My latest project is a 3D interactive edition of the Gateless Gate, a 13th century Zen Buddhist text. It contains all 49 koans each with its own procedural diorama. It's fully voiced and has a diegetic soundscape. Still a work in progress. 🙏 killedbyapixel.github.io/GatelessGate/

we released a new experimental game today on Puzzmo for subscribers! puzzmo.com/play/hue-com...

You must picture Sam Altman holding a knife to Tim Berner-Lee's throat. We are in a truly existential level of danger when it comes to the survival of the open web, across every front. This year is when it all comes to a head. www.anildash.com/2026/03/27/e...

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

I am delighted to announce the release of my latest project: Fully documented source code for The Sentinel, Geoff Crammond’s 1986 masterpiece. Here’s the repository; deep dives coming soon. See thread for details. 1/9 github.com/markmoxon/th... #retrocomputing #retrogaming #bbcmicro #c64 #8bit

The Frinkiac is also one of the few good websites. It does its one thing. It’s built on sharing but doesn’t build any stupid log-in infrastructure required to share. It isn’t cultivating a community within its walls. The web was once a lot of that. It can never grow at all and still be useful.

@priscillapage.bsky.social I wouldn’t have known about or watched Land of Bad without your recommendation. Loved it. Thank you so much.

In 2024, @wired.com launched Machine Readable, a monthly column about programming. It's been a consistently huge hit, and I'm very glad that this month @tcarmody.bsky.social is offering to fight anyone who dares besmirch HTML's good name: www.wired.com/story/html-i...
