Working wonders with wile, whimsey, and wit.
I'm having a lot of fun working on and using my Anki companion app: Ankitron. And I'm also very happy with the new website I built, where you can test the app without downloading it: ankitron.com
Now on the blog: a funny binocular shot from Lured (1947), a terrific noir starring Lucille Ball and George Sanders about a poetically inclined serial killer. Hat tip to @nazaret.bsky.social binocularshot.com #binocularshot #movies
¿No os gusta la propuesta? ¿Consideráis que el sistema chileno es superior? No pasa nada, combinando las buenas ideas de ambos sistemas se puede lograr una solución aún mejor.
Sinceramente, unos octógonos negros (quizá los polígonos más terroríficos de todos) no solucionarán el problema. Como diseñador, propongo algo más sencillo: calificar la nota del Nutri-Score con otro Nutri-Score (pero más pequeño). Así el comprador entenderá cómo de buena es la valoración asignada.
Now on the blog: three binocular shots from Paris, Texas (1984), the second Wim Wenders movie I've featured and a film that (yes, sorry) I have yet to see (sorry again). binocularshot.com #binocularshot #movies
Subí a mi blog la última newsletter que envié, donde hablo sobre «Dear Reader», mi lector de feeds para Kindle; el tour mundial de @ericafustero.com y poetical.day. (vaya, pues ya lo he contado todo aquí) javier.computer/2026/04/29/d...
Now on the blog: two binocular shots from Apocalipsis Caníbal (1980), aka Night of the Zombies, aka Virus, aka Hell of the Living Dead. Not to be confused with Cannibal Apocalypse (1980), of course! Check them out wherever you get your binocular shots or at binocularshot.com #binocularshot #movies
Now on the blog: two binocular shots from Wenders' Alice in the Cities (1974), featuring beautiful cinematography by Robby Müller. Check them out at binocularshot.com #binocularshot #movies
And a minor thing: it would be nice if that segment control stayed in the same position 😅

A fun part of this project I haven't shared before is designing the cover art that appears before each clip loads in my latest movie uploads.
I miss working with my previous team and sometimes regret leaving Automattic… but then I see things like this, and I'm glad I don't have to work for one of the most pathetic CEOs in the world.

You can also get AI reviews from environmentalists and climate scientists. This is from their demo of the feature. I can't tell if they're trolling us or if they just don't see the irony.
After several attempts at finding an Adobe Illustrator alternative, I gave up and reinstalled it, only to discover that it now adds a toolbar by default whenever you draw anything, all just to push their generative crap. Leave me alone, man… I just want to draw a rectangle!
Hace unos años, en aquellos locos locos tiempos pandémicos, publiqué un pequeño fanzine llamado «Boletín Botánico» en una limitadísima tirada de 25 ejemplares. En unos días sacaré el segundo número. Mientras esperamos a que ocurra esto, puedes leer el original aquí: javier.computer/projects/bol...
Ah yes, the early days of computing! I love this 100% accurate representation of what it felt like to use a PC in those days, which I just saw in a commercial for a financial data platform that I’m sure is 100% equally trustworthy!
This free tool for color separation, imposition, and ink management for RISO prints looks fantastic. It can even help you create animated risographs. spectrolite.app
I love terminals and using Vim to update my Jekyll blog, but having to create new files or edit the front matter every time I want to track what I'm reading isn't ideal, so I wrote a command-line tool to make updating my reading list at javier.computer/books super easy.
Not everything is bad. It seems that the US is starting to de-escalate long-term conflicts and *checks official .gov site* ending a war.
