Whenever I listen to an owner / CEO talk about their company’s culture, I always want a follow up survey with their employees to find out if they actually know what the reality is. Employees 2 or more steps removed from the owner have a very different idea or experience of culture.

Never underestimate the value of having a broken contact form on your website for getting more stuff done.

It could also be why you don’t have as many new clients contacting you.

Post by post by Ethan Marcotte is a beautiful reflection (eulogy?) on losing Twitter. https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/post-by-post/

Much love to all you mastodon nerds on here. I love logging on here and being bathed in the thoughts of my fellow nerds, geeks, and weirdos.

I could listen to @mathowie chat web, blogging, Twitter, and more for an hour each week. If you dig that idea too, you should subscribe to @shoptalkshow for next week's chat @davatron5000 & @chriscoyier have with him: https://plnk.to/shoptalk

“How to make faceless content on TikTok and generate thousands of dollars a month” is the new side hustle I’m seeing a bunch of. 🤢

Cloudflare and other corporations deserve every bit of shaming for over hiring and then letting people go without admitting to their own mistakes. https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3w4g7/cloudflare-firing-tiktok-remote-layoffs-corporate-accountability

Programming note: I’ve decided to wait on releasing my Vision Pro review until 5 years from now when I can justify paying for it.

Not that I really wondered, but great to see that Micro.blog has no interest in owning or selling user data. https://www.manton.org/2024/02/27/ive-seen-a.html

I just want to do a little podcast where we talk about neat things that we like and maybe get to rant a little every so often and have everyone on who wants to be kind and scheduling isn’t hard and enough people listen that it’s validating but not so many that it’s mentally exhausting.

ChatGPT wouldn’t be quite so appealing if google search results weren’t such a mess of SEO clickbait and garbage websites.

What’s actually absurd is that you can totally have this done right now, you just have to pay a human to do it. Man… that’s so frustrating! People are the worst!

That’s twice in one week where @chriscoyier has read my mind on a decision I was waffling on and written a blog post telling me exactly what I should do. Earlier it was web hosting, this time it’s about using subdomains for your side projects. https://chriscoyier.net/2023/09/21/use-subdomains/

The most I’ve ever laughed while using a computer is when Photo Booth first came out and we would pee our pants laughing at the stupid camera effects. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/photo-booth/pbhl9df7dfbb/13.1/mac/14.0

I should know by now not to grab a bowl of chips to snack on while editing my client’s podcast who’s a fitness and wellness educator / coach. Not that she’d shame me for snacking. I just always seem to be pouring the crumbs down my throat as she says something about “…the snacks add up.” 😆

Why your podcast needs a website #203: When I’m linking to your podcast from another podcast’s show notes, I’m not putting Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Pocket Casts, Podtail, Podchaser, Libsyn, RSS, BlueBorfy, PodTats, CastsThatArePods, etc. links.

I’m putting one so listeners can decide.

One of the things I didn’t appreciate about an e-reader is how having the book cover on the device reminds me that I have a book to read in a way that Libby on my iPhone never has. My iPhone reminds me of the time. Of messages. Of reminders.

My Kobo reminds me of a story to be read.

The whole “own your own content on your own website” only really works if we share each other’s content that we find interesting, funny, or otherwise worthwhile. Otherwise we’re all on an island.

Linking ain’t just for Zelda.

Well that doesn’t sound like fun.
