A weekly recap of the articles and posts I’ve read that I think are worth your time.
- Pentax ME – Down the Road — Some lovely photos, but the camera itself is one my Dad had (I’m 98% sure). I can FEEL it, I can HEAR it. Ohhh aren’t memories odd things.
- Apple CEO Tim Cook’s Legacy Is Dull Products And Spineless Capitulation — Hard to disagree with any of this.
- Home | A Concrete Garden — A very low-tech website that may not be there when you visit, if it’s not been sunny enough…
- SlashFriends | Michael Harley — I have thoughts about this. Not sure I agree. Maybe I used blogrolls differently ‘back in the day’?
- Small World – Futility Closet — This type of thing melt my brain. Aren’t they fascinating!
- Free writing – Isaac Su — Gamifying writing is an interesting way to practice. Might be worth a look.
- Premier League money has lost all meaning amid chaotic spectacle of excess | Transfer window | The Guardian — It’s obscene. Think of all the good uses some of that money could be put to. Yet we will still watch the sport, and forget about the ludicrous, disgusting amounts of money.
- The Silo · interactive 3D cutaway — Wow! Even if you aren’t watching the show, give this a look!
- Dolly Parton’s Unique Feminist Power, as Told by Gloria Steinem (January 1987) – Ms. Magazine — Timely piece. Gloria Steinem was a powerhouse, more people should know who she was.
- Hackers Had A Live Feed Of Every ID This Verification Company Scanned. For Over A Year. | Techdirt — I wrote a little about this already. We are putting a lot of trust in companies who just want to make money…
- Bob and Van – Marco.org — Yes. And no. I think there is a fine line between turning a blind eye and indulging.
- Gloria Steinem’s Final Essay | The New Yorker — Please read this. Final words from a powerful voice.
- Newsonaut: Turning inner space into outer space — Never thought to quantify my reading this way…
- I turn this on when I write blog posts – Jon’s Blog — Sounds like a fun app to try.
- Winnie Lim » running a personal website is not fun anymore — I do wonder what my site experience will be like in the coming years. 20 years on WordPress has always seemed safe (thanks to 34sp.com hosting) but everything changes.
