Dan J’s Website

I'm glad I took the 12 minutes. Don't cheat yourself out of watching the video, but I'm collecting these bullets to remind myself:

1. Be okay with what you ultimately can't do... because there's so much you CAN do
2. Surround yourself with people you want to be around
3. Keep moving forward
4. Never miss a party if you can help it

Truer words, and all that. 😄

I just downloaded the caption files to a bunch of video clips, and wanted each one to go in a folder with its same name (minus the file extension), cos that’s where the work on each clip is going to happen. I found a script to do that all …

One of my IndieWeb idols, Brent Simmons, writes about his blog turning 20.

I've said it before, but I always look at blogs like that and think, "Why don't I have one of those?" Congrats to Brent, and thanks to him and every other consistent blogger for helping me keep …

I have a powerful need. 🤤

VEGAN BLACK BEAN CHOC FUDGE BROWNIES

• 1 1/2 cups black beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed very well) (250g after draining)
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)
• 1/2 cup quick oats (40g)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or date syrup (75g)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil (40g) (Dan: I've been using avocado oil)
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips OR ~~raisins~~ (optional)

Blend ingredients 1. to 8. in a food processor. Then mix in 9. and pour in to a greased/oiled pan so about 1 inch thick. Place into a preheated oven (350ºF) for approx 10-15 mins. Leave 10 mins to cool then cut.

Whole recipe without choc chip OR raisins gives...

I usully split into 4 brownies. (Dan: I usually split into 6) And also I sometimes add a scoop or 2 of my raw cacao flavour vegan protein powder to boost the P count. Add a splash of almond milk (Dan: I usually put some milk in there. Real milk.) if mix becomes to dry!

Brent Simmons, creator of NetNewsWire (which I'm quite happily using—can't wait for the iOS version!) on the whole reason I've wanted to have this site:

You choose the web you want. But you have to do the work.

A lot of people are doing the work. You could keep telling them, discouragingly, that what they’re doing is dead. Or you could join in the fun.

I'm in. How about you?

Every few years, I start a blog. When I don’t have a blog I think about starting one, but I dawdle and dawdle. When I see blogs I admire, I look at the list of hundreds of posts covering maybe a decade or more and think… what a missed …
