People spent a lot of time and energy in 2024 talking about (and on) other people’s websites. Twitter. Bluesky. Mastodon. Even LinkedIn.
I observed it all with the dispassionate perspective of Dr. Manhattan on Mars. While I’m happy to see more people abondoning the cesspool that is Twitter, I’m not all that invested in either Mastodon or Bluesky. Or any other website, for that matter. I’m glad they’re there, but if they disappeared tomorrow, I’d carry on posting here on my own site.
I posted to my website over 850 times in 2024.
I shared over 350 links.
I posted over 400 notes.
I published just one article.
And I wrote almost 100 blog posts here in my journal this year.
Here are some cherry-picked highlights:
- January: Continuous partial ick — Voigt-Kampff.
- March: What the world needs — Write for yourself.
- April: My approach to HTML web components — Naming custom elements, naming attributes, the single responsibility principle, and communicating across components.
- June: Filters — A web by humans, for humans.
- August: Frostapalooza — A truly special event.
- November: The meaning of “AI” — Naming things is hard, and sometimes harmful.
