We're about to release Known 0.8, by far the best version of Known so far. Proud of it.

Hearken is changing the way local journalism is made. I love this team. Fast Company has the story: http://www.fastcompany.com/3047736/innovation-agents/hearken-aims-to-help-media-gain-traction-with-r...
The #indieweb had a fantastic 2014 - and 2015 is shaping up well too. http://tantek.com/2015/201/b1/indiewebcamp-2014-year-review
Achievement unlocked: sleeping through earthquake and aftershocks. I had no idea.
Buying coffee before having coffee is hazardous. At the checkout they should notice if you accidentally bought decaf and yell abuse at you.
Mobile web browsers suck - and there's no incentive to fix them. Apps are an artificial improvement. http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/20/9002721/the-mobile-web-sucks
UCSF is the 8th best hospital in the country. I definitely have reasons to thank them. http://health.usnews.com/health-news/best-hospitals/slideshows/the-honor-roll-of-best-hospitals-2015...
Or to put it another way: cool people really do care less. http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2015/07/why-lonely-people-stay-lonely.html
More software should be dryly sarcastic. It's certainly exactly what I want from Windows.

@onlinecrslady We just worked it out. You need to be on a later version of Known - Reclaim may be able to help (or use Pro). @withknown

America shouldn't be a country that imprisons because of their race or origin. It already is. This needs to be fixed, not accelerated.
My dad and his family were interned by the Japanese in Indonesia for years. The effects continue. Locking people up ripples for generations.
