I already had huge respect for @rosemcgowan for both her politics and IPF advocacy, and it grew today. Thanks for using your voice.
Things are about to get super-interesting in Silicon Valley. Hello, China. http://www.wsj.com/article_email/coming-soon-from-china-a-400-million-bonanza-for-u-s-startups-14446...
Q: Which services do you use for all the to-dos in your life? eg, Asana, Wunderlist, GitHub, Jira, etc etc ..?
@riprowan I'd say it sits alongside a WordPress. I've heard it described as a "sideblog". Notes and ideas as well as finished pieces.
@riprowan The big deal is deeper connections with the networks you already use. eg, everything I share on Twitter is syndicated from my site
@StartupLJackson I think he knows exactly what year it is, and Dell's own enterprise cloud offerings are falling flat. Ofc, this will too.
I use my @withknown site about a million times a day. We built a better blog for the social web. https://withknown.com/pro
Two things that I think are different about doing startups out here and in Cambridge:
1. Flip-flops are totally cool,
2. and failure is embraced as a part of life.
A startup is a serious endeavor and you need to give it more than your all. But ultimately, if you fail and you legitimately tried your very best, it's not a black mark. You continue, and try again. It's all about how you deal with failure.
I'm sorry it ended. Onto the next adventure!
I've always suspected this about black coffee drinkers. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/psychopathic-people-are-more-likely-to-prefer-bitter-foods...
He's controversial, but I'm a Michael Moore fan. I'm looking forward to this new film. http://variety.com/2015/film/news/michael-moores-where-to-invade-next-sells-to-new-distribution-labe...
@harryhalpin Does that mean I can count you down for an interview? :)
In all seriousness, for years I was going to write a book about decentralization called The Internet is People. I think it's time to do it.
Wrote rambly satirical dystopian tweetstorm packed with cynical inside baseball jokes; only lost one follower. Sweet.
@riprowan That's one. Also: discovery (search and proactive notifications on things like trends), verbs / actions, federation content types.
Back in the present: "I don't know where I'm going with this," one man types grimly into his iPhone. "And I'm late for a baby shower."
On one side, coders fighting for the user, hands bloodied and dirty. On the other, wealth, but under the yoke of control. What a choice.
The masters of App City carefully snip and prune the culture. Subversive elements are removed as if they never existed. Who would see?
In the distance, App City, with its gleaming towers and shiny-toothed people. The citizens are happy there. But do they remember freedom ..?
One man surviving the apocalypse in his radiation-proof exoskeleton, simply yelling "RSS! RSS! RSS!" over and over again.
Scene: 100 years into the future. An apocalyptic wasteland. Shouts on the radioactive wind: "... JSON-LD ...!" "... Microformats ...!"
Signed feeds, pub/sub, a simple verb protocol, a publisher and a reader. Boom, decentralized the web. I'll let you argue about specifics.
Autocorrect is really great at changing words without my noticing, and really bad at actually fixing typos. It's like a mischievous god.
@sarahdessen On the plus side, you're exponentially less likely to be served kale with your breakfast in North Carolina.
Joss Whedon made more money from Dr Horrible than The Avengers. Good: I want more indie films in the world. http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/dr-horribles-sing-along-blog-joss-whedon-avengers-paleyfest-12016154...
@mdvfunes Lifelong fan! Starting with the very tail end of Tom Baker. Peter Davidson and Sylvester McCoy are my Doctors.
