Today is a good day, I think, to make little guys. Pattern from Machine Knitting Monthly Oct 2025, which calls for spider legs, but I think the “little guy”-ness is correct without them.

Over the last few years I have been especially drawn in by the bundles, particularly the charity fundraising variety. For these bundles, dozens (sometimes more than a hundred?

Browser bookmarks can run little bits of javascript on the current page if you use a "javascript:" URL. Folks often refer to these as "bookmarklets". (I wish they worked well in mobile browsers like iOS Safari, but that's a rant...) Constructing scripts in a URL-safe format can be super frustrating! But today I expanded my "dev tools" for building bookmarklets: The Firefox dev tools console is a great way to try out your code in-place on the actual page where you want to run it.

It's another rambling web dev post sorry not sorry grab a beverage and let's go. Begin with the Horrible Admission 🤫😳 Rather than make you wait, here it is: I created and maintain An IndieWeb Webring and it uses emojis as IDs.
