I have been sharing a number of @genmon’s posts from his blog. Mostly, I just say, you should go read this: Let’s invent new interfaces, not new products.
Yes I will read anything which links to [[Brett Victor]] and his [[Dynamicland]] project:
a physical environment of smart light, human writeable code, and a social interaction with the computer.
I can already tell that having this box be able to teleport into my journal log — without having to cross post it publicly — is going to make me both post more, and tweet less.
Maybe I’ll consider cross posting these [[Journal]] posts to Mastodon.
7 hours of video calls is too many hours of video calls.
There were fun humans on the other side of a number of those hours, but it’s just a lot of screen time.
I’m having one of those days. Reserved a car from Avis. Show up at 8am. I have a paper temporary driver’s license because I just renewed it. “Policy” is to have picture ID, even though I’m on file, I always rent from this location, and the desk clerk and manager both recognize me. So: do I complete this rental and then never rent from Avis again, after 20 years? Probably. It’s policy after all.
