🔗 You should take more screenshots
If you do any sort of creative digital work, screenshots and screen recordings are a great way to remember it.
That was part of the reason why I started writing archive pages for my projects a while back. I used to have screengrabs of my old Mac and Linux desktops floating about somewhere, too, for that extra nostalgia hit. They seem to have disappeared in the sands of time, however. Mostly Digital Blasphemy backgrounds with similar color themed xmms and friends running. -
🔗 What if your website had business hours? — Bobbie Chen
While reviewing the draft, my friend Michael L. pointed out that while most websites are up all the time, some are not - for example, B&H Photo doesn't accept orders on Saturdays for religious reasons. So what if our software business had limited hours instead, like a physical-world store?
I really like this idea. A lot. More businesses should do this and help re-calibrate society to a slower pace of life. -
🔗 Opinion | What Joe Manchin Cost Us
Hold your children close tonight. Leave some water out for the birds. And make a plan to call your elected leaders to demand climate action, to rip out your fossil fuel furnace or to buy an e-bike. The climate crisis is getting worse, and Congress is one vote short of saving us. We’re going to have to save ourselves.
Hard agree. Reminds me, I should email the solar installers, who also do full electrification, how much it would cost to rid us of our gas range and water heater… -
🔗 My awakening moment about how smartphones fragment our attention span
I recently realized that absorbing the constant inflow of information from my smartphone, always readily available in my pocket to capture any free moment of attention, had fragmented my attention span.

🔗 Cool desktops don’t change 😎 - Tyler Cipriani
And while it’s tempting to switch to one of the endless new apps out there, there are good reasons to trust old tools.
I think about this, probably more often than I should, not just with software, but also my trusty mid-2014 MacBook Pro. There's a place and time for new shiny, but it's just so comfortable using tools you're used to.
Worth a read for the photo of his Thinkpad alone. Love the Mastodon (though I'm not a user) sticker that reads "Every tweet feeds the beast!"
