This post by @ia.net reminds me of a quote I used to have permanently written on the top of the whiteboard in my office:
The only intuitive interface is the nipple. Everything else is learned.
— Bruce "Tog" Tognazzini
My favorite quote from the interview is:
Design requires a willingness to make a fool of yourself by asking outrageous and offensive questions and to be amazed at things that seem perfectly normal to other people.
'Wherever you get your podcasts' is a radical statement.
Speaking of #RSS, I love this piece by @anildash.com.
I've always wondered if one of the biggest differences in adoption between podcasts and text-based RSS feeds is that "podcast" has a catchy ring to it, and "really simple sindication" does not. Neither does "RDF site summary". It makes me further wonder if @textcasting.org (by @scripting.com) is more important as (re-)branding for text-based RSS feeds than it is as an actual new standard.
I've been looking for good resources to introduce people to #RSS and this looks like a great one by @interconnected.org!

I've thought about this @stephango.com blog post at least once per week for the last ~18 months.
Just added this to my inspired by hall of fame.

I still haven't used @htmx.org, but I've read the #HyperMedia book and I'm a big fan of their ideas and where the project is headed overall. 🚀
This is hands-down my favorite craft cocktail website. 🍹
More like fast trashion, amirite? :sweat_smile:
Keep it on the markdown-low
First post with my custom #markdown parser.
Here's a little sample code block to show off the <code> syntax highlighting.

Just started reading "Filterworld", by @kylechayka.com, and it starts with a picture from one of my favorite Wikipedia pages of all time. I think I'm gonna like this book!
TIL about the #HTML <base> element!

As soon as you have 20 minutes to spare, I encourage you to go watch this short film about Sally Schmidt, produced by Oscar® award winning documentary filmmaker Ben Proudfoot, for the @nytimes.com1.
Speaking of restaurants, Sally started a little establishment you might have heard of called The French Laundry. 🤌

I can't remember the last time I read a book from front to back1, but I am a voracious reader. The thing is, I prefer to read "the internet" instead of books.
At some point early on in my internet journey I discovered #RSS and I immediately fell in love2.
My RSS feed became like my own personal newspaper, where I was the curator.
I could add and remove columnists blog feeds as my interest graph would change over time.
I was one of the many3 who decried the death of Google Reader.
RSS lives on, but it's not as ubiquitious as it once was.
Hello, world

Every new blog should start with an obligatory "hello, world" — so here I am doing just that.

Every one had one post."
My experience with blogging has generally rhymed with the experience a former co-worker of mine had who said "I've started seven different blogs. Every one had one post." – Derek Newsom.
Something feels different this time, but only time will tell.
