I still remember that coffee machine\[1\]. I recall how we used to stay up in the university computer lab, often until late at night, fascinated in front of its image while immersed in the ghostly glare of some black and white Mac SE/30 screen monitors. We repeatedly refreshed our Mosaic window in the tantalizing hope of catching the glimpse of a hand reaching for the pot in that distant lab in Cambridge. Suddenly, all distances seemed annihilated. We were in a small computer lab of a

It was spring and I was inspired. It had been a long time since I’d felt inspired. Decades. But the creativity and joy I’d found on the personal web had roused some long-dormant impulse. I got into all this computer stuff as a hobby and used to spend long nights doing hobby projects. I got into Linux and started building things: mail server, music server, DVR. All the classics of the early 2000s. I loved the open-source community and wanted to contribute, but I didn’t think I was a good enough

A lot of people in the small web space have a tendency to get intimidated by the idea of making their website accessible. This, of course, results in many websites being inaccessible for many people. But when you’re just one person, meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is a monumental task. Just looking at their table of contents is enough to make some people give up – especially those who have limited time or energy to devote to their website. Besides, how would you even go

Much like other adolescents in the 2010s, I had a hard time making friends in the “real world.” I think back to my teens and say, “Where did I make friends back then?” Sure, I had a handful of friends that I made during school, but that’s the only time I saw them. With no consistent transportation outside of my neighborhood, a busy-with-work single mom that couldn’t take me to my friends’ houses, and a school bus that only went to school, I was left stranded – literally, in this case. At 12

There is a scene in the episode Who Killed 711? of the 1963 American detective television series Burke's Law in which Burke and crew pay a visit to an eccentric accountant, Harold Harold, who is the prime suspect in a murder. Entering into his hotel room, they find him tinkering with a peculiar machine the size of a large chest. It emits whizzes and dings and is adorned by various spinning whirligigs and whatnot. After being asked to cease its clanging and ringing by the titular Burke,

If you've ever written on an 80085 calculator (boobs), or drawn pixel art in a notebook, you've already joined the ranks of these digital painters. But let's start at the beginning: long before computers, people were already creating masterpieces from letters, symbols, and even typewriters. At the beginning of the 20th century, when the internet was as distant as common sense in politics, there was a phenomenon called "print art." Newspapers and magazines decorated texts with intricate patterns

There is an overarching belief that most things we want to do on the internet can only be accomplished by signing up for accounts with big technology companies. While it is true that a quick and dirty way to write and share documents may be through Google Docs or tracking your music listens through Last.FM, there is an often-overlooked way available out there too: running it yourself. As us hobbyists look for alternatives to regain control of our data and privacy, the idea of running a Home Lab

In late May, Good Internet had a breach into the web server hosting it. I want to start off by saying thank you to everyone who gave me a head's up that the website was being weird! I ended up transferring hosts, and I'm currently still restoring anything that was lost in the migration. No database breach was found, so no action is required on your part. The breach only sought to redirect links to a malicious download, and no personal information was accessed. With this situation – as I've been

My website, James’ Coffee Blog, is now over five years old. I seldom thought about how old my website was until recently, when I looked and realised that years had passed since the single black-and-white HTML page that comprised my site. “Hyperlinks are my friend,” I said, in a playful tone whose message foreshadowed my deepening appreciation for the web and what the web could be.
Five years on, I find myself as invigorated about the web as I was at the beginning. I started what would become

I’m sitting in front of a Power Mac “Quicksilver” model from 2000, running Mac OS 9.2.2 atop a 733 MHz G4 processor. As a certified computer junkie, I own several systems, but this one is almost certainly my favorite. The bong rings and the happy Mac face greets me warmly. Now, I’m not here to waste time: I have an article to write! Running right now are the Word ’98 document where I’m drafting this very essay, and my favorite internet radio station streaming in through iTunes. It’s exactly

Social media platforms provide value to independent creatives by allowing them to fully focus on creating instead of having to figure out how to share their work. Sadly, however, these same platforms reduce creative artists to content creators. When we label artwork — be it short- or long-form writing, illustration, photography, music, or video — as content, we turn unique works into interchangeable slop for consumption by users. I believe that the corporate web's focus on user

Our computers are faster than ever. If you’re an Apple user, you know how incredibly efficient and powerful their M‑series devices are. Computers are more capable than ever; Framework’s laptops are as customizable as building a PC from scratch. Tinkerers with 3D printers and a penchant for pain (patience) regularly share their latest cyberdecks built around a Raspberry Pi, the super affordable credit‑card footprint computer.

Markdown is one of the main reasons I write today. It is what's known as an LML; a lightweight markup language, which allows you to simply write in plain text, and use simple syntax structures with symbols like asterisks () and brackets ([]) to represent common formatting options found in rich text. Be it bold, italicized*, code or strikethrough text, as well as for headings, links, lists,
