That made my morning, thanks :)
Hi, author here. Yes this was just a bit of silly/pointless fun, though people overanalysing it here is just as delightful.
That's unfortunately true. Remember when Twitter et.al. used to support RSS? Social networks had a vested interest in removing it, because it means you don't need to go to their pages. It's up to all of us to bring it…
It's a reasonable question. I'm not against advertising per se, but thesedays it comes with a lot of tracking and JavaScript baggage that I don't want. My blog also isn't there to make money, it pays for itself by being…
Definitely! My old posts are cringe to an extreme. I think turning 30 helped with some perspective; I don't care [as much] anymore. "Yeah my partner is a manga artist and drew me a mascot, so what?" In my early 20s that…
I struggled with this too. I used to have separate blogs for different interests (especially anime, for fear of judgement, some of which has since come true in some of the comments below!) Eventually I merged them back…
Thanks, that really means a lot :). I agree, we definitely lost something special after the early 2000s. We got standards compliance and rid ourselves of IE which is awesome, but I think we lost a part of the web's soul…

Aw thanks, I'll let my partner know :).
I'm the author of the post. Sincerely appreciate all the words here, this legit made my morning. I wonder if part of this has to do with fewer people writing in their own space anymore. Most people post in sanitised UIs…
Looks amazing, I also miss my massive MacBook Pro's size. But the 17-inch screen only has the same resolution as my 13-inch MacBook Pro, like so many PC laptops. If it had an equivalent DPI, it'd be very compelling.
I was still living in Singapore at the time the preverbal matter hit the rotating device. Whether or not you think Arrington or Fusion Garage were at fault for their falling out, I reckon their squabble did more to set…
