If you use Lektor [1] to manage your static website, and if you have access to file hosting with webDAV, you might find this little plugin [2] useful.
I wrote it so I could easily generate a gallery [3] of photos stored on the webDAV file host that comes with my Fastmail account.

It's kind of like what the Windows DE could be if it wasn't such a joke.
This is by far the most friendly and polished Linux DE I've seen. Definitely what I'll recommend from now on for people new to Linux.
Just tried out the #KDE Plasma desktop environment for the first time and was blown away.
I'm a happy i3 user, but I've been looking for an alternate, more accessible DE to stick on tty2 for when friends and family need to use my computer. This is the one :)
The dot product may be the most satisfying mathematical operation.

After doing some basic software rendering, I'm really appreciating the performance of hardware rendering.
Learning #OpenGl and loving every moment of it! Here's some simple, but lovely Phong lighting:

an attempt to collect everyone’s blogs - so as to not let precious non-commercial content go unread and unnoticed - is likely the only time i’ll ever ask:

Today I learned that #gimp + 'web safe' colors + dithering = modern image files that look like they're from 1996: https://snugs.neocities.org/
Just opened #Blender for the first time and it launched nearly instantaneously. I'm so used to having to use glacially slow software that I was shocked. How refreshing!
And, indeed, right now.

@lostnbronx is absolutely right. #Breaker is awesome. It won a butt-load of awards. Take 10 minutes to watch it.
Happy Birthday David Lynch
Joe Frank, who recently passed away [1], produced some of the finest radio I've ever heard; dark and exhilarating. If you haven't yet heard his work [2], you're in for a treat.
I can think of nothing better to listen to while, for instance, driving down a lonely desert highway at 3 AM with a cup of black coffee.

Web Scientists, 1998:
Yes, we have HTML, but that's just a stopgap. We'll upgrade any day now to a full semantic web where all data is coded, tracked, de-duplicated and we exchange sequences of universal item identifiers assigned by competent authorities, making all communication unambiguous, and world productivity will skyrocket
