Notes on Configuring Emacs for Web Development
New computer means new configuration from scratch! Since Emacs is the mainstay program I use across devices, I want to document how I’m doing web development with it right now.
Una computadora modesta
La compra de un nuevo dispositivo electrónico siempre ha significado un nuevo comienzo en mi vida digital. A lo largo de mi carrera he usado el mismo tipo de computadora: una laptop. De joven optaba por la portabilidad porque disfrutaba trabajar desde cafés en compañía de mis amigos. Ahora que trabajo desde mi oficina en casa, la portabilidad ya no es un factor importante, pero el hábito sigue…
On AI-enhanced Writing
Today Arun wrote a blog post describing an AI-enhanced writing process which got me thinking about writing in general. The following is a response which I hope can create a respectful and thoughtful discussion about the nature of writing and our responsibility as humans when it comes to embracing these tools to create work meant to be read by others.
Homebrew Website Club Meeting
Last night I attended the Indieweb’s Homebrew Website Club Meeting! It was lots of fun and I learned a lot more about Webmentions and the human.json protocol Beto Dealmeida wrote in the past weeks.
powRSS Mastodon Account
I’ve written a little script for the powRSS Mastodon account to find posts from the Random section on the main site. The idea is to bring visibility to older blogs which may not have published recently.
El lujo del provincialismo
La saturación de información en los medios de comunicación hoy en día ha hecho del provincialismo un lujo. El ciudadano promedio en cualquier país desarrollado se mantiene moderadamente «informado» de lo que ocurre en el mundo. Tiene una idea vaga del genocidio del pueblo palestino a manos del ejército israelí, de las protestas en Irán, de la invasión rusa en Ucrania, del militarismo de la policía…
The year 2025 for powRSS
One of the fun side projects I’ve taken on this year has been powRSS, the public RSS feed aggregator for the Indieweb.
Lost Media: Konpeito Tapes
In the winter of 2021 I discovered a Gemini capsule called Konpeito Media. KONPEITO was quarterly Lo-fi hip hop & chill bootleg mixtapes, distributed exclusively through the Gemini protocol. Each tape was a half-hour mix, clean on side A and repeated on side B with an added ambient background noise layer for atmosphere. Tapes were generally released in the first week of each meteorological season.…
Ejes de gravedad
Hoy decidí leer un poco de mi diario del año pasado. Esto lo escribí el 8 de marzo de 2024.

People and Cyberspace
You can read the web in seasons
What if you read things around the web the way you watch movies or listen to music?
It’s Insulting to Read Your AI Writing

It’s hard to join the Indie Web
For the web to be more democratic, we need to make it more accessible. Nothing revolutionary about the idea itself, but surprisingly complex when we think about how most people use the web (and computing devices in general).
Ya es hora de decidirse
En mi homepage de YouTuve veo entre mis recomendaciones un video con la frase «Hora de decidirse» en relación al lateral de la selección mexicana rumbo al mundial del próximo año.
Máquina de escribir
Usar cualquier dispositivo electrónico para escribir es un acto de fe. Escribir a mano en un cuaderno con tinta no requiere un proceso de guardado o de respaldo de archivos, y las notas con pluma y papel no precisan gestión como un sistema operativo digital. La información que escribimos en un ordenador puede perderse por razones fuera de nuestro control, y quizá ese acto de fe lo sea más aún…
Bilingualism: Has The Way I Exist Changed As A Result?
It’s taken me a while to respond to this wonderful title exchanged to me by Zachary Kai because while the answer is a simple, definite yes, the way in which being bilingual has changed me (perhaps define would be more apt) is hard to discern.
🎲 New on powRSS: Take me to a random site!
powRSS.com is a public RSS feed aggregator with a mission to make the independent web discoverable. Earlier today Alex White reached out with a great new feature idea for powRSS: Random idea I had, with all the sites you collect as people submit, could be cool to have a “random site” feature like StumbleUpon did. And… done! Now you can let the IndieWeb do its magic and visit a random site or blog…
Launching powRSS
Today I’m releasing a public feed aggregator!
Discovery Tools for Independent Websites
Earlier today I came across a blog post from Fred Rocha which perfectly describes my own fascination with the small independent web and the type of interactions it encourages.
Back on Gemini
A week ago I sent a request to join a public UNIX server from the tildeverse and last night I was granted access. I’m still getting familiar with everything there, but I thought it was great that they had Gemini support right out of the box.
Launching 🪐cosmoCSS
Last week the team at DigitallyTailored announced their Classless CSS framework and it’s great.
