I’m here by Elmine WijniaElmine Wijnia (IN FULL FLOW)

I’m in Copenhagen. I didn’t think it was possible, but we crossed two borders without issues. There were border controls into Denmark, and even though we weren’t picked out of the line, it was good we took the mandatory covid test. The Man drove us across two bridges to get us on the right island

I Created The Best-Ever Pomodoro Timer, Just For You 🍅 by Clive Thompson (Medium)

So a while ago, I started using the “Pomodoro Technique”, where you set a timer for 25 minutes, and keep on working until the time is up. It worked pretty well — the Pomodoro creates an artificial…

Facebook onboards another 31 newsletter writers on Bulletin by Amanda Silberling (TechCrunch)

Late last month, Facebook announced Bulletin, its newsletter platform. Unlike Substack, Medium and other competitors, Bulletin hand-picks its writers to curate a more controlled platform, with stars ranging from Mitch Albom, whose book “Tuesdays with Morrie” continues to break hearts in seventh grade English classes, to Queer Eye’s Tan France, who taught a generation of […]

Ze gaan hard daar in Menlo Park. Bulletin, de nieuwsbriefdienst van Facebook, begon met drie auteurs. Inmiddels is dat vertienvoudigd. Nog altijd kun je niet als particulier je eigen nieuwsbrief starten. Wat toch vreemd is voor een netwerk dat als doel heeft “mensen dichter bij elkaar te brengen”… ja dat bedoel ik ironisch.

Exclusive: Substack makes first major podcast investment by Sara Fischer (Axios)

Een boeiende volgende stap van Substack. Ze hebben een tumultueus jaar achter de rug maar gaan onverminderd door om hun platform uit te breiden. Ik vind de combinatie audio en email zeker interessant. De opmerking van de Substack oprichters dat ze geloven in de kracht van email en RSS doet me goed. Ze bouwen aan…

Rules of a Creator’s Life by Wouter GroeneveldWouter Groeneveld (brainbaking.com)

I initially wrote down these rules in my second notebook on the 23th of April in 2012. I came across them a second time in a more recent notebook. To me, these rules must somehow be more than simply appealing. Do more than you’re told to. Try new things. Teach others about what you know. Make work…

We can circumnavigate and map out the world.
We can put humans on the surface of The Moon.
We can zoom out to a black hole, or into a single atom.
We can peer inside a live human body.
We can create computers more powerful than the Space Shuttle that fit in our pocket.
We can break down physical bar…

Europe’s Software Problem – Bert Hubert’s writings (Bert Hubert’s writings)

Europe’s communication needs are currently almost exclusively delivered by Chinese hardware that connects us to US-based platforms. For a variety of reasons, this is not a good idea.
As stated recently by Charles Michel, President of the European Council, “Interdependence is natural, even desirable. Over-dependence, however, is not”.
Photo by Sara Kurfeß on Unsplash
At the core, the problem is that almost no consumer-oriented platforms or software products are being created in Europe, or more precisely, by European companies.

The Tower of Babel: How Public Interest Internet is Trying to Save Messaging and Banish Big Social Media by Cory Doctorow (Electronic Frontier Foundation)

This blog post is part of a series, looking at the public interest internet—the parts of the internet that don’t garner the headlines of Facebook or Google, but quietly provide public goods and useful services without requiring the scale or the business practices of the tech giants. Read our…

Een duidelijke uitleg hoe vrije communicatie tussen ons wordt gehinderd door de private belangen van derde partijen. The public interest internet is giving us tracking-free alternatives, interoperable services, and tools that put user needs and human thriving before "engagement" and "stickiness.”

Ik zag de berichten al langs komen van Brandon die probeerde om de software van Dave aan elkaar te knopen en voor hemzelf werkend te krijgen. Met doorzettingsvermogen, vragen stellen en gewoon dingen proberen is het gelukt. Te gek. Zo maak je je eigen plek op het web. Publiek. En met kleine stapjes.

Reply to Chris on Differentiating online variations of the Commonplace Book

Differentiating online variations of the Commonplace Book: Digital Gardens, Wikis, Zettlekasten, Waste Books, Florilegia, and Second Brains by Chris AldrichChris Aldrich (boffosocko.com)

A fluorescence of note taking tools
Over the past three or so years there has been a fluorescence of digital note taking tools and platforms.
Some of these include:
Open source projects like Org Mode, Logseq, Foam, Jupyter, Trilium, Databyss, Athens, Dendron, Anagora, and Hypothes.is.
Closed sourced…

A great collection and short history of the notetaking space and commonplace book. Again, a topic worth exploring for me. But I’m afraid it ends up another rabbithole with tons of sideways and ideas. I’m most interested in the intersection of notetaking tools, blogging culture, indieweb technology and personal communication. For instance, this note is…

Dianoetic – Homebuilding

Homebuilding by Mrs. DMrs. D (dianoetic.me)

At the beginning of this week, I had some time off. Today I have a shiny new website, the #indieweb community to chat with, and a few precious hours left to dedicate to such indulgences. After today I shall be grasping at minutes. Time evaporates and leaves behind the dry stark evidence of our fleeting interests.

“Independence on the web is a paradigm shift. A way of thinking about your identity online. It’s the zeitgeist of the last, and the next, Internet age. A separate, but collectively mighty, group of people who believe in the importance of their thoughtful independence and just happen to be willing to pioneer the tools to…

Bridgy to POSSE to your old silo.
Mix with community for sugar and spice,
and enjoy owning your web paradise!
