Over the last few months, I've quietly been updating some of my old sites, a distraction from a unusually difficult first half of the year. I'm writing a series of small posts about the changes, starting yesterday with Waxy itself, which got improved archives, search, and other little fixes.

A Little Waxy Refresh - Waxy.org

I updated Waxy.org's design over the last few weeks, part of a series of updates to some of my long-dormant projects.

Last chance! We had a handful of extras from our final XOXO merch run if you missed the original preorders. A few stickers, hats, and pins are all that's left.

Andy McMillan@andymcmillan.com · 5d ago

Alright, LAST CALL on the FINAL RUN of XOXO merch! Just 5 baseball caps and 1-2 of the year felt pins left then that's it we're done! Nab ‘em before they’re gone for good! xoxofest.com/merch

Watching The Odyssey as Nolan intended: as an AI-upscaled camcorder recording with line-in audio from the theater seat, burned-in Spanish subtitles, and moving blurred patches to hide the forensic digital watermarks.

whoops

Manu Moreale interviewed me for People and Blogs, the second-to-last edition of his long-running series before he passes on the torch to a new custodian. I talked a bit about the history of @waxy.org, my information diet, and some recs for other blogs I love.

I wrote about how I discovered that a new site for The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, John Koenig's long-running Tumblr project-turned-book, was a bootleg made by a marketing agency. They published the complete book verbatim, then added AI-generated art and new AI words, entirely without permission.

Without permission, a marketing agency republished the entirety of John Koenig's Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows book, replacing its art with AI slop and adding new AI words. Their unauthorized site now ranks higher than the real one everywhere.

I also wrote in this post about something I noticed in my inbox lately: a bunch of polished single-serving sites with italic serif fonts with red accents and tiny all-caps monospaced fonts on a cream background, all from different people who I'm not entirely sure know who I am.

For the fourth time, nominations for this year's Tiny Awards celebrating the "best of the small, poetic, creative, handmade web" are open. https://waxy.org/2026/06/tiny-awards-2026-nominees-are-open

I love this so much. See my reply to Cabel's post if you want to try it yourself!

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

FaceID never recognizes me when I wake up in the morning and, every time, it feels like a personal insult.

@snell.zone do you know when a new episode of Upgrade will be out

Last chance to get the XOXO merch before we shut it down forever!

XOXO@xoxofest.com · 3mo ago

Heads up! Today is your last chance to order our limited edition merch, including tees, embroidered sweatshirts, caps, felt and enamel pins, XOXO Lego sets, and our Lower Your Expectations light sign. Don’t miss out! xoxofest.com/merch

This is incredibly charming. I highly recommend using it on desktop, where you have a real cursor.

Let me tell you about this ridiculous book I made for @xoxofest.com.

Something from the XOXO merch sale that may have gone unnoticed: we also made an enamel pin of the Empathy Symbol, which became popular as an emoji reaction in the XOXO community Slack. buyolympia.com/Item/xoxo-em...

Empathy Symbol Pin by XOXO

Limited edition Empathy Symbol enamel pin, based on the empathy emoji used in the XOXO Slack. Original empathy symbol design by Deb Ellsworth. 100% of proceeds of this pin will be donated to The Trevo...

All these years later, it still feels good to hear people I respect say nice things about the work we did. We tried really, really hard to do things differently and make each festival better than the last.

Rami Ismail (رامي)@ramiismail.com · 3mo ago

I will never forget @xoxofest.com, despite only attending once. The vibes were unlike anything, and if anything, it's exactly what US games events miss in 2026. XOXO was focused, it had soul, it was challenging and playful - it was the polar opposite of the giant smooth mega-events games has now.

As someone who only knows how to work really very hard on things, let me tell you, no joke, I worked harder on this than anything I've ever worked on before, including any previous year of the festival. Letting myself feel relieved and proud today 💛

One last thing before we go. Today, after 2+ (or 10+??) years of work, we’re launching XOXO Explore, a complete archive of all eight years of the festival. xoxofest.com

This was a lot of work and we're really proud of it. So proud that we made a bunch of limited-run merch to celebrate. Go check it out!

Razor 1911 made a PC demo for Revision 2026 that's a whirlwind retrospective of the group, touching on a lot of warez/art/demoscene tech, tools, and history since they started in 1985. It won the PC Demo category and clearly earned it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Anb...

The surprise at the end of Cabel's talk was a personal highlight of 12 years of running XOXO, a secret quietly hiding on stage for the entire festival. Nobody knew what was coming but @cabel.panic.com, @andymcmillan.com, me, and venue/event staff. It was a surprise even to all the other speakers.

Cabel Sasser@cabel.panic.com · 6mo ago

over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.) finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk. enjoy. cabel.com/wes-cook-and...

speaking of bad opsec, here's Epstein in 2007 reporting to Yahoo support that his accounts were hacked, revealing his super-strong passwords in the process

Everyone in these Epstein emails has worse opsec habits while committing heinous sex crimes than my friends do when buying weed, and weed is legal now.

the one time "make the logo bigger" would have been good advice

online reviews of every skilled nursing facility: ★★★★★ this place saved my mom’s life, thanks to Esmerelda for being a second mother to me ☠️ this place killed my dad, the staff made him sleep in his own feces and beat him nightly, it should be shut down by the health dept and burned to the ground

This has been the most stressful two weeks of my life, and lemme tell you, looking at the internet has not exactly helped lower my blood pressure.
