Clean starts for the web
The web’s evolution over the last decade has mirrored the American economy. All of the essential indicators are going “up and to the right,” a steady stream of fundamental advances reassure use that there “is progress,” but the actual experience and effects for individuals stagnates or regresses.
Some really interesting thinking about what's needed to make the web work well for actual people again. -

You know it's a bad day when you log into LinkedIn twice.

Ghoul's new track is a catchy song about a cool tank that runs over Nazis.

Hey, so there's a new episode of Small Findings. It's about cultures without surnames, this weird 3D shape, and Lenin's surprising interest in state capitalism.
The speaking pace is too slow, but I think, not enough to be distracting. Sometimes, I'll redo segments after listening back to them, but for something like this, I gotta put it out there as-is, or I'll release even less that one episode per month.
Someday, when I feel I have killer content, I'll place a higher standard on my delivery. -
I’ve been able to chug along for the past few weeks without caring too much about it, but I had an afternoon in which I had a hard time doing it because I just don’t think it’ll matter.
I have been looking for other jobs for months, but they all just seem even worse in one way or another. I really need to come up with viable business idea that serves a real user need that I actually am interested in doing. -

Like many kids his age, the guy is reading whole (non-chapter) children’s books he’s never read before, entirely on his own. Also, random clauses from stuff I read.
Even though it’s something nearly everyone does, it is amazing to see someone go from tapping out sounds to comprehending whole previously locked worlds. -

Wily pursued a fly yesterday. And then ate it.

Spending the morning at the park. After adjudicating some kid drama, it’s been chill. On one hand, I kinda feel like I should have a laptop with me being productive because time for my own stuff is so short. On the other, downtime is probably good for my brain.

I had a product idea, and Amin happened to find a product that sounded exactly like my product idea. So, I was like, aw dag, they did it first, and I instantly put it aside.
I happened to get curious again, and I just tried it now, and it's not what I was thinking at all. They are thinking of the same problem as me but are not coming anywhere close to solving it. Still, part of the experience is very similar to what I'd have done, and it is lacking. So, it was helpful to get a glimpse of how my approach would have problems, too. -
36-minute run, 11 pull-ups. The weather made it feel easy and that made me think I was going fast. There’s no correlation between how hard the run feels and how fast I’m going, it seems.
