Exciting news from my Vessel Spotting project, where I draw little pixel art of ships I spot in Wellington and track where they go in the world.

See the ship at the top? That's a car carrier with a really unique look, returning home to Japan, the furthest I've seen a ship go.

@bwood.me I just woke up in Sydney and I’m procrastinating so I’ll add a low-hanging design crit notes:

A) Logo cropping on the top on my standard latest iPhone
B) P in app password form could be lowercase to match cases
C) Add the same spacing between the note and the button that use use between

Hello from my first time in Sydney! I’m attending @webdirections.bsky.social and will soon be in a workshop with long time internet hero Josh Clark.

Then tomorrow I do my talk in this unique looking Gehry building:

Also this açai place is playing How Soon Is Now which I find fitting.

I am rooting for decentralized, I am rooting against X, and I love Bluesky. I put together some stats to compare how things are going across apps, protocols, and centralized vs decentralized.

Some disclaimers:

* Solid numbers are hard to come by
* It's likely I messed up some numbers
* I love bsky

I recently started collecting ships that come into Wellington like they’re Pokémon + messages in a bottle. I even draw little pixel art versions of each one so I can see them go all over the world on a map.

My wife says she’s going to buy me a T-shirt that says OLD MAN HOBBIES

In a few days, I’ll be speaking at @webdirections.bsky.social in Sydney about a topic near and dear to my heart.

I don’t believe in blind optimism. I’m too pragmatic and realistic for that. So this talk is jam-packed with tangible examples of things (some already shipping) that will be a big deal.

The Central Library was shuttered for earthquake tightening, so during construction they opened some smaller libraries. Your zine is in a well cared for zine section full of good stuff.
