Makoism – Excellent new site I found
by
Wasn’t familiar with Makoism until today but flipping through the weekly posts I found lots of great other content to read so this is now in my RSS rotation.
How Comics Were Made
by
I just received my copy of How Comics Were Made in the mail and with a quick flip through the book I’m even more excited to dig in and enjoy the art and the history of comics. Here are a few sample images from the book to whet your appetite.
I Don’t run macOS (btw)
by
After my recent post about Hugo I’ve had at least one suggestion for an app to publish directly to WordPress without intervention. Unfortunately they were all macOS apps, which I don’t daily drive, and haven’t for 8 months. I use Linux, specifically Fedora 40 with KDE Plasma 6.2 on a Framework 13″ AMD Ryzen 7040

by
Yes Matt Mullenweg is being an ass, but this isn’t new. 14 years ago Matt got capital_P_dangit added to core without a Trac ticket testing or discussion. Justin Tadlock did a good summary of events at the time. That was when I decided I wanted to stay off Matt’s radar because they way he treated
I’d Rather Hear about it on your Blog
by
Dave Winer celebrating 30 years of blogging and all the nice messages he’s been getting. I appreciate all of the messages, but would appreciate them even more if they were on your blog. We need to keep using the tech. Blogging is kind of lost, and I would like to see that change. Every time
Atlas Headrest for Embody Chair
by
I just got my Embody chair yesterday and while it’s very comfortable, it doesn’t come with a headrest. I’m planning to give it a few weeks to see if I need one, but if so the Atlas Headrest has matching fabric for almost every Embody option and based on the YouTube reviews I’ve seen this
