Beyond aggregated and summarized stats, in 2025 I met a few amazing people (you know who you are), and started a few projects. Most of these projects started with an idea, or recognizing a problem, that inspired invention.
Sometimes the ideas came from observations, shared, questioned, distilled into insights, and sometimes new creations.
During one such conversation over coffee, James (https://jamesg.blog/) and I noticed that our Spotify “daylist” list names were often quite entertaining, despite their brevity.
We mused whether it was worth keeping track of the particularly fun or interesting names, even knowing they were automatically generated.
In September 2025, James created a page on his site, a simple HTML list of a few his fun daylists names, and shared it:
* https://jamesg.blog/daylists
With a single real world #indieweb example, it was enough to stub a wiki page:
* https://indieweb.org/daylists
A little over two months later, during the weekend of 2025 IndieWeb Black Friday Create Day: Build Don’t Buy, I followed James’s example and built my own daylists page with a similar list of names of daylists, adding the datetimes when I had taken screenshots of my daylists.
* https://tantek.com/daylists
Realizing it was a page of items listed in reverse chronological order with datetime stamps, it made sense to mark it up as an h-feed so a social reader could theoretically subscribe to it. The list items had the minimum viable information for h-entry markup: content and a datetime. Minimal information meant only minimal markup was necessary: one nested HTML time element, and a couple of class names.
The list item of just the daylist name I started with:
<!-- a daylist item -->
<li>
cyberpunk synthwave wednesday early morning
</li>
<!-- -->
The name’s coarse textual day and time of day was a handy bit of text to markup with the time element with a numerical date-time for parsers. That plus two h-entry class names:
<!-- minimal h-entry markup for a daylist item -->
<li class="h-entry">
cyberpunk synthwave
<time class="dt-published" datetime="2025-10-15 07:59">wednesday early morning</time>
</li>
<!-- -->
As linked on my daylists page, that plus a little h-feed wrapper is enough to make a web feed that a social reader like Monocle can parse and display:
* https://monocle.p3k.io/preview?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftantek.com%2Fdaylists
Minimal incremental markup added to an existing human readable HTML page.
No separate feed file needed. No XML, XSLT, or JavaScript either.
The HTML is the feed.
A feed that social readers, like Monocle, or Artemis (that James wrote) can directly follow.
Full circle.
And the year before that, James blogged about how publishing an h-feed is also a more efficient, and easier to maintain, method of supporting other formats:

Yay, I finally got my own domain! Small steps towards the Small Web.
If you happen to want to check it out, it's at https://kaamkiya.dev :)
I'm open to suggestions, and hope to eventually add a photo gallery for my (mediocre) photography.
Oh also, I'm aware that the mobile styling isn't very good, and I'm open to suggestions on how to fix it.
Thanks!

Found a discussion on the #indieweb #wiki about using a DB vs files to store the CMS content. I'm leaning towards using a DB. It is easier when building feeds, tag searching, etc.

I am a blind writer. Typically, I write Romance. I write it not as a guilty pleasure, but as a survival manual. In a world that tells disabled people we are burdens, Romance is the only genre that insists we are worthy of worship. It is a political act to write a story where safety is the ultimate kink. https://sightlessscribbles.com/welcome-note/ #Romance #RomanceLandia #RomanceReaders #Blog #Blogging #IndieWeb

Are there any ethical data centers?
Are there any hosting providers using renewable energy and investing in the same, offering reasonable cost and service to regular (or #Indieweb) type folks? We don't all need blazing fast SSDs and CPUs for small-fry web projects.
I've been a happy DigitalOcean customer for years and years, but I wouldn't mind migrating to a provider dedicated to (more) sustainable tech if such a thing exists.

I had to delete the Guestbook page on my personal website... 😢
Seems like having a <form> on a page leads to too much spam traffic for a small shared hosting like mine....
Not the energy to investigate solutions right now

