Introducing 🦍Gorilla!
A YouTube wrapper that give parents the ultimate control over what their kids watch. I built this for my kids, and they love it. Moreover, they watch LESS NOW.

kidding aside, some research says I might be able to actively re-habilitate this domain, if it's worth it, via google search console work. need to crunch some numbers
I could do something pretty funny with those requests, but I don't wanna be a dick.
Bought a domain and pushed some content to it. Early analytics turned up WAY too many hits. Wayback says it hosted porn about 5 years ago. I guess availability is no longer the only concern on domain searches - you might be inheriting a WHOLE LOT of unwanted traffic.
The title slide of the talk, Finite Source Machines: Contribution for Busy Humans. It depicts a study drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci for his unfinished painting, The Adoration of the Magi.
Finally released my long-form version of Finite Source Machines: Contribution for Busy Humans from All Things Open this October.

Thanks again to @allthingsopen.bsky.social for the opportunity.

It'd be nice to be able to generate an SBOM as an artifact on the Releases page too.
It's Friday night, so of course I spent it opening a bug report to GitHub on their SBOM generation feature. SBOMs reference a branch, with no correlation to the sha of the current commit on the default branch. Very simple win to introduce true traceability.

This is true of all team members actually. The trick is to have more >1 days than less
All the interesting stuff to me is in the deltas. But that YoY insight can be flawed too or easy to associate too much, with new data collection techniques or outreach.

Anyway, enjoy, report bugs, etc. I wrote it REALLY fast, like.... delete the CSS and go! But each iteration gets better markup, and the tech (11ty) still holds up years later. Finally switched this to pnpm too.
This also just begs for a playable tetris game. I need worked to polish this initial cut of AI slop into a Web Component that can handle many tetris blocks, or give me just one, etc. Seems like a fun thing to iterate on. Only renders on wider screens.
People want to classify you as one thing or another. Life is far more complicated than that and I choose to celebrate it.

Gave brianmuenzenmeyer.com a facelift this week. I've leaned into this notion that I don't fit into a neat box anymore. I'm a multifaceted leader and human, at work, in life, in my relationship, etc. I keep seeing this reality in my travels, and sometimes it even hinders me.
💸 Lastly, I've prices of the book to get it into more hands. For those outside of shipping zone, there are some print on demand options now on the site too. If you are interested in supporting me and my work, check it out.

(I learned today that some of the backtick formatting was lost on epub to HTML conversion, so I'll be working to fix that!)
🆓 To celebrate this new post, I've also released Chapter 3: Consuming Open Source Software. This remains a good coffee read and resource nonetheless. Find this in the comments, as well as the source code.
✨ This post complements Chapter 1 of Approachable Open Source - providing thematic oomph as you start your reading journey. I've "illuminated" the text with a link directly too it. A first iteration of transforming the text into a truly perennial resource that will outlast any print run.
🎙️ This idea percolated from a short conversation with Marty Henderson, into a @nodejs.org blog post, to a cozy @minnestar.org talk, to a great JavaScriptMN meetup night, and finally a full-stage @jsconf.bsky.social talk last month. It was only proper to give this the long-form treatment it deserves.
🌐 For immediate release, from my desk to your device...

it was. in early conversations with my editors they were suspicious that the joke would land. i insisted
honestly it was better live, with confusion in all. If YOU cannot land it well, gosh knows how the community will navigate.
Well enough. I rambled a bit because I was off script, but no one said I bombed it lol. So that's good. Now I hope we can get the folks at @github.com to put a pause on next months changes for @npmjs.bsky.social publishing. 🤞
Hahahhahahha.
There are two other known typos, not intentionally. These hardware bugs are harder to patch!
