I slept for seven hours last night instead of my usual four and somehow was in a much better mood than usual today! How totally unexpected and inexplicable!

In retrospect, maybe the site with content in as many as 22 languages, Paragraphs nested five levels deep, and the use of Paragraphs Library wasn't the best place for me to start learning decoupled #Drupal. 🫠

Watching a webinar about the creation of the new Lady Gaga website, and they mentioned that they had to do work to gather all the content and metadata to represent her discography.
I hadn't really thought about that there's probably not a standardized way for an artist to maintain that. 🤔

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

No, and if he wants to play it six times in a row like at his Juneteenth concert last year, that's fine by me.
Kendrick Lamar’s smash “Not Like Us” swept all five of its Grammy nominations. The ubiquitous Drake diss may reach its ultimate peak on the Super Bowl halftime stage in New Orleans.
Is Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ Too Controversial for the Super Bowl?
After sweeping the Grammys on Sunday, Lamar’s ubiquitous Drake diss could be the centerpiece of the halftime show. That, it bears mentioning, is pretty strange.

Most of the official communications out of the WordPress project lately are of the kind I might expect from, say, a 13-year-old forum administrator...not a platform powering 40% of the web's content management systems. And yet.

The joys of running a website made almost entirely of user-generated content: dealing with users who join and immediately post a ton of spam. (It's really adding up in Google AdSense revenue, though! Too bad that will likely get flagged as invalid traffic before it gets paid out.)

I thought swifties.social was kind of a genius way to bring together a fanbase on Bluesky...and it turns out it's built on an open-source tool? Hmm, I might have a weekend project for @crownnote.com ahead...

Tried setting up my new .music domain for @crownnote.com and it's...the most ridiculously convoluted process ever? And then you get to the end of the process and there seems to be no way to adjust nameservers. Fun.
