Nicholas’s newsletter link saving workflow is interesting. I’m not currently publishing a newsletter, but it gave me some things to think about as it relates to my own workflow for posting links to my microblog (or main blog).
Related: I hate managing a separate microblog and probably should just consolidate everything here, especially because unlike most other platforms, micro.blog supports titleless posts, which is huge.
One of my biggest pet peeves when I come across a thing on the web that references another thing, often with a screenshot, with no link to the thing and zero attribution. It’s such a colossal dick move. And it’s lazy AF. Hanlon’s razor, I guess.
I had to drive east at an unreasonable hour, which meant I had some time to listen to a podcast. I’m so glad I listened to the Dissect episode, featuring Rob Markman, celebrating the 10-year(!!) anniversary of one of the greatest albums ever, Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly. Incredible episode!
TIL there is a 6-hour time-stretched version of Brian Eno’s Ambient 1: Music for Airports
VERY cool post on building a personal digital music library. Wowzers.
Can you imagine if your car started serving you ads at stoplights?!
My daughter came to me super stressed about a couple of tests she has tomorrow – science and Latin. I asked why she was so stressed and she explained that it was a lot of information and she was having trouble studying. I had her send me the study guide, which I exported as a PDF, uploaded to ChatGPT, engaged the voice interface and asked it to go over the concepts in the study guide with her and then quiz her on the information. Thirty minutes later, her stress was gone, she understood the concepts and was able to talk about them in conversation. Pretty cool.
Meredith Whittaker, President of Signal was interviewed by Guy Kawasaki at SXSW. I thought it was great.
Spending some time with Neil’s Oceanside Countryside album today. It’s a lazy Sunday album.
