If you've ever exported a WordPress site and ended up with a folder full of markdown files, you know the feeling: the content is there, but it's not quite ready for anywhere else. The metadata is in the wrong shape, the image links are all broken, and the idea of fixing things post by post is enough to make you...

I really can't thank Brandon enough for mentioning The Classical Station. 🎧 Royal Philharmonic Orchestra/Simonov - KHACHATURIAN Gayne: Lullaby via The Classical Station ✉️ Reply by Email 🫧

I added the Bubbles upvoting system to my site this morning. At first, I just dropped in the script, let it render, and moved on. It worked, but it felt like a widget. It sat on the page instead of belonging to it. That matters to me. My theme here is intentional and the bubbles script broke that aesthetic. If...

This post came across my feed after work today and this bit from that piece really struck me close to home: Maybe I'm too old or my month to month interests are just very settled? Maybe I just need to open up a bit? It's the kind of page that likely would have found more use when I was discovering lots of new things...

I'm posting this text directly from BearBlog, which is different cos I typically type into Obsidian first, but this is not one of those times. I wanted to come on here and say was genuinely smiling after reading this post: Bear Blog and the kindness of digital strangers by The Moody Warlock and wanted to share it...

One of my favorite things about the small web is it's ability to casually change your life a little bit for the better. Not in some dramatic, TED Talk, "this changed everything" kind of way. I mean in the older, quieter internet sense. Somebody mentions a thing they like. You highlight text and paste it into Albert...

RELIGION DISCUSSED Faith is not a luxury that I can afford. That has been my response to any religious inquiry anyone has ever posed to me for as far back as I can remember. Truth be told that line actually came from the first Red Dead Redemption, and you can feel about that however you want but that's where I first...

If you're one of the millions of ass-busting Americans who have found yourself somewhat fed up with the diminishing qualities of some of the most prized workwear: Carhartt and Dickies. I have something to report to my fellow blue-collar superheroes. There is a new kid on the block who has been making waves for a...

Not exactly sure what it is exactly, but I've never been one to watch too much television. I can't sit still long enough, typically to make it through a movie. Which is mind-boggling to me because I can drop an hour on some 'informative' YouTube video or a three and four hour long podcast without flinching. There...

2026 is doing something right for the small web. People are building tools that don't try to replace things. They just make them better. Bear Roll is one of them. https://bearroll.dev/ 🐻 The discovery conundrumBear Blog's Discover page moves fast, especially if you frequent "New". Miss a day? You miss posts. Check...

When I woke up this morning I had a few emails from inhabitants of the small web. One of these emails came from a fine soul who asked how I accomplished the chevron changes on the upvoting system on Bear Blog. I made a quick Gist of the CSS code and sent off a reply, but before doing so I poked around on their...

This post has been deleted and started over at least a dozen times in the last twenty-five minutes. I've ripped two smokes trying to figure out how to start this one, and I've bounced between normal for this time of night DEFCON Radio for Lush in search for the spark. Let's just roll up our sleeves and dive right...
