Week of January 22, 2024
Read more…: Week of January 22, 2024So many courses and membership platforms with private log-in built on WordPress are trivially easy to circumvent because they don’t lock down access to the REST API endpoints. Related, Vimeo’s domain-level privacy setting is also trivially easy to circumvent as long as you know which domain it is supposed to be embedded on. It relies…

2024 Redesign
Read more…: 2024 RedesignThis redesign started with a simple note in Obsidian: Simplify. Keep the orange, but have less of it. Too much in nav.

Read more…: Week of January 1, 2024New Year’s Day feels like the only real rest day we had during the holiday break. This week was back-to-work. Tuesday night we made pizza and calzones from the extra NYE dough. I’m really getting the hang of shaping the dough and using the Ooni. My daily stretching and drawing resolution is going well. I’m…

Pingbacks and Personal Connections
Read more…: Pingbacks and Personal ConnectionsMatt Mullenweg’s birthday wish is for people to blog. I thought I’d blog about how blogging has connected me with all different kinds of people, most of whom I’ve never met in person, just through the simple act of writing something on my own domain and hitting “Publish.” Here is a non-complete list of blog…

Read more…: Weeks of December 18 and 25, 2023 🎄The end of both the autumn season and the calendar year. On the shortest day of the year we celebrated our friend Meg’s birthday at The Central, where her husband set up a surprise party and urged us all to get sitters and have a night out. We are glad we did. It was fun…

2024 Resolutions
Read more…: 2024 ResolutionsI used to be against making New Year’s resolutions (2009). I’ve eased up on that in the last decade and have tried some other methods, such as listing out 20 specific things I want to do for a yearly task list or setting a yearly theme. Both of those worked pretty well. This year I…

Top 3 (2023)
Read more…: Top 3 (2023)I started answering the 40 Questions this year, then realized about a quarter of the way through that I didn’t really want to answer them. Not my preferred format. Instead, I’m trying something else: Making a list of Top 3 things in various categories for the year.
