📚I gave a 5 ⭐️ rating to Dilla Time by Dan Charnas, much recommended for people who enjoy music inspired or even produced by Dilla, who worked with people from A Tribe Called Quest to D'Angelo, Robert Glasper and Erykah Badu. https://dillati.me/

Adobe Photoshop was released 36 years ago in 1990.
I was a really big fan and heavy user into the early 2000's, until they lost their way and started adding in subscription models. Gradually pushing away their user base, now making people pay to cancel, may have sealed their doom.

Countless hours of fun in the 90's!

My Sagemcom Spiga has a newly refurbished battery with even higher capacity than the original one had and seems to be ready for action!

People are now publishing printed books they claim to have written, but with AI prompts still left in the script.

I haven't had much energy outside work lately for creative stuff, but here's an itty bitty clip messing around with miscellaneous music gear

A lost civilization in the Amazon forest left monumental traces across a vast region https://phys.org/news/2026-07-ancient-civilization-millions-flourished-amazon.html

The very first website is 35 years old today, and you can still visit it at http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html!

"On August 6, 1991, the first website was introduced to the world. [It] contained information about the World Wide Web Project. It launched at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, where it was created by British computer scientist @timbl."

Happy birthday, web!

Seen in the wild (Queens): 1965 Plymouth Fury III.

Me: "Nice car!"
Him: "Thanks. It's been used in a few movies."

He was in the process of cleaning/buffing the car, and showed me a "before" photo for comparison. Very impressive job. The thing was glistening.

Nobody whose done modern web development should be surprised that people want to use AI.

We put JavaScript in HTML, and then put XML in JavaScript. A static webpage built with create-react-app is 300MB and people do it anyway. The Dom was "slow" so we built a Virtual Dom to go with it. We have tools that compile JavaScript to JavaScript. The industry-standard is to use a state-driven framework in an event-driven environment. CSS is either put inside JavaScript, or else we use a framework that carefully reimplements every possible command in a way that prevents them being re-used, and then graft re-use back onto it because it turned out to be useful. Nothing works because we make junior web developers rebuild the button and text box components from the ground up for every project instead of just using the browser ones. Web development has not made a lick of sense in years. LLMs couldn't possibly make it any worse, they just make the bad developers faster.

I cannot recall a time in the last 40 years when I was less inspired to make and share things on the internet. 🙁

A photographer captured photos of street cats and shared the results.

I think as a software engineer the ideal working environment for me is that I go to the office, which is within walking distance, but nobody else goes into the office so I have it to myself
