Junited 2026

Fri 05 June 2026

I rcieved a kind shout-out from Juhis Santala this morning, mentioning my previous blog post regarding the tilde (~) movement key in vi/nvi/vim, and how I tweaked it.

Reading his blog post, I discovered the "Junited" blogging theme, a way of bringing bloggers together for the month of June, which was created by Robert Birming.

I've not been much of a "linkdumper," but I must admit those kinds of posts can be a goldmine for interesting info. Here's some stuff I've discovered just looking around so far (which I will be updating as I'm able throughout the month):

June 5th

  • https://justsketch.me/
    • This is an interesting interactive web app of a poseable doll which can be used by artists to create realistic poses that they would like to draw
  • https://michal.sapka.pl/weblog/2026/onigiri/
    • Michaล‚'s story of making Onigiri takes me back nearly a quarter century to the last time I tried making it. (Hint: you either buy a silicone Onigiri mold, or try shaping it into a vaguely rounded-triangle shape with your hands, but (IIRC) wet your hands first, so the rice doesn't stick to them.) It's a fun read :)

    • Joel's a good FediFriend, and his weeknotes are always interesting. I might say I'm impressed that he remembers his weeks at all, my short-term memory is kind of futzed ๐Ÿ˜†
  • More to come (hopefully) daily! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Check back here for more