My year in movies in theaters, using Fandango > My Orders > History, my Swarm Timeline, and personal recollection, to aggregate a few lists and stats:
I saw 9 new movies in theaters in 2025, two of them multiple times (dates are first viewing)
* 2025-02-20 👹 Captain America: Brave New World
* 2025-05-22 ℹ️ Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning
* 2025-07-20 🦸🏻♂️ Superman (2025)
* 2025-07-26 ⓸ The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)
* 2025-10-09 🔺 Tron: Ares
* 2025-11-15 🏃🏻♂️ The Running Man (2025)
* 2025-11-19 🧌 Predator: Badlands
* 2025-12-03 🪄 Now You See Me: Now You Don’t
* 2025-12-14 🧹 Wicked: For Good
In these cities:
* 11x San Francisco
* Berlin
* Boston
* San Diego
At the following movie theaters:
* 6x AMC Metreon Dolby
* 2x AMC Metreon IMAX
* Zoo Palast
* Alamo Drafthouse SF HDR BARCO
* AMC Boston Common IMAX
* Regal Stonestown Galleria ScreenX
* Regal Stonestown Galleria
* AMC Mission Valley 20
In the following formats, in rough order of frequency then features/quality:
* 5x Dolby
* 2x IMAX
* 2x Standard
* 3D IMAX
* 3D Dolby
* HDR BARCO
* ScreenX
* Standard German dub
The latter three were new formats for me this year: HDR BARCO, ScreenX, and Standard German dub.
My preferred movie format is still Dolby, in particular in the Metreon Dolby theater. I’ve been other “Dolby” theaters (including other AMC Dolby) and none have measured up. Dolby theater audio quality is significantly better than any IMAX theater I have been in.
3D IMAX can look amazing for the right film (e.g. Tron: Ares). In comparison, I was not impressed by 3D Dolby, or any other 3D projection+glasses technologies over the years.
HDR BARCO was very high quality, however, having seen the same film (Tron: Ares, with lots of dark scenes) in both HDR BARCO and Metreon Dolby, I could not see a discernible difference in the visual quality. Perhaps the light pollution from the Alamo Drafthouse's under-table lights interfered with the quality of the HDR BARCO experience.
I archived the page that Alamo Drafthouse had setup for the HDR BARCO Tron: Ares showing:
* https://web.archive.org/web/20251011173709/https://drafthouse.com/sf/event/special-event-tron-ares-hdr-by-barco?cinemaId=0801&sessionId=74102
Unclear why they took the page down.
ScreenX was an entertaining gimmick for the landscapes of Predator: Badlands. I would consider seeing another suitable movie in the format.
Watching a film dubbed in German was an interesting challenge that pushed and exceeded my German speech comprehension skills. I had to use contextual cues, on screen, sci-fi terminology, and the Fantastic Four subject matter to interpret much of it.
I constructed these summary lists by hand, and having completed them, I think next time it might work better to incorporate the raw data into a table with various columns for date, time, film name, theater, auditorium, format, and perhaps more like seat number(s) and the set of us at the viewing. I would not include classic "IMDB" fields like genre, director, writer etc. because all of those are independent of the particular theater/viewing and can easily be looked up on Wikipedia. Duplicating that info in my own personal notes would merely add noise to the signal of each specific movie theater experience.
I’m curious if anyone else has done something like this / is doing this to keep track of the movies they see in theaters, what info to capture about the viewing, what to note about the particular experience, and what to publish on their #indieweb site.

I\u2019ve been other \u201cDolby\u201d theaters (including other AMC Dolby) and none have measured up. Dolby theater audio quality is significantly better than any IMAX theater I have been in.<br /><br />3D IMAX can look amazing for the right film (e.g. Tron: Ares). In comparison, I was not impressed by 3D Dolby, or any other 3D projection+glasses technologies over the years.<br /><br />HDR BARCO was very high quality, however, having seen the same film (Tron: Ares, with lots of dark scenes) in both HDR BARCO and Metreon Dolby, I could not see a discernible difference in the visual quality. Perhaps the light pollution from the Alamo Drafthouse's under-table lights interfered with the quality of the HDR BARCO experience.<br /><br />I archived the page that Alamo Drafthouse had setup for the HDR BARCO Tron: Ares showing:<br />* <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20251011173709/https://drafthouse.com/sf/event/special-event-tron-ares-hdr-by-barco?cinemaId=0801&sessionId=74102\">https://web.archive.org/web/20251011173709/https://drafthouse.com/sf/event/special-event-tron-ares-hdr-by-barco?cinemaId=0801&sessionId=74102</a><br />Unclear why they took the page down.<br /><br />ScreenX was an entertaining gimmick for the landscapes of Predator: Badlands. I would consider seeing another suitable movie in the format.<br /><br />Watching a film dubbed in German was an interesting challenge that pushed and exceeded my German speech comprehension skills. I had to use contextual cues, on screen, sci-fi terminology, and the Fantastic Four subject matter to interpret much of it.<br /><br />I constructed these summary lists by hand, and having completed them, I think next time it might work better to incorporate the raw data into a table with various columns for date, time, film name, theater, auditorium, format, and perhaps more like seat number(s) and the set of us at the viewing.

So, the #IndieWeb and personal websites movements need to figure out their priorities—and their constituencies.
