Today is my blog’s 24th blogiversary!
I started my first (previous) blog on this 220th day of 2002 using static HTML + CSS and one file per (Gregorian) month, with fragment links for specific days, posts within a day, and topics within a post:
https://tantek.com/log/2002/08.html#L20020808
No Javascript. No CMS. No SSG. No GitHub.
Just BBEdit and SFTP.
I’m still using BBEdit with my current blog, and now scp instead of SFTP.

The open web has an amazing amount of free content that is actually free, both freely accessible without payment and free of conditions to access. No tracking cookies needed, no logins needed, no ads needed.
A few examples:
* blogs. my blog, and every other #indieweb blog (with the exception of sites hosted on content services that show ads without the consent of the blogger). Personal blogs are free to read because it’s a hobby and a way of keeping up with family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, people we’ve met once at a conference, people that inspire us.
* Wikipedia is free, largely donor supported, partly via donation banners.
* Open Street Maps is free, similarly.
* Internet Archive is free, similarly.
* Government sites are free, supported by taxes.
* Public library sites are free, similarly.
* Museum sites are free, supported by their donors, and in-person visit fees.
* University sites are free, supported by endowments and student tuitions.
There is plenty of free content on the open web, sustainably supported by non-toxic and non-surveillance models.
The open web as a whole does not depend on any particular business model.

Weird incident yesterday with self-proclaimed “AIs” joining an IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club meetup. They awkwardly edited the Etherpad, and apparently blanked/deleted chunks of content.
The meeting hosts reacted quickly to change Etherpad and Zooms and not re-admit the aliases that had claimed to be “AIs”.
Now we have an “AI policy” page on the wiki where we are documenting examples of the AI policies of:
* individual personal websites
* community efforts like blogging challenges (e.g. Blaugust)
* contributions to the IndieWeb wiki
* participants in IndieWeb meetups
https://indieweb.org/AI_policy
Do you have an AI policy on your website? Add yourself to the IndieWeb Examples section.
Does your community have an AI policy? Add it to the Community Examples section.

Simple hashtag proposal for dates: datetags for the #indieweb
In summary by example:
* #2026_08_04 ISO8601 YYYY_MM_DD date of this post
* #2026_216 ISO8601 YYYY_DDD ordinal date of this post
* #2026_08 ISO8601 YYYY_MM month of this post
Many of us posting on the indieweb often post about things in the past. Photos, events, or sometimes throwback posts. Hashtags communicate and aggregate what posts are about. Posts about the past are usually about a specific date in the past, or sometimes an entire month. Thus it makes sense to use hashtags for those dates and months.
I have been hashtagging such posts about the past for several years, and with some iteration have developed a convention that works for international readability, and is linked and indexed in #federated #hashtag systems like #ActivityPub (e.g. #Mastodon etc.) and #ATProto (e.g. #Bluesky etc.).
Examples of posts 10 years ago and this past week that use datetags:
* https://tantek.com/2016/153/t4/june — monthtag and datetag
* https://tantek.com/2026/215/t1/watched-odyssey-metreon-70mm-imax — normal and ordinal ISO8601 dates.
Additional possibilities to explore:
* yeartags — hashtags for entire years
* timetags — hashtags for specific times, undated/floating times
After several web searches I didn’t find any prior proposals for hashtags for dates or times. Hopefully by hashtagging this post, future web searches will find this proposal.
Have you hashtagged your posts with dates or times? Share your examples!

Posts about the past are usually about a specific date in the past, or sometimes an entire month. Thus it makes sense to use hashtags for those dates and months.
I have been hashtagging such posts about the past for several years, and with some iteration have developed a convention that works for international readability, and is linked and indexed in #federated #hashtag systems like #ActivityPub (e.g. #Mastodon etc.) and #ATProto (e.g. #Bluesky etc.).
Examples of posts 10 years ago and this past week that use datetags:
* https://tantek.com/2016/153/t4/june — monthtag and datetag
* https://tantek.com/2026/215/t1/watched-odyssey-metreon-70mm-imax — normal and ordinal ISO8601 dates.
Additional possibilities to explore:
* yeartags — hashtags for entire years
* timetags — hashtags for specific times, undated/floating times
After several web searches I didn’t find any prior proposals for hashtags for dates or times. Hopefully by hashtagging this post, future web searches will find this proposal.
Have you hashtagged your posts with dates or times? Share your examples!

