Web Set on Arganee.world: Ten Years Archived
The night sky has dimmed out on planet arganee.world. From the surface, Earth has dipped below the horizon for the last time. As part of my domain sweeping started in April this year I had turned off the Hover auto-renew for a domain I set up in 2016 as a home for the Networked…

C’mon Phil, please ‘splain the source of the 60000 times faster claim
If anything, my career long use of dog metaphors summon, I hope, both the attributes of loyalty, but also the refusal to relent pulling at something. So… it’s been 16 years since I took a dive into the myth of humans processing visual information 60000 times faster than text.…

pretty happy pechaflickr

She was ~Yesterday Minus 121
There’s something about October 15, indeed, it being the “approximate” date of my grandmother’s birthday… in 1905. I have pretty much blogged this same story before so more or less a repost, but the way she tells it in her own voice is something special. The featured photo are…

Blogs are Big @ Baruch
Reclaim Hosting (you know they are the best web hosts in the universe) published a new case study on the massive use of WordPress blogs at Baruch College in New York City. Big as in 10,000 sites for 60,000 users over 20 some years. I have great memories of the years I got the…
