Monday, March 2, 2026 Very happy to welcome my old friend, John Palfrey , back to the web. His first new piece is about his experience at the AI Action Summit in February, in Delhi. I added his feed to my blogroll on scripting.com. He was executive director at Berkman when I was there in the early 00s, now heads up the MacArthur Foundations. It feels like the old band is getting back together. ;-) # I tuned into the Fediforum # I like the way they organized today's Fediforum conference . (They call it an unconference. I use the term to mean something very different, and we used it first at BloggerCon .) # They asked for "position papers," and chose a set of them to be presented. # Inbetween, they had a set of virtual tables where six people could join and have a conversation. # It wasn't boring. And that's the first requirement for a conference. # Some of my takeaways from the meetup. # Getting more peop...

Sunday, March 1, 2026 If you followed me on Twitter , please follow me on Bluesky or Mastodon . As far as I'm concerned Twitter is gone. Not because I'm religious about this stuff, but my account got hijacked and I can't get it back, so let's close that chapter. It was a great innovative product that also held back progress on the web for 20 years, and it made some people I knew a long time ago fabulously rich, and it would have been nice of them to not do this to us, but what the f, it is what it is. One more thing, guys -- pay your taxes. # A bit of general advice about using ChatGPT et al, never let it rush you. You do the thinking, it does the stuff you ask it to do. If you're not careful it'll quickly start giving you orders. # opmlProjectEditor format # Some time in 2013 I started editing all my JavaScript projects in the Frontier outliner, and in doing so I designed a format that could contain a whole project. And it w...

Saturday, February 28, 2026 Podcast: Why men hate the Dems . I tell my perspective of MeToo, and how that imho created enough anti-Dem energy to push Trump over the top. Polls won't tell you how the Dems got the rep of being the party run by women to cancel men, but I'm sure if we could cure that somehow, we could do everything we need to do to get American democracy working again. I did this in response to a Frum podcast where he and his guest conclude that the young folks are making a big mistake, they don't want the same old bullshit people coming back into power. Frum and Miller thought that the young men don't want was democracy, foolishly (I would agree) but there is real anger there, I know about it because I have it too. I still vote for Dems, but I also fear what happens if we snap back to the political correctness of Kirsten Gillibrand . # 2022 : "And while we were effectively silenced in the public debate, men do vote and that's...

Friday, February 27, 2026 When I write a comment on someone else's blog I want it to automatically be on my blog. It should just appear to be on theirs, the original and only copy of the writing appears on mine. A truly distributed system. # Maybe it's time to give awards for most our admired standards-makers. I would start with Jon Postel and Steve Wozniak. # One of the items in Rules for Standards-makers is don't design the format before you make the app. Instead, make an app, and when you're ready, make the file format public so people can interop (ie compete) so as not to lock users to in your software. If you do that you can say you are "of the web." If we all do that always, voila! -- no more silos. Another rule is that you must use an existing format if it exists, because then you will interop with apps that support that format. Gratuitous incompatibility is a sign of a silo-seeker. So, look first, if there are no usable forma...

Thursday, February 26, 2026 Recommended: When ICE buys a warehouse in your town . # Also: New Yorker interview of Conan O'Brien. I love that both O'Brien and Remnick agree that podcasting liberated them as artists. That was the point! When you think about decentralization, the most successful protocol we have is podcasting. By design it was hard for silos to usurp. Now think about how you would repeat that pattern with text. I've been working on that for almost three years, and it works now. We'll be testing it soon on my blog, and then everyone's. This should be the grand slam home run of my career. That's how it feels to me now. And O'Brien tells some great stories including one about his father, who noted that Conan had found a way to get paid for his insanity. # If you want to heal the country, watch out for ways you add division, and stop. It's probably the biggest power any of us has. # Linkblog items ...

Wednesday, February 25, 2026 How many Jeffrey Epstein's do you think there are? # New header graphic , the entirely delightful and inspiring Alysa Liu . She's made me a better programmer in the short time she's been on our minds and in our hearts. I do this work because it's who I am. # Aplomb : "Complete self-confidence, composure, or poise, especially under strain or in demanding situations." # Wikipedia and AI will/should merge # I asked ChatGPT: "When movies were new there was probably a bit of rage from stage performers — why would people pay for live shows when for a fraction of the cost they can see the same show performed by artificial actors?" There was a lot to say about this, it turns out. This was before any of us were born. I remember that PCs were supposed to put a lot of people out of work, and I suppose they did. # I was part of the strike paper in San Francisco in 1994 to protect the jobs o...
