Daily posts are working well, but I want to stay quiet on social (naturally). Simple end-of-week summary feels OK. Reposting this from last Friday, to start a thread that I hope to continue.
🌱 Summary of the week:
- Take time to study / woodworking + craft
- Multitasking hurts / constraints
- Preparation helps / walk around the hillside
- Chunk big stuff up / use a work surface
- Read aloud, to hear / Le Guin advice

I know this is sorta the opposite of the IRL experiences @nazhamid@mastodon.social talks about… just got to wondering about capturing a similar feeling.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the web had little neighborhoods?

Got to thinking about this after reading @nazhamid@mastodon.social’s post: https://nazhamid.com/journal/the-hunt/
Visiting each other’s sites is like hunting, but chance encounters are rare because there are no neighborhoods (familiar or new). Blogrolls are close, but not spatial.
What if, like, 🏡🏠🏡🏡🏠🏠🏡…

Is it wrong to iframe up each other’s stuff like this? It’s bringing me so much joy. The opposite of doomscrolling. Hopestrolling.

And thanks for the reminder, great of you and Mat to make that happen. 🙇 As I move forward planning a web book, I’ll check it out for sure.
My book, Flexible Typesetting, originally published by A Book Apart, is now freely available as a PDF: https://flexibletypesetting.com/
On my website, I wrote about why I decided to make it free: https://tbrown.org/notes/2024/10/26/flexible-typesetting/
Get your copy, and let’s move design forward together.
