I feel pretty good about the iPad line now, though I remain unsold-to because my M2 iPad Pro trade-in depends on whether the iPad Pro can run macOS before the next iPad mini update comes out.

Screens VNC for visionOS just dropped, and it really changes some things in my life, logistically speaking

I just discovered that ReadWrite has been sold yet again. This time the owner is ClickOut Media, which also owns Techopedia. I only found out because someone from said company emailed trying to hire me for Techopedia, clearly having no idea I founded ReadWriteWeb! I took a look at the latest version of RW and was dismayed to see the "featured content"... Sigh.

@ricmac Who would have covered the gambling beat back in my day, do you reckon (Dan Rowinski, obviously)

Giving @Flipboard another spin, since it’s a big supporter of the . It’s also a survivor…I remember covering it on ReadWriteWeb when it launched (or maybe that was a post by @jon?). Either way, here’s my mag, if you’re a Flipboard user: https://flipboard.com/@ricmac/internet-history-e041t55qz

@ricmac @Flipboard I don’t think I was on the Flipboard beat right when it came out, but I definitely picked it up and covered it as long as I was there. Anything in the “reading on iPads” category has always been bait for me. And then I ended up working with @miaq later, and now here we all are. Flipboard is intertwined with my destiny.

@miaq @ricmac @Flipboard Yeah @evan was recently asking this question. I was unable to pick my head up off of my desk for days afterwards.

@evan @miaq @ricmac @Flipboard Well, that is definitely true from the point of view I always assumed when liaising with participants who wanted software things to happen, which was, “Your best bet is to make it, go viral for it, get everyone using it, and then we’ll have to go along with it.”

@evan @miaq I assure you Center Camp is still there. Death Guild probably is, too, but it’s probably run by Millennials now

@evan @miaq See the problem is, I think they’re all using like Asana and whatnot. Burning Man requires pivot tables now

@evan @miaq I might have spoken too soon https://journal.burningman.org/2024/04/black-rock-city/participate-in-brc/recentering-the-heart-of-brc/
