From The Internet Is About To Get Weird Again by Anil Dash.
I love the idea of building a world, not an audience. I just discovered Kening Zhu via Rachel Kwon.
My love affair with Beeper was intense and short. It has ended. Deleted my account. The Apple Messages integration was so intermittent, and I quickly grew tired of having to toggle notifications and rearrange my iPhone home screen.
The other night I was particularly cranky about WordPress.com’s annoying prompts to upgrade on top of how convoluted, messy and slow their admin interface is. I was kicking myself for moving from self-hosted to hosted because I couldn’t install a plug-in because I wasn’t paying enough. So I did what any nerd does. First I complained about about it on a social network, then I spun up and configured an Ubuntu instance on Vultr (great service BTW), set up a new A record and successfully installed Ghost on my first attempt with a little help from ChatGPT.
Mike Maskick has a great post on Substack doubling-down on hosting Nazis.
Curious who has migrated from WordPress to Micro.blog with thousands of posts. I’d like to do it, but a little scared 😬

Talk paper scissors, anyone?
I have the always wonderful Dense Discovery to thank for introducing me to the weird art of Tim Andraka.
I love Seth’s idea of personal process notation. I’ve been doing more of this sort of thing lately.
