I really enjoyed watching Winged Migration (2001). Some breathtaking footage of bird migrations all around the world. I was shocked how close some of the footage was and learned via Wikipedia that the filmmakers raised several species from birth so they would imprint on the staff and be accustomed to the ultralights and camera equipment.
Thanks to Fractal Kitty for the recommendation for IndieWeb Movie Club!
Spring time busy! I'm getting a little overwhelmed. Yard clean up. Paint the exterior of the house. Learn Linux. Change over from corporate web platform to IndieWeb. Promote IndieWeb. Celebrate 50th wedding anniversary. I'm tired already.

Jelenleg mocskosabb, mint a Gestapo, a torontói rendőrség felfrissítheti a képét egy szenzációs új kabalával? https://jungyulkim.com/free-press/hu/articles/a-kanadai-demokrácia-veszélyben,-míg-a-toronto-maffia-uralkodik.html #News #Art #Canada #NewYork #Toronto #Mob #Crime #Indieweb #Headlines

And yes, I'm distracting myself from the world ending by building my own social haven.

Just shipped: Inks
A new way to say "more people should read this." Not a like. Not a reaction. Just a human signal that surfaces great writing for other readers.
Stamps tell an author how their words made you feel. Inks tell the community what's worth finding.

James is hosting the IndieWeb Carnival for March 2026, and the topic is Museum memories.
My earliest memory of being in love with a museum was when I visited the Centre Pompidou, in Paris, with my dad. I was 15, and we were traveling from Brazil through France, Italy, and Spain. This was my first contact with modern art, and I was deeply affected by everything I saw. It changed my perception of art, and of what art could be.
To be honest, I don't remember much of what I saw. This was back in 1993, and I made so many memories during that trip that I probably overwhelmed my poor teenager brain! But I remember learning about Anaïs Nin. I remember seeing a painting that was just a white canvas. And I remember that, when I visited Paris for the second time in 2004, the first place I wanted to go was back to the Centre Pompidou.
I have clearer memories of that second visit. Sophie Calle's Exquisite Pain decorated the walls, her heartbreak fading day over day. And I remember Miró. There was a special exhibition about the Catalan painter, and I remember looking at how his paintings got progressively simpler, as if he was trying to convey the message that life is simple.
Now, this is where the memories get blurry again. I distinctly remember the last piece on the Miró exhibition to be 3 huge white canvases with a single line each. I remember thinking, this is it, it can't get any simpler than this — any simpler and there's no painting! My memory suggests this piece to be Painting on White Background for the Cell of a Recluse, but from the research I did that triptych is in Barcelona, not Paris!
Who knows? Memories can be fallible, which is why journaling and photography are so important.
But my memory does get better! Fast forward to 2017, and one of my favorite memories is seeing The Visitors in the San Francisco MoMA, during the Soundtracks exhibition. This was "the museum’s first large-scale group exhibition centered on the role of sound in contemporary art". The pieces were literally inspirational: I had a journal with me, and as soon I entered I started writing down what I was seeing and all the ideas I was having. To me that's the best kind of art!
Walking around the exhibition I stumbled upon The Visitors: a dark room with multiple screens, each one a window into a room in a house. And in each room, a musician played, all of them playing the same song, for almost an hour. There were pianos, an accordion, a guitar, and even a small cannon! At one point one of the piano players stopped and went for a smoke, and I could see him walking into another room, hanging out there with the other pianist for a while.
It was beautiful, and intimate, and touching.
As I moved through the dark room it was like as if I was walking through the house, visiting each one of the musicians, paying special attention to them for a while, before moving on to the next room. The main artist played the guitar from a bathtub. In another room, someone was asleep.
You can see a short video on YouTube, but it doesn't really do justice to the piece.
The Visitors inspired my so much that in 2019 I rented a house for a weekend, and invited musicians to join me in making music. We recorded at least 7 songs that weekend! I did the same in 2020, before the lockdown, but because of COVID I was never able to make it into a tradition.
(Thanks, James, for running such an interesting topic!)
I have made some updates to the website, including the addition of a guestbook, if anyone would like to drop by and leave a note. It’s so hard to track engagement by readers, especially people who use RSS readers, so I try to allow for a variety of ways for the reader to engage. It means a lot to people like me who are often creating alone in a room somewhere.

My (very small, powerless) kingdom for an iOS app that scrobbles to an arbitrary URL. Sure Last.fm is decent but I want to #indieweb -ify my scrobbles and send them somewhere I own.
If an app can send structured data to Last.fm, it surely must be able to send to a URL I specify in settings.

FYI - If you use the eleventy-cache-webmentions plugin, Node 25.7.0 breaks it. You might not see it immediately unless you obsessively upgrade Node or you use a Github/Forgejo action to build such that Node gets installed every time.
If the latter, it should automatically get fixed because the next build should pull down the updated plugin. I experienced weird build failures over the weekend and it was because Node 25.7.0 no longer recognizes "grey" as a valid option in styleText. Computers are fun.
