Monday, January 5, 2026 Podcast: Blogger of the Year . # I did a long video demo yesterday with a narrative about where WordLand is going. The audio quality sucks. And at the beginning I said I wasn't going to narrate, but I couldn't help myself. Turn the volume way up. WordLand has become a new kind of feed reader, it's totally building off FeedLand, I love the idea of apps building on other apps. It's exactly the kind of software we predicted, long before MCP's, with Frontier back in the 80s, 90s and 00s. # Just heard an ad on WNYC-FM saying we should share news with them. That's a milestone. First time I've ever heard NPR say our purpose was anything other than giving them money. They could go even further -- support blogs and podcasts that cover the NYC area. # I've tried a lot of different kinds of Keurig pods, but the best -- with the richest taste is Peet's . Just ordered a whole bunch more to try out. And btw, when ...

Sunday, January 4, 2026 Follow political news on my FeedLand news site. # Do you feel powerless to communicate online unless it serves the interests of the people who own the networks you post to? Why not own your own means of distribution, managed as a co-op, and only responsible to you, as a member and customer. No VC, no billionaire, no government control. # Bush at war # Bush at the start of the Iraq war when MSNBC called him a visionary. # He looked pretty lost at the time, I remember -- and we all hoped that wasn't true, we hoped he knew what he was doing. # We've been here before. # Linkblog items for the day Facebook used Mastodon to mislead journalists.

Saturday, January 3, 2026 On Bluesky : I can't tell you how tired I am of copying and pasting the same text into five different silos. When will this ridiculous system that claims to be the web, get its shit together and start acting like the web (ie interop). # Today feels like the day the war in Iraq began. Wars are easy to start, hard to end. They actually called Bush a "visionary" on MSNBC, they were so in awe of his courage, but that would end soon. And this time, no doubt Trump started the war with the approval of China and Russia, which will be left alone by the US in their conquest of Taiwan and Ukraine. Leaders of smaller countries must be wondering where they can hide from this. A very depressing moment. I've lived through two voluntary wars by the US, first Vietnam, then the post-911 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and now this war. # The war in Iraq started in March 2003 . That was also the month I arrived in Cambridge after drivin...

Friday, January 2, 2026 BTW, I used to have a tradition in the early days of this blog to write new stuff about an important idea on January 1 each year. At some point I stopped doing that. Now I realized that unintentionally I have just written such a piece, below . There's a lot of good stuff in that piece and in the places it links to. See the web is still useful. You won't hear these ideas on CNN or MS.NOW or in the NYT, WP, or from any billionaires either. I'm not saying I'm right, I've definitely been wrong before. But I think I'm mostly right. ;-) # The web after AI # I still use Google. And I like the AI response they put at the top of the page, even though I get that it's bad for the web. Maybe there's a position for a web-only search engine. One where my writing has a chance of being seen by interested parties, rather than being converted to slurry to be fed to consumers as one would get a tasty hot dog from...

Thursday, January 1, 2026 Liked The Staircase on Netflix . I had watched it before but had forgotten all the different conflicting stories. It is a bit irritating, but I think that's an important part of the story. # Loving my Keurig-style coffee maker . I've been stocking up on all kinds of pods. Favorite so far is hazelnut -- flavored, not real -- but really tasty. I never thought I'd want to try out all these different kinds of coffee. I wonder if I'm getting an espresso machine next. # All the Scripting News OPML's for 2025 in one GitHub folder . An example of user-owned storage. The protocol that connects our services won't know or care how we're storing stuff behind the API. A great prototype is imho the WordPress wpcom API. # A note to Josh Marshall, David Frum, Jay Rosen and Heather Cox Richardson, just a few of the political pundits I read. Now you all have seen up close the "move fast and break things" philos...

Wednesday, December 31, 2025 Welcome 2026. Seriously. 😄 # I'm enjoying the break between years, always get a lot of thinking and writing done in this period.

Tuesday, December 30, 2025 Manton Reece explains why Micro.blog uses Markdown. I use Markdown because Manton does. It's for interop . # If I had billions of dollars I'd divest. And if my country did a good job of investing in education, health, voting rights, stuff like that, I'd just give most of it back to the country. Thanks for the education, and saving my life with medicine not just once but twice. Thanks for being such a cool country. If only we lived up to the promise, but now we'd certainly need to come up with another way of distributing the benefits to the country and its people. # 2016: Your human-size life . # No one got any sleep in these parts last night, was like a non-stop tornado, but I did watch a couple of artsy movies that were really good. And this morning power was out and internet, and I thought for sure some trees had to be down, but only one was, a huge one, and I had to walk to the post office to use their phone to...