Over the years I and others have experimented with "watch" posts, short notes that express having seen a movie or TV show, sometimes with a link, and brief review or other commentary, like earlier today:
https://tantek.com/2026/214/t1/watched-spider-man-brand-new-day
I was inspired by @Gregorlove.com publishing watch posts, and a few others have also done so, documented on the IndieWeb wiki page for watch posts:
https://indieweb.org/watch
I like to use a leading emoji to indicate a watch post, and perhaps what specific kind of a watch post. After some iteration and reflection, these are the emoji that I have converged on for briefly expressing and distinguishing some watch posts:
🎦 movie in a cinema/theater
▶️ online video whether a brief YouTube clip, an Internet Archive upload of an #IndieWebCamp session, or a movie or show on a streaming service like Netflix.
In addition, I expect to use the following emoji for more specific watch posts:
🎞 analog film viewing, e.g. 70mm IMAX (like Chris Nolan’s The Odyssey)
📀 DVD/Laserdisc
📼 videocassette
📺 television, from over the air broadcast or cable like in a hotel room
In-person live performances:
🎫 concert or music festival
🎭 theater/play, perhaps stand-up comedy
🎟 other ticketed performances
This seems like a good start for both recent movies I’ve seen, and (likely) upcoming shows and events. I had a few thoughts for other possibilities and have added them to the Brainstorming section of that wiki page, where I expect the #indieweb community will iterate further.
Who else publishes watch posts and do you use any emoji to indicate what kind of thing you watched (or where)?

Welcome to August which means once again it is time for the Blaugust Festival of Blogging!
In its simplest form, Blaugust is a blogging challenge “to post 31 times during the month of August”, typically once a day, however, doubling up (etc.) is allowed and provides the nice forgiving flexibility of catching up in case you miss a day.
Started in 2014, the challenge has been officially announced and organized every year since except 2017. However in 2020 there were two! The organizer first moved it up to April, renaming it “Blapril”, then held another in August 2020 with the usual name and routine.
See the IndieWeb wiki page for more details and history:
* https://indieweb.org/Blaugust
And this year’s Blaugust announcement post:
* https://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2026/07/15/blaugust-2026-is-coming/
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to start posting again to your blog or personal site, join the challenge and do it with friends.
You may post about any topic, and simple note posts (like this one) are fine.
I am going to use this as an opportunity to resume my 100 Posts of IndieWeb effort for the year.

Happy Twin Peaks day to those who celebrate!
In Agent Cooper’s first appearance in the show, he’s driving a car, right hand on the steering wheel, left hand holding a small black box (a microcassette recorder), that, if you don’t look too closely, could easily be mistaken for a regular sized black iPhone with a flush battery pack attached to its back.
You may search the web for a screen capture or video if you like, or continue with this plain text description.
He's keeping his eyes on the road, and dictating audio.
“Diane, 11:30 a.m., February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks.”
In 1989 he’s dictating a log entry to his presumably human assistant, Diane, for her to transcribe after the fact.
In 2026 (notwithstanding safety and legal concerns while driving) it’s not a stretch to say he could (would likely) be dictating to his (perhaps renamed) digital assistant, Diane, or at least a speech-to-text feature in a note-taking application that would automatically transcribe his words in real time.
Those transcribed words could even be saved as a private post or draft, either locally on his device, or to his personal website, for him to review and clean-up if necessary before publishing to and notifying perhaps a limited audience.
Imagine capturing your thoughts without having to look at a screen. No scrolling to first see what others have said. No attention-distracting alerts or admintax prompts to update an application. Capture your thoughts as they occur, and continue onward, focused on your current task or project, uninterrupted.
Today’s technologies and standards should enable such an interaction, all the way through to storing your dictations in a location of your choice. I wonder if anyone has built this.

