Sprinter Van Phone Mount + Better CarPlay-Compatible Cable Situation
This is the stock look of my 2021 Sprinter van front console area: If it’s not obvious, there’s no great place for a phone. You’ve got the cup holders. Those are actually sorta workable, except for this boss battle: wired-only CarPlay. Wired CarPlay is not ideal, but that’s all this van has. I expect upgrading the whole system would be super expensive or potentially not even possible. Wired isn’t that bad. Wired CarPlay means more immediate response from a...
The New Van
I got something I’ve wanted for years and years! A camper van! I’m a camper van guy now! It’s a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and even more technically a Winnebago Revel. I scoured Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and RV-specific sites for a long time drooling over these things. I’ve rented a half dozen of them on Ourdoorsy over the years. I’ve borrowed friends. So I feel like I knew what I wanted and I knew the specific price range I could go, so it took a little...
Social RSS (?)
What’s up with this? I’d like to see an explicitly social-forward RSS reader. Like it’s encouraged to highlight passages and leave short comments. Your buds see yours, you see your buds.— Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier.net) 2026-03-10T14:30:12.200Z The spirit, of course, is “I want my Google Reader back.” I should be careful though: I imagine if we really did have it back exactly as it was, it would probably not be as cool as we remember. That was a long-ass time...
Did your editor font go default serif on WordPress 7.0?
Mine did. Like this: so meta. I guess WordPress 7.0 assumes you are using a theme.json file these days. I’m not doing that yet on any of the sites I work on. If you want to embrace that future, you could add a theme.json file to the root of your theme, and put some typography basics only in there: { "$schema": "https://schemas.wp.org/trunk/theme.json", "version": 2, "settings": { "appearanceTools": true, "layout": { "contentSize": "720px" }, "typography"...
When Sites Need to Walk Away
The Internet Archive has a new book: VANISHING CULTURE. (Digital copy is free.) According to a Pew Research Center report, 26% of pages from 2013-2023 are no longer accessible. But that’s not the whole story. In a new study published in Internet Archive’s book, VANISHING CULTURE, data scientists working with the Wayback Machine have found: 16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine. 56% are preserved before they disappear. A quarter of pages from the last slightly-more-than...
