I really hope to see other cities across the country take the same stance. This is real progress.
Seattle Vacates Hundreds of Marijuana Charges Going Back 30 Years
These wallpapers by The Verge are really nice. As much as I read The Verge, I don’t think I ever realized they did this. Cool of them to release the art.
Incredible! I’m such a sucker for stuff like this.
Such a huge bummer. Digg Was Just Bought By An Ad-Tech Company Called BuySellAds. Outside of RSS, what are the sites you all visit on a daily basis?
One Great Read 0005 - This Must Be David Byrne
The following was sent to subscribers of One Great Read, an email newsletter I send out periodically. Check out the archives and subscribe if you would like to receive them via email in the future.
Looking at the list of subscribers, I think I know most of you personally. I’m also pretty sure most of you are music nerds, or at least music lovers. In my mind, if you fall into either category, you are undoubtedly a David Byrne fan. I mean, really, how could you not be? Over the weekend we watched the Coachella stream on YouTube and thankfully caught David Byrne’s incredible performance. He’s not only timeless, he’s still extremely relevant, creative and infinitely talented. If you didn’t catch him last weekend, make it a point to watch him this weekend. In the mean time GQ posted a long read on him worth your attention.
I’m taking a break from dealing with my browser tabs. It’s completely out-of-control insane. I’m making progress, but I have a lot more ot go through. Almost every time I close a tab without doing something, I command-shift-t to open the tab back up and bookmark it in Pinboard. I have over 30,000 bookmarks in Pinboard, dating back to the early aughts thanks to del.icio.us. I’m a digital packrat hoarder, but it really does come in handy for recalling information. My rule is simple - if I think there’s a chance I might want to refer back to it later, I bookmark and tag it. Tagging is essential. It’s not something one goes back to do. If you don’t tag things going in, well, good luck to you.
Got a few of the hike club back together for a hike in Solstice Canyon.
I think SmugMug buying Flickr is a good thing. Feels like a great place for them to land. I haven’t posted anything to Flickr in a long long time, but my account remains.