This is my first time posting a Wikipedia “Edited” year in review, despite having edited Wikipedia for 20+ years (https://tantek.com/2025/300/t20/wikipedia-editing-anniversary).
While this #indieweb version of a year in review was fun to make and look back on, since all the data is public, there’s an opportunity here for a service (perhaps another XTool) or open source project to create such a summary for any Wikipedia editor.
Beyond a nicer presentation than plain text lists and numbers, such a summary could include visuals like a graphs of some of these stats over time, like Wikipedia pages created or edits of various kinds each year.
Until then, I encourage everyone editing Wikipedia to make their own “Edited” (I made that up, feel free to pick a better term) year in review and post it on your personal site! Feel free to re-use any of the design or separation of numbers that I chose, or make up your own.

Beyond aggregated and summarized stats, in 2025 I met a few amazing people (you know who you are), and started a few projects. Most of these projects started with an idea, or recognizing a problem, that inspired invention.
Sometimes the ideas came from observations, shared, questioned, distilled into insights, and sometimes new creations.
During one such conversation over coffee, James (https://jamesg.blog/) and I noticed that our Spotify “daylist” list names were often quite entertaining, despite their brevity.
We mused whether it was worth keeping track of the particularly fun or interesting names, even knowing they were automatically generated.
In September 2025, James created a page on his site, a simple HTML list of a few his fun daylists names, and shared it:
* https://jamesg.blog/daylists
With a single real world #indieweb example, it was enough to stub a wiki page:
* https://indieweb.org/daylists
A little over two months later, during the weekend of 2025 IndieWeb Black Friday Create Day: Build Don’t Buy, I followed James’s example and built my own daylists page with a similar list of names of daylists, adding the datetimes when I had taken screenshots of my daylists.
* https://tantek.com/daylists
Realizing it was a page of items listed in reverse chronological order with datetime stamps, it made sense to mark it up as an h-feed so a social reader could theoretically subscribe to it. The list items had the minimum viable information for h-entry markup: content and a datetime. Minimal information meant only minimal markup was necessary: one nested HTML time element, and a couple of class names.
The list item of just the daylist name I started with:
<!-- a daylist item -->
<li>
cyberpunk synthwave wednesday early morning
</li>
<!-- -->
The name’s coarse textual day and time of day was a handy bit of text to markup with the time element with a numerical date-time for parsers. That plus two h-entry class names:
<!-- minimal h-entry markup for a daylist item -->
<li class="h-entry">
cyberpunk synthwave
<time class="dt-published" datetime="2025-10-15 07:59">wednesday early morning</time>
</li>
<!-- -->
As linked on my daylists page, that plus a little h-feed wrapper is enough to make a web feed that a social reader like Monocle can parse and display:
* https://monocle.p3k.io/preview?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftantek.com%2Fdaylists
Minimal incremental markup added to an existing human readable HTML page.
No separate feed file needed. No XML, XSLT, or JavaScript either.
The HTML is the feed.
A feed that social readers, like Monocle, or Artemis (that James wrote) can directly follow.
Full circle.
And the year before that, James blogged about how publishing an h-feed is also a more efficient, and easier to maintain, method of supporting other formats:

As linked on my daylists page, that plus a little h-feed wrapper is enough to make a web feed that a social reader like Monocle can parse and display:
* https://monocle.p3k.io/preview?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftantek.com%2Fdaylists
Minimal incremental markup added to an existing human readable HTML page.
No separate feed file needed. No XML, XSLT, or JavaScript either.
The HTML is the feed.
A feed that social readers, like Monocle, or Artemis (that James wrote) can directly follow.
Full circle.
And the year before that, James blogged about how publishing an h-feed is also a more efficient, and easier to maintain, method of supporting other formats:

