Talking about it isn’t good enough / But quoting from it at least demonstrates / The virtue of an art that knows its mind. // Seamus Heaney : Squarings

Bookmarked Lea Guldditte Hestelund at Overgaden – Art Viewer (artviewer.org)

Exhibition title: Consumed Future Spewed Up as Present
With a new total installation, Danish artist Lea Guldditte Hestelund explores and develops the possibilities and limitations of the sculpture as well as the body, in a near-future narrative.

In her artistic work, Lea Guldditte Hestelund is fascinated by the history, narratives and potentials of materials, and how these can be released and processed – whether by cutting into marble, or by shaping and transforming her own body.

I am currently reading The Employees by Olga Ravn which is a response to this exhibition.

Liked Useless Build: Pug in a Rug by Tim Builds Useless Websites (youtube.com)
A website where you can pay your dues to the pug in a rug, by honoring it with your eyes. - The website https://puginarug.com​ - The code https://github.com/tholman/puginarug

Pretty delightful video showing how the The Pug In A Rug Site/page was made. Simple enough for me to learn from.

I usually do not use YouTube videos for learning preferring text or text and image. This video hit the sweet spot for me.

It also felt like Tim was working it out as he went along, developing ideas and fixing mistakes.

Bookmarked Images from HTML, CSS, and Shortcuts - All this (leancrew.com)
The important thing I’ve learned here has nothing to do with Wordle or WordleBot. It’s that I can use Shortcuts to make an image out any HTML/CSS. As long as I can stuff it into a data URL, I can make an image from it. Could be very useful.

I don’t use shortcuts all that much, but this looks interesting.

When I find a time saver or tool that improves my workflow, I like sharing it. Much of what I know comes from others’ generous sharing of ideas and solutions. It’s kinda like paying it forward – feels right.

from: I like sharing useful things

This site like Joe Jennett’s others, the dailywebthing linkport and simply. is a great way to broaden your outlook and schedule some serendipity. I am sortof paying it forward too;-)

Liked a thread (twitter.com)
Woke up this morning to the radio talking about the cost of living rising a further 5%. It infuriates me the index that they use for this calculation, which grossly underestimates the real cost of inflation as it happens to people with the least. Allow me to briefly explain.

Read this thread by @BootstrapCook. Brilliant work on how unfair inflation currently is.

Many thanks to Robert Macmillan for re tweeting.

https://snarfed.org/10th_birthday_cake.jpg Today marks 10 years to the day since I first launched Bridgy, my little IndieWeb side project to connect social networks and personal websites. Happy Birthday, Bridgy! I’ve always loved the internet, but I’m n...

Bridgy is part of the IndieWeb suite of tool I’ve been using it since 2015 without full understanding but with full appreciation. Along with the Post Kinds Plugin and the Syndicated links one has very much changed my blog.
