I have to say that aside from a few things* this is what I consider the perfect blog design in terms of structure, styling, layout. * use of HTML tables, month-first dates
I'm curious; why do you feel HTML tables are bad?

#12I love this! Is there a larger technologist wiki from which you can learn the principles of how to actually build everything from raw materials and generic tools? Examples: casting iron, making blades, making paint, making plastics, making printer ink, making pharmaceuticals that actually work, etc. It really seems that at this stage in the game we should be able to form "off-grid" villages that actually have a prett…
Each of those products requiring completely different tools, skills and materials.

#13https://simplifier.neocities.org/fluxset.html is very interesting, for example.

#14Funny that the first post sticks out from the rest (a digital project vs. the physical ones). Notably it's more 3x3 a lot of the time. I wonder if the creator also felt like they had to make use of all the 3 pixels of horizontal space for some of these characters. The lowercase "l" is what I'd be using for a "1", with my lowercase "l" being 2 pixels wide, for instance.
Funny enough, I do have a 4x8 pixel RGB display, which frustrates me because I've long thought of 5x3 as the only viable tiny font. I might get more use out of it with this 4x4 font.

Not a single condensed source, but there's an abundance of this type of content on Youtube, from both hobbyists and professionals.
.. who makes their money monetizing the content of others.
I respect this guy for staying off the commercialized hosting site and having such a simple, functional website. That is even before my kudos to his work toward duplicating technology from the ground up, and then documenting both success and failure. The latter is something many programmers, including myself, tend to defer until the end of time.

I thought the 4x4 grid was an odd choice, especially when calling it the "smallest" font. 5x3 is one fewer pixel of area per character, and about 10x more legible IMO.
