Post Roll

Other People's Posts

Inspired by Jedda here’s a rolling list of blogs, blog posts or links I’ve enjoyed.

It serves no practical function for me since I can save any such posts in my feed reader. I’m doing this is to hat tip and give thanks to people who took the time to write and publish what they did. I understand it’s considered good form to contribute back in this way to the IndieWeb. I think it’s also possible to learn something about a person by what they like to read so think there’s an element of ‘getting to know me’ in sharing this.

It will be a first in first out list (FIFO). When the list gets too long for my liking the link at the bottom will be removed to make way for a newcomer at the top. I know — FIFO. Being explicit sometimes help.

  1. 10,000 press-ups in a year update: first of 2026 by Skryblans who was inpired by 10000 Pushups by Jason Gilmore. A few years back I did the 100 press up challenge. From just a few to 100 consecutive press ups in six weeks. I was amazed I did it. Not done many since then. I’m feeling inspired by Skryblans. I’m gonna’ give it a go starting today; 01/03/2025
  2. Mechanical Watch by Bartosz Ciechanowski. The depth of detail and skill that’s gone into this post to explain the inner workings of the mechanical watch is a marvel to behold. I had no prior interest in mechanical watches before coming across this post. I read it to the end playing with all the masterfully created graphics as I did. This was of learning about things on screen really works for me. Go take a look.
  3. When Love Thy Neighbor Is a Cry of Resistance by Rebecca Solnit. Oh my. So good to read. Such a refreshing take on what’s going on around the world. A powerful message of strength, hope and love that is grounded in the interconnection between all living things. So pleased to have come across Rebecca’s writing.
  4. WillCycle by WilliamNB. Not just one post but a whole website dedicated to the type cycling I tend towards. I always find something here I enjoy reading.
  5. The Darkness You Choose, The Darkness that Chooses You by Prickly Oxheart. This post prompted me to experiment with fasting. All sorts of good things came from that. The author has not posted anything since October. Their last post about acceptance kind of suggests they won’t.
  6. Your Life is the Sum Total of 2,000 Mondays by JA Westenberg. I happen to like Mondays. JA Westenberg writes very eloquently and in detail about her chosen subjects - tech, humans, and philosophy.
