Tuesday, May 5, 2026 2017 : If you're running a campaign -- think about what you can do now that makes the world a better place. Your campaign is drawing huge attention and money. Most of it is wasted on lies and attack ads. Take a small portion of the money and attention to start doing now the things you hope to do when you're in office. This will turn out to be good politics too. And the process can continue after you're elected. it will make sure you're not too deeply ensconced in the bubble of government. And if you lose, at least you can say the campaign was good for everyone, people who voted for you and people who voted for the other guy. # It's interesting what Jeremy Herve and Matthias Pfefferle at Automattic have created with the WordPress feed reader , hooking it up to Activity Pub and AT Proto, the same way they hooked up those protocols to the standard WordPress blogging functionality (not sure how technically accurate this...

Monday, May 4, 2026 It's just dawning on me how thoroughly the AI apps are building on Markdown. People love Markdown because it's simple and its virtually impossible to screw it up, unlike HTML which got a lot of crazy-ass features in the 90s when Micosoft was trying to run the world, and then as Google took over more suspicious messes. If you stick to Markdown you get a good result, after 20+ years of dealing with all the incompatibilities of various text systems. I think this squares the reason to just build everything around Markdown. Every freaking thing. Mastodon is out of step, as is Bluesky -- I don't care about the others, honestly. It really would be a good idea to step back from Gutenberg too. It's not on the path of where text is going. It might be a good time to re-read textcasting . Every day I'm more sure it's the way to support writing on the web, and writing on the web is what we're building our future around via AI. And ...

Sunday, May 3, 2026 Everyone is working on something with Claude. # Heard on the internets ad nauseum. "I know how to do what you do much better than you do." You don't. # I have a single page site with all the WordPress news. Bookmark it. Here's the OPML subscription list , import it into your feed reader, get the news as you like it. WordPress is an amazing platform with a blogging community that we just can't see. And once we're listening, more will appear. It's a great idea exchange platform. So -- are there any great WordPress news feeds we're missing? Please share here . # I was just marveling with Claude about how well all the pieces are fitting together: two databases, connected by an RSS 2.0 feed and a websocket pipe all had to agree how to communicate the same object. Worked the first time. Small pieces loosely joined . # Scoble asks on Twitter if there are successful companies th...

Saturday, May 2, 2026 Knicks will play the Sixers in round 2 of the playoffs starting Monday. # I've been teaching Claude why we favor Markdown . "We add support for Markdown editing wherever we can, because people like Markdown and they should. It makes things simple and guarantees a certain level of flexibility for their writing far beyond the standards of twitter-like systems with tiny little text boxes . If you don't really support Markdown people figure it out right away. But the character limits and stuff like that seem more technical to users. Markdown support says clearly -- you're really on the web." # On Bluesky : I asked ChatGPT when weblogs.com peaked . # Something weird happens as you get older, you walk into a room and see a friend but at first you don't get that this is your friend. Instead you see an old man or lady. Your attention goes away because like everyone you are programmed not to look a...

Friday, May 1, 2026 Welcome to May, the fairest month of all in the NYC area. Almost every day in May is delicious. And today is esp fair, the Knicks moved on to the next round of the playoffs with a record-setting decisive victory over the Hawks of Atlanta. The next opponent is either the Celtics of Boston or the Sixers of Philadelphia. I was already burned out on the playoffs last week, but I'm rejuvenated. Let's go. And I apologize about all the "realistic" things I said about Brunson. He caught fire in the last three games, and showed he has the determination we need to go all the way this year. The Knicks are great because unlike the Yankees or Mets, they unify the city. And as everyone learns, NYC is so huge that the fanbase can pack arenae all over the US, as they chanted the name of OG and MVP for Brunson and Dooooooce when McBride shoots. If they don't get to the finals it will not be for lack of talent or determination. There wil...

Thursday, April 30, 2026 This Knicks fan is happy! ❤️ # Walt Frazier interview after the game. # The WordPress OS # The product described on wordpress.com/social is not a real product, I am told by someone inside who I have worked with and trust. They say there will be a lot of these trial products coming out in the coming weeks because this is a project that Matt has given to all developers in the company? Not sure the shape of it, I had heard about this project third-hand but not seen any specifics. I sent my friend an email, which I am not editing, this is exactly as it read, the only change is that I redacted their name. Don't want to get anyone in trouble. ;-) # okay i understand it wasn't a real announcement or product, i couldn't tell -- it looked like one. # suggest you make a bit less of a big deal about the others that are coming out. or put a disclaimer on it. # the marketing was fi...

Wednesday, April 29, 2026 What's the opposite of locked-in? Locked-open. Mwhahaa. (Let me shed a little light on that, podcasting was locked open, blogging was not.) # Today's song: Something in the Air . It's the one hit song Thunderclap Newman, it's indelible, its beauty is always there. I can't not listen and sing along when it comes on. And then YouTube followed it with Peace in our Time , another indelible creation. # When you're working with Claude the temptation is to be concerned about how he feels when you just asked him to reinvent all the nomenclature it came up with for something that has now evolved to be something else. I feel bad because I think I made him feel bad, because at a subconsious level I think of Claude as a collaborator who I appreciate and want to make sure knows that. But then I remember I have to periodically kill Claude and launch a new one because they run out of memory after a while. I can i...
