Word of the day is 'sequaciousness' (17th century): the blinkered, unreasoning, and slavish following of another, no matter where it leads.

A couple of years ago I started building an IndieWeb website. Then I got painfully busy at work, stopped improving it, and basically ran out of free time to even post to it. Fast forward a couple of years, and I've got a new job that's somewhat more manageable, and during the holiday break I'm trying to get this thing going again. I've made a couple of changes: For the static site generator itself, I replaced Gatsby with Eleventy and am happier with it; it's basically just a pile of simple t... -

@bobbyvoicu If it weren't for our brilliant writers, this character would not have shined. It really is like a tango - it takes two to do it. Thank you so much. đ⤠-

In the past, you could be reckful (considerate) as well as reckless. People were also gormful (careful); feckful (responsible), ruthful (compassionate), wieldy (agile), ept (adroit), and definitely gruntled. Bring back the lost positives. -

Martin Tournoij wrote about âstupid light softwareâ. When you try to be a bit too minimalistic with your software, itâs probably âstupid light softwareâ.Thereâs also the concept of stupid light: when you save weight to the point of stupidity. You wonât be comfortable, youâll miss stuff you need, your equipment will be too fragile and break.With software I most often go from âheavyâ to âlightâ. First, I try to realize the features I need and then I try to optimize where possible. First, I will... -

If we lived close to nature in an agricultural society, the seasons as metaphor and fact would continually frame our lives. But the master metaphor for our era does not come from agricultureâit comes from manufacturing. We do not believe that we âgrowâ our livesâwe believe that we âmakeâ them. Just listen to how we use the word in everyday speech: we make time, make friends, make meaning, make money, make a living, make love. â Parker Palmer, âLet Your Life Speakâ (97) You know what else we... -
