Do you still remember the time without, say, search engines? I really enjoyed the book This Is For Everyone by @timbl.bsky.social, the inventor of the World Wide Web. Here's my review: ville.saalo.moi/2026/07/16/t... 📚 #thisisforeveryone #booksky

I have needed some simple PNG editing tools from time to time, so I made this little service: pngtools.xyz There is no backend, editing happens in your browser only. No ads either. Give it a go and let me know if you find it useful! Made with ✨ vibes ✨.
Search that works for you alone feels less like a tool and more like magic. ✨ See for yourself: kagi.com/magic 🪄

Somewhere along the way, search forgot its job. Today it's AI overviews you can't switch off.

Someone posted a LEGO QR code containing their WiFi credentials online and people argued nobody could possibly know where the network physically was. That sent me down a small WiGLE / wardriving / vibe-coding rabbit hole: ville.saalo.moi/2026/05/09/v...

As a research project, I built a needed tool with Claude Code. I though it would be a disaster, but It wasn't. I have some complicated feelings about it.
I used AI. It worked. I hated it.
I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

We obsess over writing code faster with AI, while PR queues, unclear requirements, and "what are we even building?" quietly eat all the time. Good read: andrewmurphy.io/blog/if-you-... by Andrew Murphy.

Did you know that only three of Titanic's four funnels actually carried smoke? One of them was, in fact, used mostly for ventilation instead. I couldn't fit this tidbit into my blog post, but I'm quite happy with the result anyway: ville.saalo.moi/2026/02/10/t... 🚢 #Titanic
