"web joy" — the joy you experience when visiting a website with joyful content and/or have a joyful experience (as a user) on a website, or the joy of creating such a website. During the beyond tellerand conference this past week, someone mentioned “responsive web design” and having just completed IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf, the thought popped in my head that joyful web design should be a named thing, since many of us spent the weekend at IndieWebCamp doing just that. I mentioned it to @jamesg.blog at a break between talks, we discussed it a bit and agreed that joy is a good motivator, and as creatives we both like creating things that are joyful to experience, and ideally joyful to create. James blogged it before I got around to it: https://jamesg.blog/2026/05/01/joyful-web-design That and a zoom chat today was inspiration to name that specific joyful experience “web joy”. It’s a nod to “moon joy”, a mere weeks old phrase many have heard and been inspired by, coined by Mission Control science officer Angela Garcia, and transmitted (spoken) by CAPCOM on shift, Jacki Mahaffey, in reply to the Artemis II astronauts on mission (as noted in a NASA AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/nasa/comments/1stjt7m/comment/ohw9g9l/). You can hear the “Copy, moon joy.” expression in context at the start of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHUvedAssyE Much thanks to James for his encouragement to blog “web joy”. #webjoy #btConf #beyondTellerrand #webDesign #IndieWebCamp #indieweb

@NASA.gov has lots of short Artemis videos on their YouTube channel (@NASA@YouTube.com), however this 10h10m video of the Artemis II lunar flyby appears to be the closest to a continuous long-form recording of the live stream during that period. https://youtu.be/z-j1uxBmis0 After almost 14 minutes of intro footage, this live recording has some amazing moments in context such as when the Integrity crew named the two craters on the moon, the forty minute “Loss of Signal” (LoS) as Integrity went behind the moon, came back out, then into a solar eclipse, and of course all the very efficient (and competent) communications between the astronauts and Mission Control (with video of both). And quotes like Christina's “We do not leave Earth. We choose it.” Lots of long durations of silence as well. Fitting for a recording of video from space. Also great for putting on in the background while working. The crew comms with control competency alone is inspiring. Note: the #NASA and #SpaceflightNow YouTube livestreams I linked to five days ago are now only displaying the message: “This live stream recording is not available.” a different kind of Loss of Signal. #liveStream #Artemis #Artemis2 #ArtemisII #Integrity #Moon #Earth #Houston #MissionControl #competent #competency

NASA Artemis II live stream update: Spaceflight Now has the raw feed of Houston and Integrity comms and video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8m9YdxgJ5g The official NASA live stream (posted previously), has switched to a NASA spokesperson and interviews of folks on the sea/ground as part of splashdown recovery operations. Choose your live stream: * Houston, space, and astronauts talking: https://youtu.be/M8m9YdxgJ5g * Spokespeople/interviews talking: https://youtu.be/m3kR2KK8TEs or pull them both up on separate side-by-side monitors like they have on the desks at Mission Control. About an hour left til splashdown! #NASA #liveStream #Artemis #Artemis #Artemis2 #ArtemisII #Integrity #Earth #Houston #MissionControl #SpaceflightNow
