THE HIDDEN NODE — /signal
─────────────────────────

if you’ve wandered this far,
it’s worth staying a moment.

micro-models.
local agents.
quiet experiments.
small systems doing real work.

no noise.
no shouting.
just a node broadcasting
useful signals into the fediverse.

#AI #indieweb 📱💻🧠✨

I once said something that still feels true:

“AI is the new Hitchhiker’s Guide — the book of books.
A little geek finally finding home, learning how to turn the pages.”

Still exploring. Still tinkering.

I've been enjoying the simplicity of my bearblog, but am torn on whether to keep it, replicate it back into Kirby, or with an eye on the future recreate in maybe 11ty or Astro. Too much choice.

Just got a seasonal job. You know what that means: Time to update the /now page!

If your entire internet life happens inside TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, or Twitter, you’re simply mall-walking, and malls are fine: predictable, climate-controlled, food courts and chain stores on every corner, but don’t mistake the mall for the city. The city is bigger, stranger, full of alleys, basements, and hidden doors. That’s the real internet, and you haven’t been there in a while.

I made a new blog post and since I still haven't sorted out fedi-ing my blog or putting some kind of auto posting together I'm telling you about it manually. Like the old days.

The Personal Season, a response to this month's #IndieWebCarnival theme of cycles and fluctuations.

A post contemplating Winter, solstice and equinox and the embracing of constant cycles.

Dave Winer blogging about a new commenting system to connect blogs. I’ve been following his recent work on FeedLand and related projects, so curious how the plumbing for this is going to work:

The first thing to know is that all comments are blog posts. You write the comment on a blog that you own. And maybe that will be the only way anyone other than you will ever see it. But you don’t have to “go” to the blog to write the comment. You stay right where you are.

Sounds like there could be parallels with Webmention too.

How to use the internet again. (Well probably for most youngsters it's not again but for the first time 😜)

Recurring Events for Meetable

In October, I launched an instance of Meetable for the MCP Community. They've been using it to post working group meetings as well as in-person community events. In just 2 months it already has 41 events listed!

Just got done coding my website, and now it's time to kick the tires. I'd like to know if things are broken, how accessible to screen readers it is, and if webmentions are actually working. It's supposed to be compliant to the latest W3C design standards and WCAG 2.2a.https://simplygregario.us/status/2025-11-24/fingers-crossed/ #Testing #WebDesign #Mastodon #Webmentions #IndieWeb

Had to go down the rabbithole of unpaywalling this article because its just such jackassery. I refuse to be annoyed alone.
