Getting real reviews for things is increasingly difficult.

I find myself pining for things outside the whole web-advertising landscape. Not something inside an AI-advertising landscape either, but...

I'm ready for more #Gemini and #Gopher sites!

Or, to be sure, more personal websites, written by humans with a passion for things. We used to have those! We even had #blogs ! I still have both of those, in fact.

Stone Tools is a new retrocomputing blog "[...] about the productivity software of the 8/16-bit home computing era". I heartily welcome a blog that focuses on non-gaming software as it's a less covered topic in the retrocomputing space.

This is notable but I haven't seen it reported elsewhere: the pioneering blogging platform Typepad is shutting down in a month. Another piece of the early web is vanishing.

I came across a nice blog I didn't know, Lispology, by the developer of uLisp. He mostly focuses on Common Lisp and writes short, clear posts with readable code about interesting problems and projects, often with elegant solutions and the recurring theme of recursion. The blog offers a lot of tidbits and insights into using Lisp.

"Typically, a weblog is a small web site, usually maintained by one person that is updated on a regular basis and has a high concentration of repeat visitors. Weblogs often are highly focused around a singular subject, an underlying theme or unifying concept."

With the #WorldBlogDay coming up on Sunday, I updated my World Blog Day post from last year.

"A funny thing happens with history in that the most mundane, ubiquitous parts of daily life are the things that we've kind of lost the most because nobody wrote about them."