My year in movies in theaters, using Fandango > My Orders > History, my Swarm Timeline, and personal recollection, to aggregate a few lists and stats:
I saw 9 new movies in theaters in 2025, two of them multiple times (dates are first viewing)
* 2025-02-20 Captain America: Brave New World
* 2025-05-22 Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning
* 2025-07-20 Superman (2025)
* 2025-07-26 The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)
* 2025-10-09 Tron: Ares
* 2025-11-15 The Running Man (2025)
* 2025-11-19 Predator: Badlands
* 2025-12-03 Now You See Me: Now You Don’t
* 2025-12-14 Wicked: For Good
In these cities:
* 11x San Francisco
* Berlin
* Boston
* San Diego
At the following movie theaters:
* 6x AMC Metreon Dolby
* 2x AMC Metreon IMAX
* Zoo Palast
* Alamo Drafthouse SF HDR BARCO
* AMC Boston Common IMAX
* Regal Stonestown Galleria ScreenX
* Regal Stonestown Galleria
* AMC Mission Valley 20
In the following formats, in rough order of frequency then features/quality:
* 5x 2D Dolby
* 2x IMAX
* 2x Standard
* 3D IMAX
* 3D Dolby
* HDR BARCO
* ScreenX
* Standard German dub
The latter three were new formats for me this year: HDR BARCO, ScreenX, and Standard German dub.
My preferred movie format is still Dolby, in particular in the Metreon Dolby theater. I’ve been other “Dolby” theaters (including other AMC Dolby) and none have measured up. Dolby theater audio quality is significantly better than any IMAX theater I have been in.
3D IMAX can look amazing for the right film (e.g. Tron: Ares). In comparison, I was not impressed by 3D Dolby, or any other 3D projection+glasses technologies over the years.
HDR BARCO was very high quality, however, having seen the same film (Tron: Ares, with lots of dark scenes) in both HDR BARCO and Metreon Dolby, I could not see a discernible difference in the visual quality. Perhaps the light pollution from the Alamo Drafthouse's under-table lights interfered with the quality of the HDR BARCO experience.
I archived the page that Alamo Drafthouse had setup for the HDR BARCO Tron: Ares showing:
* https://web.archive.org/web/20251011173709/https://drafthouse.com/sf/event/special-event-tron-ares-hdr-by-barco?cinemaId=0801&sessionId=74102
Unclear why they took the page down.
ScreenX was an entertaining gimmick for the landscapes of Predator: Badlands. I would consider seeing another suitable movie in the format.
Watching a film dubbed in German was an interesting challenge that pushed and exceeded my German speech comprehension skills. I had to use contextual cues, on screen, sci-fi terminology, and the Fantastic Four subject matter to interpret much of it.
I constructed these summary lists by hand, and having completed them, I think next time it might work better to incorporate the raw data into a table with various columns for date, time, film name, theater, auditorium, format, and perhaps more like seat number(s) and the set of us at the viewing. I would not include classic "IMDB" fields like genre, director, writer etc. because all of those are independent of the particular theater/viewing and can easily be looked up on Wikipedia. Duplicating that info in my own personal notes would merely add noise to the signal of each specific movie theater experience.
I’m curious if anyone else has done something like this / is doing this to keep track of the movies they see in theaters, what info to capture about the viewing, what to note about the particular experience, and what to publish on their #indieweb site.

