Next #pdx Web Day is Sat March 7th, 12:30-5:30pm More info at https://reeds.website/2026/webday
When you sit down next to a stranger or a friend, and explore open, free websites built by human hands, you directly combat the fascist forces which would prefer we stayed separated.
It's real connection to each other and The World Wide Web.
So, come play a Flash game. Or click around a web ring. Dream of a future where this doesn't feel so weird, and make that future a reality with us.
In 2020, students of Melanie Hoff's Digital Love Languages wrote these. In the top right, the text "Playing two player browser games on the same keyboard." The only co-located one, which made sense in 2020's lock downs.
But how often do you share good screen and keyboard alongside a human today? That's the goal of Web Day.

For the new version of POINTS I'm adding a way to load an HTMLElement as a texture. I think it's a simple way to load a weird font asset without an atlas/spritesheet. Or basically anything in the DOM.

WEB DAY! A week from Saturday, on Jan 24th, 2-5pm, Albina Library Rm 2A.
Last time, we discovered how to play ANY Flash game from our childhoods and shared our nostalgic 2 player experiences together on one keyboard. Magical.
Then we surfed web rings, fed digital pets, and explored historic Portland data maps. What will we do this time at WEB DAY? Come find out!

Portland has the opportunity to do something transformative with Lloyd Center. The current mall ownership plans to demolish the entire mall to make way for a mixture of housing, commercial developments, green space and new throughways. While this sounds pleasing enough, it will overwrite part of Portland’s history and be a missed opportunity to reinvent a historic shopping center. An alternative plan would retain the interior of the mall, including the iconic ice rink, food court, and three walkable levels.
