Thursday, February 20, 2025 Yes it's me I'm the pride of Cucamonga . # I'm starting to use the rewrite of my thread publisher on Bluesky. Here's an example . And here's the version of the thread without being broken up into 300-character chunks (you can get it by clicking in the metadata box below the text of the post). I don't like it. The software is as good as it can be, given the extreme limits of the twitter-like environment. I went all the way with this, but I'm not sure I'm going to release it. But I'm going to keep using it, and maybe I'll think of something that makes it fun or worthwhile, or maybe I'll just chalk it up to another learning experience. # Favorite part of the SNL50 show. Eddie Murphy impersonating Tracy Morgan, while standing next to him on Black Jeopardy . It's really hard to see the resemblance between today's Eddie and young Eddie, but there it was, the comic brilliance. Then they ask ...

Wednesday, February 19, 2025 I don't like social networks as they're currently configured. The idea that it's some kind of conversation -- no it really doesn't resemble a conversation. I would like to try a social network that didn't have the concept of replying to a post. Give each other a little more distance. It still would be a graph, people following other people, but you wouldn't be able to insert something into someone else's flow, which is where all the indecency comes from imho. Or let replies be only visible to the person it's in reply to, so you don't end up getting speeches under your posts. And so that people with a lot of followers don't bother reading anything that's related to what they wrote, and thus no new ideas can enter the flow. We've been doing this, the way we do it, since the inception of Twitter in 2006. For some reason the design of that network is considered sacred. I was a math major who studie...

Read this on my blog Hey! I hope you're having a wonderful week. Where I'm living in Waterloo, we've already had 140 cm of snow this February. That's almost as much snow in the last 3 weeks as we usually get in an entire winter. I'm so tired from shoveling snow 🥲 This week I've been working on the lesson outlines for Mastering Nuxt while we get a new design done for the app that we build in the course. And as always, I've got some tips and articles for you! — Michael 🔥 Flatten Nuxt Content Routes I wanted to organize my blog content into several folders: Articles: content/articles/ Newsletters: content/newsletters/ By default though, Nuxt Content would set up these routes to include those prefixes. But I want all of my routes to be at the root level: Articles: michaelnthiessen.com/my-latest-article Newsletters: michaelnthiessen.com/most-recent-newsletter We can do this manually for eac...

Tuesday, February 18, 2025 Threads in Bluesky # I started out doing a week to strip blue.threadcenter down to its bones, for a fresh start, but then I started getting ideas, and decided to go for it. I have the time, and Bluesky is having moment after moment and these days I'm using it to the exclusion of pretty much everything else, though I do check Twitter, Threads and Mastodon a few times a day, but usually there's nothing for me in those places. Anyway I'll be pointing to this post from some of my experiments, so maybe nothing more interesting than this will appear here. # An example of AI use # I just thought of a good example of a question you could bring to ChatGPT. Here's the prompt. # I'm thinking of driving from NYC to Jacksonville, FL. I want to do it in four days with stopovers in three places that have good places to ride a bike and a Citibike-style bike rental. Choose three places on the trip...

Monday, February 17, 2025 This is how the US government used to describe slaves. # Slow down please # If I were in charge of marketing for the Democrats: 1. I'd restart the online channel that Kamala Harris had that was shut down on Election Day. 2. I'd get out the message over and over about how things are going too fast, we need to slow it down, so we can consider what's happening. Who? The people. I know this will resonate with almost everyone in the US, no matter who they voted for. Stop I want to know how these changes will help or hurt me, my family, community. For Trump voters, it was fun to make my statement, but I'm afraid this is going too far. I think we can all relate to that. We aren't being represented here. # I asked Google Gemini to visualize what it feels like to be watching what's happening in the US from inside the US. This came close to capturing it, but it could have expressed the fear of it more clearly. S...
