A directory of people who love RSS
Today, I launched I ♥ RSS, a directory for people who love RSS. I've already added the badge to my footer and submitted my site to the directory. It also shows a nice live blogroll on the homepage (powered by FeedLand). If you love RSS as much as I do, take a look and add …

One of the first significant things I ever coded in QBasic was a falling snow simulation- I think they're very soothing to watch, fun to customize, and there's lots of possibilities for extra little delight. Here's one I built on idle afternoons over the holidays this year at my parents. Enjoy!

What else do people draw on gradient.horse?
Since gradient.horse went online in January 2026, six months have passed, and more than 600 000 horses (and non-horses) were drawn. There are now more horses on gradient.horse than in the wild.

Mention it in most circles and you will receive knowing smiles, dismissive waves, the sort of patronizing acknowledgment reserved for technologies deemed passé. "Oh, XML," they say, as if the very syllables carry the weight of obsolescence. "We use…

The CMS is dead, long live the CMS
I saw a post on LinkedIn the other day from a self-proclaimed 20 year agency veteran of WordPress saying that was it, they’re moving the entire agency off of WordPress and onto AI.
