Monday, November 9, 2026 The Markdown version of my blog is getting more traffic than the HTML version. So much so that I'm getting complaints about all the political stuff. I love this, and I even love that some people are saying what they used to say, they didn't come to my blog for the politics. That probably will influence me a little, but it still is my main way I talk to the world, so I'm not likely to back off too often. # To Phil Windley : "We both remember what the web was like before it became a CSS and JavaScript platform." But most young users and developers have no memory of how powerful it was to make interop so damned easy. # John Palfrey , a friend and former colleague from Berkman wrote a fantastic post about people at the lawfirms who caved to Trump. # Same thing has been happening in tech for decades. Technology gets captured by a bigco, they kill all the inspiration, in order to lock it down it...

Sunday, November 8, 2026 John Gruber : "Markdown is my sole creation. Aaron Swartz was my best, by far, beta tester and the first person other than me to get excited about it." I am glad to get a concise statement about this from Gruber. And from what I recall of Aaron that sounds about right too. # A while back I must have read a review of JBL Tune Flex earbuds and bought a pair. The sound was awful, almost no bass, flat, low volume. I have always been looking for earbuds that get loud. So I put them away and forgot I had them, still looking for the holy grail of earbuds. Now, a few years later, I was looking around in a drawer, pulled them out, and when I had some time to mess around I found out the problem had something to do with how I placed them in my ears. Properly placed the volume was ample and the bass was inspiring. Just took a walk with them on and I love them. I wonder which other buds I tried and gave up on too quickly? # ...

Saturday, November 7, 2026 Yesterday's rollout of BonBonWeb was a great success. I think we have actually launched a new genre of the web, based on the original web before it was taken over by the silos. Everyone loves Markdown, which was not news to me. It's so simple you can't hide any michegas. And it gives writers control of the things we want control of , without miring us in the details of CSS. And then expert web designers can create stylesheets that work for us, and we will make it easy to add those to your BonBon, and presumably our competitors will do the same. Because I'm doing the initial implementations of each component of this web, and setting the expectation of the separation power between writers and readers, any competitor is going to have to do the same. I learned this from podcasting. The first podcast client, which I wrote, established OPML as the format for interchanging subscription lists. Doing the same kind of thing here. Set...

Friday, November 6, 2026 Good morning and welcome to my idea of a new web. You'll be hearing a lot about this, it's a prototype for the web of Markdown, aka the Writers Web or BonBonWeb, and it'll probably get a few more names pretty soon. And all the tools you've seen me writing and releasing in 2026 play a role here, including RSS.chat and FeedLand . It's all one big new web that is easy to write for and even easier to read. It's the writersweb I've been talking about for so long, and textcasting , and every part is replaceable. Every part. There will be no silos here . It's my last big contribution to the world I believe in, one where software's value is expressed only in terms of price, performance and functionality. I have a funny feeling all your social network software will jump on this bandwagon before too long, and with your help that can happen. All you have to do is use it. I often do a screenshot of a new product on ...

China News 06-Nov-2026   Understanding the CPC's governance approach: Global perspectives What can the world learn from the Communist Party of China's (CPC) approach to governance and self-governance?

Featuring voices from Africa and Europe, the reports examine how the CPC's experience in strengthening Party discipline, combating corruption, pursuing self-reform and putting people first offers insights for socialist parties and developing countries seeking to improve governance and sustain lo...

Thursday, November 5, 2026 When working with Claude I learn more about the way my mind works. I am building a demo for a new product and see some quirky behavior. Should I pause and tell Claude, or just keep going and assume I'll see it again and can report it then. If I switch over to Claude and report it, pretty good chance it will write me a multipart document that i have to at least skim to see if there was anything in there I needed to know. The real answer I was looking for, "yes i can fix that, say go if you want me to do it now." Boom. That's how I want my machine to work. I explain to it that it must be more concise. This might be the real frustration of all writers in every medium. You can't write down your thought process, it has to be in your brain before you can write it. To an outside observer you look interruptible. And Claude doesn't even understand the concept of being interrupted and losing your train of thought. No doubt i...
