🔗 Click Around, Find Out
by JamesClick around. Or tap around. Or do whatever you need to do in the browser of your choice. If we want the indie web to flourish, the very first thing people need to get used to is actually browsing the web again.
We call them web browsers for a reason. You're meant to browse.
My sense is that the recommendation engines for articles has the same flaw as music recommendation engines that gets people stuck in a loop. i.e. When given the option to pick between "everything" you mostly end up visiting the same 5 sites or listening to the same handful of albums because there's too much choice and we can't decide. They try to get you to explore a bit, the recommendation engines don't carry the authority or weight that a friend or blog you might follow, so you're back to the usual rotation in no time.
Want to browse more but not sure where to start? Visit to ooh.directory and start clicking. You're sure to find something of interest. -
The Week #186
by James- 📱 My new headphone jack / switch arrived for my iPod. It was easy to replace, except had the smallest screws known to man. Once everything was put together it worked! Right and left channels work like a charm! I'm excited to be able to carry all of my music with me.
- 🎵 I'm not sure how much longer that will be true as I rebuild my music collection. I can see artifacts of the great iTunes Match subscription cancellation of 2012 as I'm finding folders that I knew were full of music, gone. e.g. I know I had all of the Smashing Pumpkins albums.
- 😫 It was a rough week with Leo. For some reason he's not wanting to go to school any more, so getting out the door is rough. Even going to robot school, something he said he wanted to do, has become a battle. He told the teacher he wants to quit. Thing is, when he's there (at school or robot school) he has a good time according to all. Maybe he knows my business trip is coming up and clinging because of that? If not, I hope this is just a phase and it ends soon.
- 🏃♂️ On the good Leo news front, he we running with me again. He wants to go further and further...but I think we need to work on not stopping for our current runs. At school he wrote a map of where we're going to run and of course it includes a Triforce from Zelda 😆.
