@jonty I just post weird thoughts on my blog and here. Doesn't that count as documentation?
Look, I just need several million dollars to fund a personal R&D department who handle finishing my side projects and researching weird questions I have at 4am. Stop acting like I'm being unreasonable.

I was out of town yesterday so here's a short collection from a week where my office was 90 degrees fahrenheit so link collection was a little slow.

@webology @kevinrenskers Just started thinking a little more seriously about helping my friends build a basic web presence, and this is sounding interesting.

“I think the new web aesthetic is about getting active again. Platforms encourage passivity. They want us to stay still and scrolling, looking at what the algo wants to show us. Like, swipe, repeat.
