Cleaning up my mental space, one task at a time.
How to make people listen to a two-and-half hour show in 30 seconds.
Forget grammar, maybe we should learn how to speak the language first.
I’m now on app.net and tent.is I understand and largely agree with the principals behind each, but I’m really not sure either will succeed (and if they do, if they’ll provide any use for me). So for now, I’m just hedging my bets and getting in early.
This is my anecdote of the moment, so here it is for posterity. Two weeks ago, I was in a hotel in Terrace. CNN was on in the lobby. And there was a story about this new dance craze sweeping the world. The sound was off, so I couldn’t hear it, but you could see […]
