May 5, 2026 Link Bulldozer (best name worst name?), my very simple but rickety PHP script I've used for years to help me move images into yyyy/mm/dd directories based on their creation date, was just updated significantly to be much more reliable and also work very well with…
May 5, 2026 Note Big spike of traffic to my post about making a goal to get bored more often. Boredom is more important than ever.
Apr 30, 2026 Note Highly recommend Fat Gold co-owned by Robin Sloan. Delicious. And the wee guide that comes along with some products is 👌 A few tins of Fat Gold with the "How to use it up" guide
Apr 27, 2026 Note Last week was a big week for agents. I wrote about the agentweb on Tuesday. To compete with Anthropic's managed agents service (which I've used a fair amount at this point and it is quite good) OpenAI released Workspace agents to a few customer…
Mar 26, 2026 Note Small detail in Signboard… as you drag a card it begins to slightly tilt in the direction that you're dragging. Makes me happy. Signboard 1.1.0 is coming tomorrow and it will include curated color themes (so aesthetic) and importing from both Trello and Obsidian….
Mar 24, 2026 Note Signboard has had a hidden secret from the beginning, you can import data from Trello. Starting in 1.1.0, which will ship this Friday, that feature will no longer be hidden. Oh, and you'll also be able to import from Obsidian and its leading community…

Mar 17, 2026 Note We released Hubbub Pro 2.29.0 today. We acquired this WordPress plugin just over 2 years ago and we've added tons of features and improvements that are helping publishers grow their websites, their mailing lists, and ultimately their revenue. Still so much more to do.
Mar 16, 2026 Snap Back in February I bought a four-wheeler and I've been having a lot of fun putting in some miles, adding accessories, and being outdoors. It is a 2026 Polaris Sportsman. A great way to end winter. It affords me to get to locations to…

Feb 2, 2026 Note Apple should acquire Bitrig before someone else does. Still more work to be done there to make creating apps approachable for "anyone”… but Bitrig is remarkably fast at creating apps for Apple OSes. The more complex parts of the process are still on the…
Jan 21, 2026 Snap Nearly a dozen of the NerdPress team recently enjoyed a beautiful week in downtown Los Angeles sponsoring Tastemaker Conference. We met with old and new customers, enjoyed good food, pet some puppies, gazed upon the cosmos at Griffith Observatory, took a tour of LA's…
Dec 30, 2025 Note I'm happy to see the younger generation of programmers joining us older folks in experiencing imposter syndrome and constantly feeling of being behind. It persists. It never goes away. You're likely doing fine, and likely not behind. If you don't feel these feelings you…
Dec 24, 2025 Note Clear your calendar, pour a favorite beverage, and immerse yourself into the year in music with reports from Simon Collison and Jon Hicks. Fantastic every year.
Dec 18, 2025 Note Comments from Mozilla's new CEO have brought up the topic of ad blocking. With some going so far as to switch their browser. In 2023 I wrote about why I do not block ads but I do block ad tracking as best as I…
Dec 17, 2025 Note Every now and then YouTube will suggest a film photography related video from years and years ago. I'll watch it and think, hey, YouTube, why didn't you suggest this sooner?
Dec 1, 2025 Note I don't know if I can directly tie this to uninstalling social network apps from my phone… but I can say that I had a thoroughly enjoyable and productive offline weekend.
Nov 25, 2025 Note I've uninstalled all social network apps from my phone; including Ivory for Mastodon. I'm really trying to force myself into boredom. To allow my mind to wander. And force-feeding myself information (even good, high quality information) is stifling my mind's ability to wander.
Nov 11, 2025 Snap A quick business trip to Boston with the NerdPress team. We shared some excellent meals (particularly at Sarma). I had very little free time but I did manage to saunter over to the Leica store (just before the gallery exhibition of the work of…
Oct 29, 2025 Note If you're reading this in RSS or on my website, it means that it is being statically delivered yet again. I'm so happy about this.
Oct 23, 2025 Note Spending time, slow time, meaningful time… looking through Paris Photo-Aperature 2025 PhotoBook Awards Shortlist. Added to Unmark (of course) so that I can spend several comfy chair, cross legged sessions doing so.
Oct 21, 2025 Note Giving Obsidian a try again for two reasons; file over app (or database) and I want my notes to be more cross platform to use on Linux machines. Based on what I'm seeing from Apple, I'm starting to see a future (albeit distant) where…
Oct 8, 2025 Note Just released Signboard 0.4.0 that adds due dates to cards and lays the foundation for labels and other card metadata. I'm so happy to have due dates since Signboard is now my daily driver. The next build will be a code refactor and bug…