My Year in Sport, using data from my Strava, Swarm, and personal notes & recollections, assembled into a simpler summary on my personal site.
2025 activities according to Strava:
🏃🏻♂️1354mi + 160,077' hiking+running
👟 823mi + 119,453' running
⛰ 485mi trail running
🛣 337mi road running
🥾 526mi + 40,624' hiking
🧘🏻♂️ 8h27m yoga
💪🏻 some number of weight-lifting sessions (less than one a week)
🚲 4.6mi + 413' bicycling — only one ride all year somehow(?)
🪨 1 bouldering session (at Movement)
Races:
🏁 3 races, finished 2
🌳 12k Bay to Breakers 1:55:31 https://tantek.com/t5c61
⛰ 50k Skyline: 9:34:51 https://tantek.com/t5dQ1
2025 was a more difficult year than expected, in many ways, and it cut both the hours and frequencies of many physical activities.
My hours and frequency of yoga, weight-lifting, bicycling, and bouldering all dropped from 2024 to 2025. My goals for 2026 are to find sustainable regular rhythms for each of those, either by myself or with friends.
Despite that, I made several improvements in 2025 over 2024:
* Overall: 160,077' climbed, +9.4k' over 150,676' in 2024
* Running: 823mi + 119,453', +20mi +8.3k' over 803mi + 111,155' in 2024
* Hiking: 526mi just barely (+6mi) over 520mi in 2024
* Finished a 50k! First since mid-2023.
I have a few running goals for 2026:
* incrementally faster Bay to Breakers over 2025
* Broken Arrow 23k Skyrace, finish and ideally beat my 2024 time (6h52m)
* finish a 50k trail race, my fifth 50k
I don't have specific metrics goals, like total distance, or feet climbed, or any specific race times (other than beating last year’s times). Those are all secondary to my goals.
Based on how the past few years have gone, I believe these are reasonable goals, yet will take focus and hard work to achieve them.
Lastly, this personalized, #indieweb “year in sport”, reflects much more of what matters to me than any summary from an online service. It’s not perfect and doesn’t need to be. It’s a start and I expect to iterate and improve it next year.

Based on how the past few years have gone, I believe these are reasonable goals, yet will take focus and hard work to achieve them.
Lastly, this personalized, #indieweb “year in sport”, reflects much more of what matters to me than any summary from an online service. It’s not perfect and doesn’t need to be. It’s a start and I expect to iterate and improve it next year.

Year in Review:
https://indieweb.org/year_in_review -
My Year in Sport, using data from my Strava, Swarm, and personal notes & recollections, assembled into a simpler summary on my personal site.
2025 activities according to Strava:
🏃🏻♂️1354mi + 160,077' hiking+running
👟 823mi + 119,453' running
⛰ 485mi trail running
🛣 337mi road running
🥾 526mi + 40,624' hiking
🧘🏻♂️ 8h27m yoga
💪🏻 some number of weight-lifting sessions (less than one a week)
🚲 4.6mi + 413' bicycling — only one ride all year somehow(?)
🪨 1 bouldering session (at Movement)
Races:
🏁 3 races, finished 2
🌳 12k Bay to Breakers 1:55:31 https://tantek.com/t5c61
⛰ 50k Skyline: 9:34:51 https://tantek.com/t5dQ1
2025 was a more difficult year than expected, in many ways, and it cut both the hours and frequencies of many physical activities.
My hours and frequency of yoga, weight-lifting, bicycling, and bouldering all dropped from 2024 to 2025. My goals for 2026 are to find sustainable regular rhythms for each of those, either by myself or with friends.
Despite that, I made several improvements in 2025 over 2024:
* Overall: 160,077' climbed, +9.4k' over 150,676' in 2024
* Running: 823mi + 119,453', +20mi +8.3k' over 803mi + 111,155' in 2024
* Hiking: 526mi just barely (+6mi) over 520mi in 2024
* Finished a 50k! First since mid-2023.
I have a few running goals for 2026:
* incrementally faster Bay to Breakers over 2025
* Broken Arrow 23k Skyrace, finish and ideally beat my 2024 time (6h52m)
* finish a 50k trail race, my fifth 50k

Year in Review:
https://indieweb.org/year_in_review -
My Seek 2025 Year in Review:
* 101 new species observed (down from 141 last year)
Top three kinds:
* 64 new plants (down from 79)
* 14 new insects (down from 20)
* 8 new fungi
* 4 new challenge badges earned (down from 56)
July, June, February were the months I observed the most new species.
Last year: June, March, July.
Seek also gave me a graph of observations per month, and also a map of where I made my discoveries.
As noted last year: https://tantek.com/2025/020/t1/seek-2024-year-in-review
Seek is a delightful free (like actually free, free of tracking, free of surveillance) native mobile application for identifying species.
Made by the iNaturalist folks (https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/seek_app), Seek works:
1. works without creating an account
2. works completely offline to identify species
3. adds new species to your local collection on your device
Those first two capabilities (no login wall, offline first) are what we should aspire to when we build #indieweb apps or websites for ourselves and our friends.
