A Return to Fun open.substack.com/pub/funfun…

A Return to Fun

I disappeared off the face of the earth, no notice, no goodbye. I was in the middle of weekly chronicles, a series on D3.js - and suddenly I was just gone. An explanation and apology is in order.

okay this was a really fun use of JAM that I did not see coming but kind of obvious in hindsight, a Solana compatible chain that doesn't have the centralization and stability problems (and *likely* faster and cheaper but that remains to be seen)

Solana Killer incoming A team of JAM developers is building @polana_network It combines the speed and developer experience of Solana with the interoperability and decentralization of Polkadot JAM. The best of both worlds and the first JAM native product

We're so cooked, chat. This is going to one-shot Facebook Mom turbo normies. They have no idea what's coming. They're about to be gigafried with A5 Wagyu AI slop.

... me to pay that kind of money? What would be WORTH $200 per month to exist, and the only thing I could think about was whatever combo would emerge out of @TheOmniLiberal and @HealthyGamerGG. I have no idea what the hell that would be, but I am sure it would be immense value.

woop, the fff partnership with @augmentcode is now official, the developer AI that I've been using as my primary for the last few months - as part of this I requested some time with @guygr to pick his brain on how the hell one builds a dev AI: youtu.be/LEOSWYlQyVw

I just dropped a new Fun Fun Function video: youtu.be/aAP3m0PyGrY 

Line Plots are Plot Lines 
(a data visualization spoken word 
cover of funfun.email issue #12)
This video is a spoken word spinoff inspired by issue #12 of https://funfun.email, a weekly chronicle by MPJ that is vaguely about data, do subscribe if you like it.

I never anticipated that an episode of such a narrow subject as @d3js_org would be one of my best performing video releases on Fun Fun Function but hey, one can never predict these things and I guess that I am not the only one that is making #dataviz the focus for 2025

Well it seems that recent events make it clear that it is time to move to a new β€œapartment”. I suspect that posts like this aren’t exactly 24k gold in the Twitter algorithm if you catch my drift so please like this to help FFF followers see it.

I must say that I really enjoy writing the funfun.email chronicle on sundays, much more than I thought - it's very liberating to write in flowing text, and it kind of makes me feel like an actual author somehow.

this is the thread where we nominate the most creative, cool, unorthodox and artistic use of flexbox. I MIGHT locate the author of the highest voted nomination and surprise them candid-camera style on Fun Fun Function dressed as a box
