25 Years of Wikipedia

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 22:23:06 -0800

Wikipedia turned 25 last month, and they created a website to showcase their journey, remind us about their core goals, and briefly look to the future. It is inspiring, as all things Wikipedia usually are.

I was skeptical of Wikipedia initially, from the little I remember. It still amuses me just how volunteer-driven humanity’s premier encyclopedia is. From the website:

[The Wikipedia authors’] work represents almost 25 years of humanity at its best—the humans of today, organizing themselves to benefit the humans of tomorrow.

Miniature Calendar

Miniature Calendar is Tatsuya Tanaka’s website where they make daily posts of everyday things reimagined in a miniaturized form. When I see these post in my RSS feed, it makes me pause and smile. It is a small joy that reminds me of the good in the world, the creativity around us, and the warmth of people sharing their talents with the world.

I hope it makes you smile, too.

Goodbye Tweetbot

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 17:41:56 -0800

I have been actively using Twitter for years. I joined in late 2009 and have fond memories of using it. From a desktop first, then an iPod Touch using the official Twitter app, and then my old Sony Ericsson K790i by SMS-ing tweets, before switching over to using smartphones and using apps.

I did use the default Twitter app for a bit, but Tweetbot was the first iOS app I bought on the App Store in 2013, and added it immediately onto my dock where it stayed ever since. I have used Tweetbot since then. I continued to use Tweetbot through the years by buying / subscribing to new versions, despite the Twitter API always limiting third-party clients and not supporting all of the features the official apps and websites had.
