  1. We flew our kite above a hillfort of St.Mary of the Snows on Podgorje karst, Slovenia.

    This story starts with Neolithic dentirstry, goes through Bronze and Iron Age, and ends with a cute little church. Enjoy! ;-)

  6. "In Greek, they are χαρταετοί, paper eagles, and the Germans call them Drachen, dragons. [...]

    Spanish speakers describe them as comets, cometas; Mandarin remembers when the flying forms were affixed with bamboo flutes, like airborne Aeolian harps — fēngzhēng, “wind zithers”, known elsewhere as “wind psalteries” — while the Japanese kanji 凧 combines a radical connected to wind with an element meaning towel or cloth.

    In English, they are simply kites, named for the bird of prey, from the old English cyta — thought to be onomatopoetic imitation of its sharp-edged call."

  11. And, a missed update from our second-last #KiteFlying on 2026-04-02!

    We talked about the challenges of migrating organisations – especially ones which aren't technically focussed – out of corporate surveillance prisons. A comrade brought a few specific examples of groups they're working with, and we talked through different approaches and processes: going one process at a time, focussing on specific apps, rolling out Single Sign On. An interesting conversation to be sure, and personally this definitely feels like what we exist for as a project!
