as quickly as possible by publishing my personal website publicly very early in the development process. Doing so forced me to make rapid improvements and to focus on the most important features. By spending 5am…

  • What I saw somewhat recently #100: March 23, 2023

    This is it. The final WIS link list post. This series of posts has spanned 10 years.

I’m saddened, however, that…

  • Revisiting Simon Collison’s Farewell to Twitter

    Last night I revisited Simon Collison’s post from early December 2022 Farewell, Twitter. I had read it shortly after he published it and while I agreed with what he wrote, it didn’t hit me as hard as it did last night. Simon claims that “others have articulated the situation better”, however, last night I realized…

  • Building Tuff – A static site generator just for me

    Just about a month ago, for some unknown and undoubtedly a sleep deprived reason, I began building my own static site generator (SSG). And I did it entirely wrong. This is that story. A sensible person would have first looked at the available static site generators and tried them first. I didn’t. In fact, I…

    Enjoying a martini and Leon Bridge’s Tiny Desk concert There aren’t enough links in the world to describe the amount of information I’ve been ingesting lately.

  • Matthias Ott on publishing

    Matthias Ott: Longtime readers will recall Stop worrying, hit publish. Ott’s post is a great example of the point he is trying to make. In the post he is simply relaying a story he heard on a podcast. Of what value could that be? By sharing how that story moved him, he moved several others.…

  • My social media bacta tank is working

    For context, you may want to read my post from early January I am quitting social media. There were two main actions I took when I decided to pull the plug on social media. First, I unsubscribed from all accounts in every platform. RSS feeds deleted. Twitter follows razed. Instagram follows flushed. YouTube subscriptions obliterated.…

  • I am quitting social media

    Mostly. And, for a year. Or more. What started out as a routine flushing of my social media accounts, something I’ve done on more than one occasion in the past, has now turned into a strong desire to leave social media behind for good. And so I’m doing just that. My main reasons for waiting…
