Saw this and thought of @robbsutherland.bsky.social. I believe that this frieze in Notre Dame in Paris is saying that after his resurrection Jesus appeared in a Punch & Judy show.

Medieval frieze in Notre Dame, Paris, showing several figures in the window of a building, which looks like a Punch & Judy show.

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.

I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

New diagram: Pep talk

Diagram with two axes. On vertical axis: 'Have got' at top, 'Have not got' at bottom. On horizontal axis: 'That' on left, 'This' on right. The key underneath says X = You. The X is in the top right of the diagram, next to 'Have got', and 'This'.

People say “I miss the old web.” So I built something new that revives what worked back then and fixes what didn’t.

Here’s how I rebuilt webrings for 2025:

webringstudio.com/we-dont-just...

#indieweb #webrings #nostalgia #rebuildingtheweb

We Don’t Just Miss Webrings - We Fixed Them - Webring Studio

Webrings died for a reason. We fixed it. No dead ends. No loops. Just a better way to connect sites that belong together.

I have been way too busy to update my blog lately. I just managed to grab a few moments to share the video in which I shared my thoughts on Low Income Communities Funding with #GeneralSynod.

“But good DX doesn’t guarantee good UX. In fact, it’s often the opposite. Because the more comfortable we make things for developers, the more abstraction we add. And every abstraction creates distance between the thing being built and the people it’s for.”

JavaScript broke the web (and called it progress)

We replaced simple websites with complex apps nobody asked for. Now it takes a complex build pipeline just to change a headline.

The Internet Archive has rolled out an extremely effective new tool for searching for old Geocities GIFs.

I'd apologize for what I'm about to do to this website as a result, but that would be a lie, because I won't feel sorry at all

Weekdays: What to do With Your Church Building

Interested in using this cartoon yourself? https://cartoonchurch.com/how-you-can-use-the-cartoons/

Panel 1: 'Lock it', a church guarded by barbed wire and tall gates.
Panel 2: 'Leave a key somewhere', a convoluted map explaining directions to a church key
Panel 3: 'Leave it open, but monitored', the inside of a church with a figure poorly hidden by a noticeboard
Panel 4: 'Leave it entirely unattended', hymn books being stolen by two masked figures; a chart depicting the value of lead going down, and the value of hymn books going up
