Lloyd on approaching 20 years of blogging:

I’ve definitely put in a few “10,000 hours”—probably on multiple aspects of creating social media. And by “social media” I just mean media that is social, not just the microblogging, photo-sharing, social network platforms that people think of now. I’ve been doing this for twenty years, man. If I have to point to something I can’t stop doing, it’s writing silly stories on the internet.

Manuel Moreale on a better web:

That is the web I’m arguing for. A web that is intentional, where what you consume is curated by you and you alone, where connections with others happen because you made the conscious effort to connect.

MarsEdit 5 is here. Still no Ghost support, but looking good for my other blogging. And yes, this is my first post using it.


I am happy to report that you can now get my witterings from my notebook as a (free) weekly email.


I wonder what would happen if I just started posting on a neglected blog, and saw what happened?

Oh, Wix websites are a pain. They have a “blog” section, they even publish RSS feeds - but they don’t set up auto-detect properly, so you have to know where the feed lives before you can subscribe. (It’s at /blog-feed.xml)

Plenty of people enjoying the waves down at the Beach today.
