I spent some time figuring out what I’d like ronnie.fyi to look like and, ultimately, went back to a Figma layout I’d come up with about a year ago. It’s simple, but I like it. Until I don’t.
I’ll keep this post pinned to the top of the homepage for a while and make a note of anything new I add.
For example, I’ve just added an RSS feed. Go add it to Google Reader an RSS reader of your choice.
Kottke.org recently posted a link to an archive of the NME magazine, found on the Internet Archive site.
Scotland’s very own The List magazine has a similar archive, linked to from their own website, at list.co.uk/magazine-archive.
Both magazines were a staple as a teenager, although it was only as a slightly older, pub-visiting teen that I started to read The List as frequently.
Since around the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result of resulting financial issues, The List is now an online only magazine. And it only currently exists as a result of a successful crowd funder, relaunching in 2022.
I wouldn’t call it an unqualified success, but the new SNL UK was much better than I thought it would be. I really enjoyed the weirdness of George Fouracres’ show closer.

Jesse David Fox for Vulture sat down earlier this year for an 90-minute conversation with Nate Bargatze, and writers Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell. They talked about one of the most popular Saturday Night Live sketches in recent years, “Washington’s Dream”.
I’m a big Bargatze fan, so I’ll watch pretty much anything he appears in but this is a super-detailed insight into how it was brought together over the course of an SNL week by Day, Seidell and the rest of the crew.
I should say, if you’ve not seen the sketch, you should probably watch it first. Then watch Washington’s Dream 2.
