A person I’ve never met dances gleefully to a song I’ve never heard and I am smiling for days. The sun shines on the snow and the tree shadows draw dark lines across the yard and I am filled with joy. Two people who don’t even exist fall in love in a novel and I am ecstatic.

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

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.

At this point if you do the "vertical centering in CSS" joke, I'm just going to assume you haven't written any CSS in the last 5 years

I forget who originally sent me this poem, but I go back to it periodically, and it's hitting particularly hard this week.

A home on the web

My personal site is a repository for my memories, experiences, feelings, recipes, tips, photos, and more. […] it is an ever-growing extension of myself that I have total control over, my mirror and memory aid. I want to be able to look back at this when I’m eighty and thank my past self for surfacing things that I otherwise would have forgotten. – On personal sites, and adios analytics — Piper Haywood Hmm, reading this and also Amy Hoy’s post recently (How the Blog Broke the Web) is making me...

I'm an introvert, so I'm not having as hard of a time as the poor extroverts, but something that I really miss is ambiently being around people. I sometimes like being in cafes, in workspaces, surrounded by conversation and the pulse of busy-ness, feeling like a part of humanity.

Etymology of the day: ‘window’ was a gift from the Vikings, whose word for a hole in a wall or roof was ‘vindauga’: ‘eye of the wind’. Before ‘window’, the Anglo-Saxons used ‘eye-thirl’, in which ‘thirl’ meant ‘hole’: hence ‘nose-thirls’ or ‘nostrils’, ‘nose holes’.

Just wondering... is there a point in adulthood where I should have a single set of matching pots and pans, or is it acceptable to have pots and pans from 4 different sets for all of my life?

The year is 2030. Bakery art is so realistic, literally anything could be cake. The uncertainty has gripped the world in fear. I go to hug my wife for comfort. She is cake.
