Sunday, October 5, 2025 In 2014 I wrote a manifesto about web writing. A decade later later, I'm still trying to get writing on the web to work again. It was on a good track before the rude interruption . # Before we were so rudely interrupted # I've used this phrase a few times recently: "Before we were so rudely interrupted." # Or, "the big interruption." # I'm referring to 2006 , when web writing was downgraded, to be 140 characters with no styling, no links, without the ability to edit. # That's when writing on the web started going in the toilet. # So when I say it again I may link to this post, because out here on the web, linking is always allowed. # Nightly email subs work again # Please try again if you've been waiting. # Report problems here . # It had been broken since Sept 14. # Still diggin! ;-) # # Linkblog i...

Saturday, October 4, 2025 I test drove three different EVs today at an event at SUNY Ulster today. VW ID.Buzz , Rivian R1T , Kia EV9 . I was surprised the one I liked best was the VW. It handled well, the others were sloppy, drive like the big cars they are. The Rivian had the best computer system, looked even nicer at first look than the Tesla. The Kia EV9 had a standard Kia computer system, far behind that of Rivian or Tesla. VW's computer was halfway between, it appeared they thought overall about the controls, but I was so impressed by the ride, and size, and the whole concept of it, and I always liked vans. I'm seriously thinking about swapping my Tesla for the VW. There are other disadvantages, I'm going to start reading up on it, until today I never gave it any thought, didn't think it would be a car for me. But I realllly liked it. # Bluesky post : "The idea is to build a social network entirely out of replaceable parts. No silos...

Friday, October 3, 2025 In yesterday's piece I suggested people start by creating a free site on wordpress.com to be their home on the open social web. # People are surprised that I'm trying to build the for-real social web as opposed to the aspirational social web. It does require a lot of chutzpah . I feel that. Sometimes I put off doing things because while the coding is simple and straightforward, the immensity of it overwhelms me a bit. I don't remember feeling that way the first time around, possibly because we were doing it all step by step over approx ten years. Now it's all compressed into weeks. I know how to do it, and I've got or built the pieces I needed. But it just doesn't somehow feel right that the idea is actually becoming a thing. "This can't be happening." But we live in that kind of time. Who knows what monsters lie within. We may find out. Heh. Maybe that's where the goosebumps come from. # With...

Thursday, October 2, 2025 New motto: Let the web be the web. # Latest news from WordPress. Always looking for more sources . 😀 # I have a problem in the development version of WordLand. Sometimes when I bring it to the front, there's an error deep in jQuery, an event has fired and the handler is pointing to a string or number, not a function. It dies, with no stack crawl, because it was responding to a focus event or blur or something like that. Something got overwritten. I have no idea where or how it happened, but once found it will be obvious. I've been trying to figure it out with Claude and ChatGPT and I can see it's going to take a few hours of concentration and learning to figure it out. But then I realized hey -- I bet I could use the Chrome debugger to find this problem. It has Gemini built in. It has access to the running code. I don't have to act as an intermediary, gathering data, pasting stuff into the AI bot. Now I'm looking...

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 A very small picture of the blogger's room at Dean For America in January 2004 . A big chunk of political history happened in this room. I was there, in the runup to the Iowa caucus and on the night of the famous Dean Scream . Here's a picture of my digital camera in 2004. It wasn't cheap and as we know it was futuristic. That was possibly one of the first digital selfies. # I started this site to hold some of the essays John Palfrey posts on Facebook, where they are out of reach of the tools of the open web. John is a longtime friend, for over 20 years, and we did some great stuff together in the early days of the blogosphere. I will happily turn the site over to JP any time he wants, and provide personal support if there are problems. I want him in my online web family, and Facebook simply does not make that possible. It's a silo, as we know and that means it's basically a world unto itself. If we want to solve...
