I’ve been using rss technology for reading online for a long while. RSS is kinda niche. Basically it’s a technology that allows you to get an update when a webpage (typically a blog) is updated by the author. Instead of going to all the websites you’re interested in to see if they’ve got new posts, those posts come to...

From several years ago and right before I deleted my twitter account.

I couldn’t find one place to find all the awesome improv things around my area (called the seacoast), so I made it.

Why this matters to me: I've been using (and thinking a lot about) paper for ages. Notebooks. Zines. The tactile practice of making small things and...

I spoke with a friend who described this truly interesting thing he's doing for his work. It involves AI. After he finished describing it and the real value it's creating he wondered out loud...
