Shh! I’m on a fun break.
Radio broadcasts leave Earth at the speed of light. Scroll away from Earth and hear how far the biggest hits of the past have travelled. The farther away you get, the longer the waves take to travel there—and the older the music you’ll hear.

I love when things just work! Recently discovered simple-rss, “a simple JS plugin for adding an RSS feed to your page.” It solved an issue over at bulltown and jenett.neko.
Update 03/09/26: The plugin stopped working at bulltown and jenett.neko. - the solution appears to have been only temporary. Oh well. :(
03/10/26: Further testing found that the plugin had stopped working for me due to security settings on my local network router. Moving forward with a ‘fallback’ solution for users with similar router security settings. Yay!
For this post, I used the plugin to grab my buddy John’s most recent post, Greenside, almost Spring from his feed (I love his photos). I then applied a bit of css and it rendered what you see below.
Important note: For the sake of preserving this post so it doesn’t update automatically the next time John posts, I then copied the rendered result’s html into this post and commented out the code used to grab the feed (see source).

A bright almost spring like afternoon at Greenside. First toad of the year, unfortunately squashed by a motorbike on the footpath. A couple of ravens with big crusts of picnic bread by the reservoir.
The idea I’ve been playing with is creating posts featuring automatically updating feeds to explore. This post is just me examining possibilities. ;)
By the way, if you’ve read this far, you’re probably interested in exploring - here’s a great place to start: John's World Wide Wall Display.
Cheers!
