Saturday, October 12, 2024 I would switch to any podcatcher that let me edit my subscription list outside their app, because I use that list in different contexts, also because I'd like to share my list with others, and would like that to be a dynamic connection, so I could add feeds as I learn about them, or remove feeds that have stopped updating. Also because there are lots of others, aka influencers who'd like to too. You'd own the market if you did this. # Cynicism isn't always the right explanation. Sometimes people just want to share something good with you, that doesn't necessarily mean they're stupid, maybe they just like you. # The common denominator between journalism, business and politics is that none of them have any respect for people. To rise in influence, money or power you have to give up imagination, and be ruled by cynicism. If you don't believe this, show me a journalist who listens, a business that makes products fo...

Friday, October 11, 2024 Summarizing the last 18 years on the web. Between Twitter and Google Reader, the web was cut into two, and they didn't get along. We may now be on the cusp of fixing that. Why? Because WordPress and Mastodon work with each other in unforeseen ways. We got lucky, because I don't think this was done consciously by the developers of either product. # The web lives in WordPress and Mastodon # I have a morning ritual which begins with breakfast and iced coffee, and my laptop, on the kitchen table, to review the news, sports, whatever. Write a few tweets or share a few links. Usually with WNYC playing in the background until I find something I want to read carefully, then I shout at Alexa to go away. When done, I head upstairs where the work begins, often with a blog post, as I'm writing now, and sometimes with a bit of code, but that usually waits until my brain is warmed up. # But today I had a different assignment. In...

Thursday, October 10, 2024 Quick note about last night's Mets win over Philly . The series is over, the next game on Sunday will be against the winner in the west, either San Diego or Los Angeles. Last night's game was stressful, low scoring, until the Mets star shortstop hit a freaking grand slam home run , and that was all the scoring we needed. The Mets are the hottest team in baseball. It doesn't feel like a long time since 2015 when they got to the World Series before crashing. Who knows how far we'll get this year, honestly -- I'm surprised (and pleased) we got this far. And in the meantime, I caught a tiny bit of last night's preseason game between the Knicks and some other team I don't care about. They have two new stars to add to the roster after losing one star as a free agent, and trading two others for the second new star . All in all, very enticing. New York has some excellent sports teams, which is unusual, because it isn...

Wednesday, October 9, 2024 December 2005: Biloxi/Gulfport after Katrina . # After Katrina I went to New Orleans to see what was left, esp in the areas where there was a 15-25 foot storm surge in coastal Mississippi. If you went inland from the coast for a few miles there was nothing left. No trees, only a few skeletal all-concrete buildings where the beach used to be, otherwise everything destroyed . What you don't necessarily realize that it isn't just 15 feet of water, it's 15 feet of stormy ocean with cars and building debris being pushed around floating in the water. This video on Threads provides a visual illustration of what a 9 foot surge is like. # Summary of my posts about New Orleans in December 2005. # Thanks for all the good wishes re the 30th anniversary of the start of blogging here. It's not the same as it was at the beginning, but it's still pretty good. And to all the friends no longer with us, and there are plenty of the...
