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.

Web magazine design seems to be going through a resurgence.

A branch with several green acorns is surrounded by leaves.

Three dried thistle-like plants with spiky exteriors stand against a blurred green background.

Opening your work emails after 10 days of holiday is terrifying.
