When the coffee shop recognizes me and remembers my regular order, it's gonna be a good day. ☕️
Wasn’t expecting this kind of profound wisdom from the apartment sales guy today: “The world is too big to stay in one place.”
Writing some new web page text and maybe it's early in the morning or maybe I watched too much of the news already today, but when I tried to type "independent" I misspelled it and it auto-corrected to "indictment". 🇺🇸
Finished reading: Age of Myth by Michael J. Sullivan. This was great. Really well paced, seems like a perfect setup for the series. First of six books. 📚
Empty apartment with built-in bookshelves, just one potential future. We’ve been thinking about downsizing ever since all the kids moved out. Change is hard, though.
For folks who have been using Micro.blog bookmarks… First of all, thanks! I'm curious: do we need a workflow for tracking "unread" or "read" articles? I've been wondering if we could do something clever so you could "tag" an article as read, maybe with an emoji or special tag.
Half Price Books flagship store in Dallas. 📚
Frustrated with Dropbox ever since Apple required these sync apps to move to a new official API. Dropbox was rock solid, always working. Now I see frequent Finder errors or refusal to move files around. I know, "security", but from sandboxing to this, not convinced locking down macOS actually helps.
Mystery boxes of records at Josey Records in Dallas, $10 each.
Interesting what @dansup@mastodon.social is up to with a new messaging app called Sup. Early video demo is here. Sounds like it uses Mastodon to connect with users, but Signal protocol instead of ActivityPub for messaging. Meanwhile I still like Nostr's approach to encrypted DMs.
I'm still waiting to see how DMs evolve in the fediverse before deciding what to do with Micro.blog, but one thing I'm sure of: we're not going to have messaging that isn't encrypted. Private replies to Mastodon users (which works now) will remain as a legacy feature, mostly hidden away.
We added a new about page with a little more about what Micro.blog is and what our values are.
I’ve driven by this tower a bunch of times on I-35 and was always curious about it. Turns out it’s an experiment in wireless energy transmission, built in 2017. A century after Nikola Tesla, fascinating that folks are working on this again.
