i work for the internet

this is an interesting evolution bsky.app/profile/dhol... i guess you can separate website state into stuff that is always there (my lamp being on) that would be stored in my PDS vs something people add to (a guestbook) where each entry could be from a diff PDS

thoughts on this branding?

just learned every major chinese app has its own custom markup language fork of HTML for writing websites: AXML & ACSS, WXML & WXSS, TTML & TTSS.. crazy how the web is just built on a completely different foundation there & websites dont really exist

more experiments w my browsing data

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players ssh snakes.run to join!

ok hear me out... what if...

i keep seeing all these cursors from visitors on my website but i wanted a way to welcome them to my digital home now we can wave, dance, and spin with each other when im around!

made an app to customize the objects you get from internetsculptures.com i love how this instantly makes the sculptures shared: customize the messages you get from your fortune webstone for yourself or a loved one!

the cursor bar is open, have a drink & lose control of your cursor after a long day scrolling playhtml.fun/experiments/9/

what are the best extensions / community projects for wikipedia that you’ve seen?

spontaneously encountered this gem in my file system today

the bar is open

everywhere i scrolled on the internet today

hmm should i store this data in my pds..

who wants to grab a drink with me

every time i typed in my browser the past few days

so i want to extend this to record typing.. and i think it would be meaningful to store actual characters but obviously dont want to record sensitive information like CC, address, etc. is there any smart way to do this without having it be a manual thing you approve every session / webpage, etc.

every time i moved my cursor & clicked on bsky.app last couple of days

every time i moved & clicked in my browser today

sometimes i think wow im really watching the weirdest stuff if you take it out of context

every time i moved my cursor in my browser today

feeling more bullish than ever on a better / collectively defined vision for the internet & technology turning mainstream

this year i will become inevitable

strapped my phone to an RC car to make BUMPER PHONES with @kelin.bsky.social

happy new year bluesky!! i made a recap of everything i made in 2025 thank you to everyone who ive met along the way-every comment, share, and message has meant the world to me here's to a prolific 2026 for all of us

one day i will make an installation for a toilet

this is very nice!!

you need to be API-maxxing. you should be fetching big data and designing heinous json structures. you need to be bypassing caches and collecting error codes.

i wrote about my new tagline: "software you can touch" how to touch is also to be seen. it's simple but it invites curiosity, participation, and ultimately, collaboration news.spencer.place/p/software-y...

my friend leia and i made this alignment chart for evaluating projects against what you really care about based on two questions: 1. do i love this? 2. does it feel like me? here’s mine spencer.place/alignment lmk if you make your own /alignment page!

shipping day :)

a moth landed on my leg
