Fifty years ago, this photograph was captured on the surface of the moon. We had made it. This was what wonder looked like.

But, how did an astronaut take such a picture? What kind of camera works on the moon? Friends, let me tell you about the mission to shoot in space.

Have we as a culture decided what it means when we see these ideograms on the side of a vehicle? Should I touch this truck? Does it symbolize “we exist, and the internet does, too”?

@uint8_t I take some shortcuts in service of a system that's more manageable to me:
* No hierarchy, just top-level folders to group similar photos (e.g. trips, events, photoshoots)
* ISO-8601 date prefix on folders
* Multi-day events just get grouped under one day, don't overthink it
* Catch-all month folders for misc photos
* Photos get uploaded from my phone to an "Inbox" on my Synology NAS automatically (graph counts items in the Inbox)
* Periodically sort things (graph go down??)

So I prefer to talk about relationships by their contents rather than their label "This is a person I do kissing & video games with" as opposed to "this is my friend/girlfriend/husband"

Ive just realised this is an Entity-Component Model as opposed to a Class Hierarchy Model.

How many tech startups in 2019 could be built with Airtable and Zapier alone? Spoiler: a lot.

Sure, you may need one or two others. Or you may prefer any of the great alternatives. (Hi Quip, IFTTT, Transposit!) Regardless, these kinds of prosumer, automation-friendly tools are truly great now, especially for building service oriented products. You can ship MVPs on them that comfortably serve your first 10k+ users, and likely more, with little to no actual code. That’s stunning.

Early cloud computing was a big shift that dramatically reduced the cost of bootstrapping a tech application. App stores on phones were another. This may be the third. Add in the largest pool of available capital ever, and there’s never been a better time to start a tech company.

(Having said that, founding a startup is still a brutal, unforgiving, and all-consuming. That way lie dragons, as always. Entrepreneur beware.)

One time in Prague I went to a mart and got q-tips. Cleaned my ears on the sidewalk and it was the most glorious thing. (it was a long, q-tipless trip to that point)
