These “I tricked into giving me instructions for building an explosive and all it took was 90 minutes of gaslighting” stories are silly. You know where else you can find this information? Every search engine ever, in far less than 90 minutes. Performative clickbait.

I have been eating here and getting take out for a long time. Lots of memories with so many friends. Citrus Club was my favorite neighborhood noodle place. They had numerous vegan and vegetarian dishes. My favorite dishes were the BBQ tofu spring rolls, and marmalade coconut shrimp without the shrimp, substituting both fresh and fried tofu. From the menu: “sweet peas, onions & lemomngrass. Tossed in our coconut sauce w/Jade(spinach)noodles.”
When I walked by on the return home, the front door was open, the inside was lit but looked emptied, and there was music playing.

In Chicago on business. The company has an office 5 minutes from O’Hare that is perfect for meetings where people are coming from all over the country. The only downside is that there is basically nothing fun nearby. Fly thousands of miles to be confined to a 5 mile radius.

Fascinating article that makes a creative case for Universal Basic Income, of which I am a proponent. The author’s argument uses a three-pointed, triangular series of points that are incredibly distinct, but still come together as a coherent whole.
The first argument pertains to Albert Einstein, who famously worked as a patent clerk when he rewrote physics in the span of a single year. He was afforded time to think thanks to the job having very few demands.
if universal basic income enables even one more Einstein to become Einstein over the course of the next century, it will have paid for itself a thousand times over.
The second argument comes from a series of UBI trials in Ireland and New York, which confirmed the (in my view) obvious.
When you give everyone in a community a floor of income, entrepreneurship skyrockets. New businesses get started. People take risks they wouldn’t have otherwise taken. This isn’t surprising. Starting a business is terrifying when the downside is losing your house. It’s a lot less terrifying when the downside is falling back on a basic income.
The final argument involves a “microtonal math rock band” from Quebec, and I’ll save the beautiful crescendo for the linked post. It’s worth a read!

"web joy" — the joy you experience when visiting a website with joyful content and/or have a joyful experience (as a user) on a website, or the joy of creating such a website.
During the beyond tellerand conference this past week, someone mentioned “responsive web design” and having just completed IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf, the thought popped in my head that joyful web design should be a named thing, since many of us spent the weekend at IndieWebCamp doing just that.
I mentioned it to @jamesg.blog at a break between talks, we discussed it a bit and agreed that joy is a good motivator, and as creatives we both like creating things that are joyful to experience, and ideally joyful to create.
That and a zoom chat today was inspiration to name that specific joyful experience “web joy”.
It’s a nod to “moon joy”, a mere weeks old phrase many have heard and been inspired by, coined by Mission Control science officer Angela Garcia, and transmitted (spoken) by CAPCOM on shift, Jacki Mahaffey, in reply to the Artemis II astronauts on mission (as noted in a NASA AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/nasa/comments/1stjt7m/comment/ohw9g9l/). You can hear the “Copy, moon joy.” expression in context at the start of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHUvedAssyE
Much thanks to James for his encouragement to blog “web joy”.

4 conferences across 3 cities in 10 days: * 4/20 W3C AC Meeting (Huangzhou) “Challenging how we see the web” future of web browsers panel participant (remotely from San Francisco, on the evening of 2026-04-19) * 4/21-23 Mozilla Leadership Summit (Boston) * 4/25-26 IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf * 4/27-28 beyond tellerand Düsseldorf
Somehow squeezed in a few personal events too: * 4/20 Bostom Marathon cheering — managed to hike a half marathon myself that day! * 4/26 Balu Brigada concert in Cologne * 4/29 Cologne Cathedral tower climb
In total:
7 events across 4 cities in 12 days including travel time.
Saw, heard, spoke/designed/coded with so many inspiring people. So many notes, photos, and a few videos. Overall an incredibly positive (if exhausting) experience. It was highly illuminating contrasting the different sets of people, talks, practices etc., some overlapping, across all the events. An incredibly valuable overview perspective.
