Adding tags to blog posts retroactively.
I’ve been reflecting my instagram posts back to this blog for a while now. One of the conventions there is mentioning people with the @mention and hashtagging posts with #hashtags. It has bothered me for a while that I didn’t ingest those tags and mentions in some manner. I left this lay for a long...

Website Design on These Days on KPBS. February 26, 2003.
When a person wanted to go into business back in the old days they'd find a spot on Main Street and hang out a shingle. These days you need your shingle in cyberspace. Modern customers expect to find credible companies and organizations on the Web.

On The Radio.
Yesterday I did something I’d planned to do for a long time, but never got around to: I posted a transcript of that time I got on the radio. It took me 15 years and is 9,050 words. I’ve had the recording since 2002. It was a fun moment. Before it happened, here’s what I...

Wow calligraphr.com!
I found out about calligraphr.com in this article from freecodecamp.org. It was extraordinarily easy to use calligraphr.com’s template image, load it in Procreate on my iPad Pro, sketch out letters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, some punctuation, variant letters and ligatures, upload and there’s a font. Almost too easy! Want this quickie font? Here are two fonts, zipped...

Color the Smiley
Over the years I have made a lot of little web experiments and geegaws. I’ve made hangman games and drawing programs and random text generators. At one place I worked I helped make a thing that would turn an uploaded photo of a face into a Terminator face! I’ve made so many of these kind...

I blogged for 17 years and all I got were these lousy Markov chains.
In which I turn my experiments with turning written text into Markovify-generated sentences into a cool Twitter bot.
