I am attempting to launch a new No Build W3C Community Group. Sign up if you are interested in under-engineering and simplicity. https://www.w3.org/community/blog/2026/06/21/proposed-group-no-build-community-group/
Proposed Group: No Build Community Group | Community and Business Groups

Guess I’d better follow all the recommendations and join everyone else down in the World Dungeon.

And don’t forget to apply for our Diversity scheme. It provides tickets to anyone from an underrepresented group or in a financial situation that makes buying a ticket difficult.

If you wish to support our Diversity scheme, you can purchase a Diversity ticket, which we will then allocate to someone.

Present me is kicking past me for doing whatever it was that triggered #CodePen to automatically update some demos and break them in the process. 🤦‍♂️

Right then gang, can y’all click this link and check out this website so it can get loads of visitors from all over the place as a favour to a friends kid? Yeah you can

Boosts and whatnot as well 💕

So, today marks 10 years since I launched my type foundry, which coincided with the release of my font Gimlet.

I’m not great commemorating things like this, but it did feel worth mentioning. It’s difficult to overstate how grateful I am to the folks at Font Bureau who encouraged and supported me as I took the leap back in 2016, and to the customers, club members, friends, mentors, and font lovers who have made it possible for me to make the fonts that I want to make ever since.

Late to the party, but I just can’t stop listening to Flea’s instrumental cover of Frank Ocean’s Thinkin Bout You. Such a beautiful take. The trumpet, in particular, gives me a melancholy frisson.

On the back of my question a moment ago, what blog posts would you recommend for someone starting out to build their own blog and feed?

There's one (again, not bookmarked and hunting around for) that's got loads of links plus good info on indie web, webmentions and web rings…I think.
