Given that it’s now the middle of August, I think that a July release is looking less and less likely by the day.

🔗 Micro Monday is back (after a ’short’ pause.)
I guess in the overall scheme of the cosmos sure - ‘short’ works 😉
A great way of showcasing this little corner of the internet - still sitting in my Overcast feed - despite the passing of 4 years.
I knew it would comeback. One day.
It has.

Apple likes to say that music is part of its DNA. I suggest they schedule some genetic counselling.
I agree, though I have never managed to articulate the prescription so succinctly.

This one from Evan Shapiro - who after producing 6 annual flat files of - well to be honest - interesting - but not very useful insights into the media landscape has just outdone himself.
Scott Brinker should do the same - similar idea in a different space - but 🔗 this one has been going now for 15 years!
‘Content’ is homogenous undifferentiated fodder that is poured into silos with pricing you would expect from any interchangeable commodity .. if that describes your writing, it might explain why nobody values it.

Thought I’d take a look at Plume. Some shenanigans to get my blog to approve Plume - or the other way round - but twe got there - and this is my first post. Lets see where this goes.
Email was supposed to be an open, decentralized protocol. Instead, a handful of monopolies have effectively privatized deliverability: they decide whose mail is trustworthy, whose isn’t, and independent servers are guilty until proven innocent.

I just looked at: valid.rss.chat for john.philpin.com - and no dice …

He apparently wants to do this because he once talked to a catapult operator who told him the old kind was better.
“Lasting innovation is built on connections.”
So true … across;
industries ➕ sectors ➕ geographies ➕ disciplines
and time … continuously ➕ continually … so that we keep in mind that we are in a marathon - not a sprint.
