Every time I draft a post (or toot or tweet or..) where I’m going to hate on something, I usually just delete it. Nine times out of ten, I’m just complaining. Trying to do less of that. But sometimes I have a legit gripe.

Looking forward to being part of the Lonely Writers Club with Austin and everyone else. Timing is everything.
I recently read about Postmarks, which is an effort to create a simple federated bookmarking service. I remixed it on Glitch. The functionality is simple, but I could see this gaining some momentum. I’m going to play around with it a bit, but might move it to it’s own subdomain.
Swipewipe looks really great and solves a big problem, but I am soooooooooo sick of subscriptions. I’ve been cancelling many that I don’t use enough to justify the expense.
I had to turn off cross-posting from Mastodon. The lack of hyperlinking was too bothersome. I will just copy/paste from here when I want to cross-post. It should kind of all start from here anyway.
Sad to see that The Dream Weaver, Gary Wright has died. Even more sad to see that he had Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia. Back in the Topspin days, I had many interactions with Gary. He was so lovely and curious. He was also an early adopter and pioneer in ways that seem minor in the grand scheme of a NY Times obituary. I experienced him to be curious and embracing of new technologies, especially as music became digitized. He was a notable early adopter of Liquid Audio as an example. As ink is spilled in the coming days and weeks, I hope to see this covered. My sympathies go out to his family, friends and collaborators.

Molly Holzschlag has left us. She also left a dent. What a legend, literally and figuratively.
Russell over at Sweet P Productions has released Cookie 7. Highly recommend his apps overall. Zero hesitation in updating Cookie.
