I was browsing around the WordPress blogs and found a new one in German that pointed to something new in blogrolls. It's Matthias Pfefferle, of course -- this time connecting up with the world Manton and I were working on a couple of years ago. Read about it here. He works at Automattic and has done pretty much all the work to connect WordPress to everything he can find, including ActivityPub and AT Proto. I have to swing back to FeedLand and RSS.chat asap, so we can start building together. Not going to miss his window on this stuff.

Get over your ivory library

Audiobooks make stories available to people who are driving, working, visually impaired, dyslexic, exhausted, or who take in spoken information better. Calling them “not real readers” doesn’t protect literature. It turns enjoying books into a purity contest.

I feel dumb a lot of the time when I admit I read something via audiobook, but I really shouldn’t. My attention span is shit so I usually get sidetracked when I try to sit down and crack a book. I do love my Kindle, and I’ve been reading a lot on it lately, but I’ve got a backlog on Libro I need to tend to.

Having a degree does not make you smart. “Caldwell toured the country. He met the leadership and learned about their policies firsthand.

Hace unas semanas comentaba que me planteé reducir la cantidad de apps que usaba para la productividad abrumado por la cantidad de apps de productividad que utilizaba en el día a día.

Russians have a history of miscalculation. “The North saw this as the South drifting apart, both as a separate country and into capitalism. They didn’t want that. And now that the Americans had left, Korea was defenseless. Kim Il Sung asked Stalin for support for an invasion of the south. Stalin was hesitant, but thought:… Read More »Why Did Korea Split?

A test blog post for now.

Writing means you have to refine what's in your head and express it so other people can understand.

Probably just me, but using your own words makes what you want to say more authentic - because it comes from you, it's how you want to express.

การเขียน เป็นการขัดเกลาอย่างหนึ่ง ขัดเกลาสิ่งที่อยู่ในหัวออกมาในรูปแบบที่คนอื่นสามารถเข้าใจได้

อันนี้ส่วนตัวล้วนๆ มองว่า การเขียนที่เป็นการเขียนเอง ในรูปแบบภาษาที่คนเขียนสบายใจที่จะใช้ ทำให้งานเขียนชิ้นนั้นมีความ "จริง" ขึ้น เพราะเป็นสิ่งที่เลือกแล้ว ว่า จะสื่อสารออกมาในรูปแบบนี้

My weekly blog post. Links this week include an auction featuring lots of cat items, a site where you work with others to recreate painting masterpieces one stroke at a time and an ancient musical tribute to a loved one. I have a kitty visitor! I also show off some postcards I bought. Plus, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.
