I have a friend who used to sell cars. His pitch was “It’s not about the Miles per gallon, but the Smiles per gallon” About how I feel about the Bluesky trending numbers. I think this social media is about building stronger relationships and that does not always translate to more relationships

I saw a “help needed” sign today on a store window today and I really liked the urgency it was portraying with “needed” instead of “wanted”

Today I found an almost 20 year old article, "Will MySpace ever lose its monopoly?" It was fun to read with how much time and things have changed since. How similar some problems were then to now. But there was at least one problem solved. You can take your social capital with you when you go.

I want to go ahead and apologize to everyone who is going to read my new leaflet and see that I have a hyperlink to explain a fax machine

Kind of surprised no one has done a quotes thing on atproto. Like you post a quote you like from an author, someone, or yourself if you want. People can like it or comment. When you share it shows a nice little open graph image . Same with one for poems. I guess blog sites counts a bit for both.

It would be crazy if I combined Svelte and Vue on my personal site, right?

All our best memories Were bought and then turned into apartments The club with all the hardcore shows Now just a greyscale Domino's

If you had a chance to listen to me talk for a bit about atproto stuff workshop styled, what would you like to hear? Trying to get some ideas for something. - Deep dive into how migrations work? - Some layer of the PDS? - All of Hayley William's Nashville references in her last album?

The Winds of Winter is what I want, but words are wind 🥲

A fun read 19 years later. One point was "Users have invested so much social capital in putting up data about themselves it is not worth their changing sites." www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Welcome to the “all my meals are cold or from the microwave because I’m not turning on the oven” time of year. Got the temperature in both flavors for everyone

Not sure how sabbaticals work, or I guess not work? But I bet that's fun not to work for a few months

About 5 years ago I started doing pour over coffee. Bought a hand grinder, kettle, and a v60 dripper. Was really peaceful to wake up and have a little manual ritual. Decided to get an electric grinder last year to make it easier. This year I wimped out and got a fancy pour over machine.

Be crazy if someone wrote an OPDS server in rust that used iroh to sync books to it and then ran the optimize on it so the books load easier on the Xteink device. ha. real crazy.
