‘music creation in space’

Last night, I revisited an old fave, a little musical toy called PLINK! by Dinahmoe Labs. After a bit of fun jamming with strangers, I decided to check out Dinahmoe Labs’ homepage and found yet another cool musical toy:

TONECRAFT

addictive, meditative, music creation in space

Note: I also discovered the above sites work best in Safari and Chrome.

Firefox: not so much.

If you dig in a little, you’ll find other musical toys and while I don’t typically link to commercial portfolios, I’ll just say the information link will get you there - but be warned, you may be astounded…

notes from the hub 01-03-25

2025! For each of us, may it be the best year ever!

I’m learning that some web projects can only be completed in stages. Reaching perfection isn’t possible - there’s always a next stage.

The first stage of my accessibility improvement project was recently completed for seven webthings:

• i.webthings hub
• a.k.a. joe jenett
• i.webthings directory
• the dailywebthing archives
• simply.
• bulltown.2022
• bulltown.neo

In addition, the dailywebthings archives site is virtually free of bad links at the moment. The next link check in 3-4 weeks, as usual, should uncover 15-30 more poopoos (which occurred between now and then)…

Cheers!

‘an alternative frontend’ to Reuters news

Neuters - Reuters Proxy (github)
[tdjones]

‘Fighting back against the corporate web’ isn’t a new idea.

When it comes to news sites, a few major players have (wisely) created their own lightweight alternatives (like NPR and CNN) and I’m tickled to see this independently-produced ‘lightweight and fast’ frontend to Reuters’ news data.

The site’s about page also reminded of something else useful for those interested in more ‘privacy-friendly’ alternatives:

LibRedirect

A web extension that redirects YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok and other websites to alternative privacy-friendly frontends.

😎 Happy New Year y’all!
