one of my future dream projects is to wrap Wikipedia in a child-friendly, encarta-like ui, with maybe some simple games, for kids, people who like exploring, and people who miss when National Geographic was good. Maybe I'd also distribute it on CD.

PSA: i've been getting a lot of phishing scam emails lately for services I use (like fastmail and hover). Be sure that your email app displays full sender email addresses (which is not the default in apple mail).

Unlike writers, people see the compiled results of our work rather than the words we've written. So I invite you to open the web inspector and see how everything's laid out in Kinopio, I think you'll find it refreshingly straightforward and readable.

I hate this fucking pop up so much. Google auth is like a tumor on a website, I'm sure it'll only get more malignant over time. So glad I chose to only use my own auth system in Kinopio

For an upcoming blogpost, I'm tracing this embroidery pattern from the 1913 book 'le filet ancien au point de reprise II' by using @cleanshot.bsky.social to create a locked transparent overlay on top of Dottie (pixel editor in beta, by @gingerbeardman.com).
