Writing emails to each other as bloggers is good.

Testing Inkwell by Micro.blog: taonaw.com/2026/04/19/testing-inkwe...

Running FreshRSS on Docker synced to Elfeed has served me well, but since I actually read most feeds on my Android, Inkwell’s beta is worth testing. Micro.blog expanding into RSS reading makes sense, a...

ISO dates are back: taonaw.com/2026/04/18/i...

Got ISO dates working on my blog again. Had to dig into microhooks and Hugo’s recommendation. Turns out that “2006” is not just some random year value that can be replaced. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you why anyway.

What makes a good blog good?: taonaw.com/2026/04/17/w...

Up early (again) with coffee, pondering what separates the blogs I actually enjoy from the noise. At the end, it’s the human showing through. What do you think?

My blog on Manue’s Prople and Blogs today!

It’s 4 AM, and I’m up again. I really need this insomnia to go away.

Apple Watch after 2 years: taonaw.com/2026/04/15/a...

Apple Watch, year 2: excellent jogging buddy, sleep-shaming device, and an overpriced vibrating meditation reminder bracelet. MS Teams got banned immediately. But it’s not all bad.

We've built an AI so good it will kill us with its kindness: taonaw.com/2026/04/13/w...

I tried Claude like everyone else, and came back terrified because I found the best teacher I could have hoped for.

More signs of spring 📷

I took a walk and listened to the birds for a moment. It’s always nice to get chances like this in Manhattan.

Fighting with. I’m not provided the option I need (work/enterprise-related shipment, and the only option on the website or on the phone is for home service.) The bot doesn’t route me to a human, no matter what I try. Some service.

One of my automatic tasks for my Mac is to delete my downloads folder every weekend. At the start, I was worried this would cause me to lose important files, but I have backups and it actually made me more purposeful with how I save them.

What are some of yours?

Spent days debugging my blog’s broken microhooks, only to find Hugo was using the “default” file instead of my custom one. Shoutout to Qwen3-Coder for the assist.

So I fixed my blog again: taonaw.com/2026/04/07/s...

A Minecraft Movie, 2025 - ★★½: https://taonaw.com/2026/04/06/a-minecraft-movie.html

I seem to have fixed the issues on my blog. This required a deeper dive into my template and understanding how Hugo prioritizes pages. I couldn't wrap my head around it myself. Qwen3 helped by explaining things in plain English and answering my clarifying questions.

Some of the pages on my site are not working properly. I’m trying to figure out the problem and get it sorted out, but so far it’s a lot of head scratching. I’m replicating the same structure to a new, similar theme, with a newer Hugo build, so we will see how that works out.

Mushroom Soup 🍜: taonaw.com/2026/03/31/m...

A first attempt at homemade mushroom soup. This came out pretty well, and I have a couple of ideas for next time.

Seems like some of the pages on my blog are now working as they should. There’s supposed to be an introduction for the Archive page and the Emacs page. I’m using Tiny Theme, and the HTML for those micro-hooks is in place, which makes me th... taonaw.com/2026/03/29/seems-like-so...

@hankgreen.bsky.social explains why AI is so scary to him: "People tend to prefer their choices to be taken away." I agree.

Here's more of what I think (not the first time and not the last time):

The Cunning Man

I keep highlight gems like these.

Of Frued:

"mankind, as always through history, has half-heard the call of the prophet, half-understood what he says, and vulgarized and cheapened whatever of his teaching may come its way."

couldn't we all give a dob that make us 99 years old and be done with it?

Oddly satisfying...

I was a paid subscriber to 404 media, but I decided to let my subscription run out this year around. They started to feel too one sided and tend to focus only on AI. Still excellent reporting though, for those things.

I found a post on my old blog that I wanted to bring over, but I ran out of time today. I could copy it as is, but I want to read it again and probably update it.

It was a jolt to get back to work today. Feels like my job is to poke different ... https://taonaw.com/2026/03/23/i-found-a-post-on.html

Tired of Grammarly ghosting me on Linux and inspired by Doctorow, I hired an AI editor (Kimi via Kagi). It edits my posts, checks for repeat rants, fixes links, and suggests hashtags.

Since waking up early in the morning (sleep? What sleep?) I’ve been active around my blog and enjoyed dedicating time it.

Here are a few things I got into:
