Richard Swift dead at 41. Such a loss for the world. Music will live on. I know he was such a good friend to many. ππ
AI Nationalism by Ian Hogarth came recommended by Yancey.
At a restaurant in Colorado. Two white guys having dinner next to us. One says, “you seen Black Panther?” Other guys says, “Hell no! Do you realize if there was a movie called White Panther, everyone would say it was racist. I’m so tired of the double standard everywhere in our country.” Took everything I had not to call the guy out. If I wasn’t with the family, I probably would have.
Made it to Colorado. So nice to get away.
I guess the thing I’m struggling with is that I use Drafts to write posts, share to Micro.blog app and the post seems to post, but never shows up. Not sure what’s wrong. So then I have to use the WordPress app.
I really wanted to post once on Wordpress and syndicate to micro.blog, but can I also do the reverse - post to micro.blog and syndicate to Wordpress? I just want it to be easier. Maybe I’m doing it wrong?
Having such a frustrating time with Wordpress.com. Been working for weeks now trying to get my self-hosted site transferred over. So much is broken. And the friction of posting through Wordpress to micro.blog is too much. Too many steps.
I’m a soda water snob. This is THE BEST soda water I’ve ever had. I never knew water could be this carbonated.
I just contributed on @theactionnet: LEAF Project for Universal Representation for Unaccompanied Children. Contribute here: actionnetwork.org/fundraisi…
I can’t handle this. It’s just too much. How is this even allowed to happen in our country. It’s unbearable, and I’m just READING about it. Those kids. KIDS!
I largely avoid news. I read long-form analysis mostly. Reading about the barbaric separation of immigrant families, specifically taking kids away from their parents and putting them in what amounts to jails is abhorrent. I feel powerless and heartbroken.Β There are some things you can do though.
Amazon, Microsoft, and Uber are paying big money to kill a California privacy initiative.
Actions speak louder than words. Also, I noticed one big tech company absent from the list.
44 ain’t so bad.
I think the move to wordpress.com is complete. Just one more thing to confirm. This needs to post on micro.blog. I’ll erase it after it does.
Well, I’m now using iOS 12 on my X. Everyone seems to really happy with the stability. We shall see…
Hi, my name is Brad and I’m addicted to browser tabs. I have no idea how many I have open right now. Maybe hundreds. Who says web discovery is dead?
I just moved my blog from self-hosted Wordpress to hosted Wordpress.com. I’m just tired of managing my own hosting stuff. It’s just not something I want to spend any time on anymore.
Suicide is on the rise in America. When I was young a neighborhood boy that we all knew hung himself. My dad sprinted to their house and tried to revive him. Two of my best childhood friends took their own life in their 20s and a close cousin killed himself by setting himself on fire. Depression and mental illness are all around us and many of us have loved ones that are struggling. It’s important we learn how to properly care for them and for ourselves as we do so.
Don’t worry, the future is going to be just fine.
A really great skateboarding physics lesson starring Rodney Mullen. Also just subscribed to the YouTube channel.
One of my favorite bands of all time.
What an aboslute joke. I think this warrants a little more than some “quick thoughts”. Amazon is facilitating the assmbly of a surveillance state. Period. There was no public oversight.
Here’s what the EFF had to say.
I don’t use AWS Lambda to delete my tweets, but I do have a utilty set up that does the same thing. I really enjoyed how Vicky explained her approach and reasoning, which matches closely why I decided to do the same thing.
Watch a hip-hop fan listen to Rage Against The Machine for the first time. I needed this today. So do you.
What a beautiful eulogy forΒ Doug Engelbart, arguably one of the most important people in the history of technology.
My only wish for WWDC is that by some miracle Siri becomes usable.
41 years ago. Talking Heads: 77. Masterpiece.
One of the things I’m still struggling with related to using Micro.blog is that I can’t post as fast. This has been a barrier to me contributing more, but maybe that’s a good thing?
It is so easy to pile on to the news of the day and provide your own knee-jerk response. I do it in my head and that’s where it stays. This shift, especially now that I’m so much more focused on writing and contirbuting positively to the Micro.blog community, has had a positive impact in my life. Feels good.
I still cannot for the life of me figure out why people share their Venmo transactions publicly.
Our mobile location data is no longer private and I can’t help but feel like this genie is never going back in. It also begs the question of whether it matters how much Apple makes privacy important.
Can’t stop listening to the new Pusha-T.
Kinda makes you wonder about all those Alexa devices, eh? Amazon isn’t doing itself any favors. I’m getting rid of mine and I won’t be the only one.
Amazon Teams Up With Law Enforcement to Deploy Dangerous New Facial Recognition Technology
I wrote about my more conscious approach to using technology, which of course included some bits about this amazing community. Let me know your thoughts, even if it’s just about my comma usage. Thank you all for being so welcoming.
I donβt even understand this.
Omβs thoughts on Google Photos vs Apple Photos are pretty spot-on. While Iβm in Appleβs ecosystem and appreciate their focus on privacy, I love Google Photos. I think itβs their best product and Iβm ok with the trade-offs because of how great it is.
It’s been a while since I’ve been on stage and watching myself makes me cringe. Here’s me introducing Endel at Techstars Music Demo Day last week. I love being a mentor in this program. What an incredible class this year!
I’ve been wanting to get my kids' names tattooed on me for a while. After having a bad experience with an artist, I decided to use 99designs.com for one of them and the results are incredible. Can’t wait to show it off, once it’s tattooed on me.
I usually get to Santa Barbara around 7:30am. I walk out the back door of the office to get breakfast. Every time I pass this mirror, I look into it. Sometimes I take a photo.
Stop the madness by Michael Tsai. Love this. I don’t use Safari as my main browser, but if I did…
In celebration of Questlove’s new book, there’s a cool Creative Beats application on Glitch.
This is really terrible for those of us that care about privacy. It’s difficult to get people to switch messaging apps. I imagine a lot of government officials are happy.
WhatsApp founder plans to leave after broad clashes with parent Facebook - The Washington Post
I listened to Kottke on Craig Mod’s excellent podcast, On Margins this morning as I drive to Santa Barbara. Great episode!
These wallpapers by The Verge are really nice. As much as I read The Verge, I don’t think I ever realized they did this. Cool of them to release the art.
I really hope to see other cities across the country take the same stance. This is real progress.
Seattle Vacates Hundreds of Marijuana Charges Going Back 30 Years

Incredible! I’m such a sucker for stuff like this.
Such a huge bummer. Digg Was Just Bought By An Ad-Tech Company Called BuySellAds. Outside of RSS, what are the sites you all visit on a daily basis?
Got a few of the hike club back together for a hike in Solstice Canyon.
I think SmugMug buying Flickr is a good thing. Feels like a great place for them to land. I havenβt posted anything to Flickr in a long long time, but my account remains.
Princeβs original studio version of βNothing Compares 2 Uβ playing over unseen rehearsal footage of Prince & The Revolution from the summer of 1984. Wow.
You thought Cambridge Analytica was scary. Bloomberg just published a long read on Palantir.
The wind really cleared the smog.
Perhaps the single, most essential app on iOS has been updated. Drop what you’re doing and get the new version of Drafts then go read the MacStories review.
Is it only a matter of time before Kottke is on Micro.blog? According to him, blogging is most certainly not dead. I concur.
Downloaded and have been playing around with Maslo a little. Interesting and kinda fun.
Watching Jordan Peele use AI to make Barack Obama deliver a PSA about fake news is pretty fucked up.
Mohamed Bzeek is a hero.
Frank Chimero has a nice, OCD write-up on how he manages music. I’ve been using Spotify more than Apple Music lately and this is exactly the kind of thing I needed to run across today.

I have an email newsletter called One Great Read. Can you guess what it is? I’m about to send out the latest email, so now it a good time to sign up.
I’m a massive fan of the music and culture of Ghostly. They have an awesome new site. Really loving the design. They even have a blog post with the team that did the redesign that was super interesting. I particularly love the catalog numbers and archive feel of everything.
Looks like Samsung is the first big phone manufacturer to make a phone that intentionally does not have Internet connectivity.
The Light Phone 2 looks 100x better.
An awesome album for a Sunday and one of my favorites of 2018. Daniel Averyβs Song for Alpha.
A good read I ran across from Omβs great email newsletter. While everyone is partying and enjoying some great performances, Latinos in the area are living in fear.
π΅ Really enjoying this new DJ Koze. Feels like summer. His Amygdala album is a masterpiece.
I’ve been tweeting since 2006. I’m user 926. A while back I unfollowed almost everyone, set my tweets to expire after 14 days and mostly post links at this point. I’m not going to delete my Twitter account, but I am going to begin posting elsewhere - my own blog.
If you skip Giant Rock when you drive out to the Integratron, youβre doing it wrong. Look it up on Wikipedia.
About to get in the bath.
