For decades the internet has been a place to make your voice heard, and the cornerstone for most of that time has been blogs. Even in the rise and fall of social media, blogs continue to have their place in the internet. RSS, as old as it sounds, has also been proven to help connect and keep up with people and their...

One of my more popular blog posts was how and why I switched to Zed from Neovim. That was almost two years ago, and in that period Zed was my daily driver for programming. Every now and then I would still use Neovim to edit a config or make a quick edit, but outside of that, Zed was where I lived. It performed...

If you read my last post then you have a pretty good idea how conflicted I feel about AI and how I’m trying to find balance within programming. In that search I think I found a path I’m going to take for now. My wife got me a Picocalc for Christmas. It just got here this week, and man it’s a fun device. Essentially...

Build a B2B SaaS, make no mistakes Great meme, but in reality that’s how most of our time “programming” has gone. We tinker with multiple agents, git worktrees, markdown files in a dozen different folders, all to maximize our effectiveness with AI assisted coding. Sometimes it can be exciting, watching a computer...

Today I’m excited to release a new tool for the AT Protocol: Sequoia. This is a CLI tool that can take your existing self-hosted blog and publish it to the ATmosphere using Standard.site lexicons. If you haven’t explored ATProto you can find a primer here, but in short, it’s a new way to publish content to the web...

If you’ve been on the internet for the last 10-20 years then you probably have a good sense of how bad the internet has become. We experience it every day when we pick up our phones and scroll through apps that used to mean something to us. Take Instagram for example. About 10-12 years ago it was a refreshing way to...

In my last post I discussed how I was moving my micro blogging practice to my personal website. I was previously using Bear Blog (highly recommend btw) for small life updates that didn’t fit into full blog posts. I decided to use ATProto as the means to make this happen, and ended up with a pretty good workflow that...

Those who have been following along may know that I started this blog as a way to escape social media and bring back an old form of online connections through blogs and RSS. In my opinion it has been super successful and I've thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people. My list of feeds continue to grow as I...

Last year after reading a post by Herman I realized I didn’t need social media; I could just be blogging. Thus started a new journey into feeds, RSS, and deleting the majority of my social media accounts. I started by using Bear Blog as a “side blog”, a place to post more casual thoughts or updates in my life. This...

I just finished reading A website to destroy all websites (if you haven’t already you really should), and I’m inspired to put a breath of fresh air into this website which I call home. I’ve always believed in the importance of having a personal site, and while I have added my own small pieces of flair, I think...

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet...

Last weekend I was building a mini RSS reader (you know how I do), and in the process I was going through some of the blog posts in my feed. One of them stood out: Lost Media: Konpeito Tapes This grabbed me particularly because I’ve been getting into cassette tapes as a hobby, both collecting and creating them. If...
