When I ask people what they would do with any amount of money, it usually comes down to spending it on things...

Not any intentional plan to use it as a tool for transformation and to actually change their circumstances.

Most aren’t sure what to change in their lives long term.

Sunday update

BREAKING: A novel treatment has been discovered that can reduce COVID-19 transmission by up to 75%. It’s called wear a fucking mask.

A message straight from Admiral Janeway (I’m pulling the big rank for this one): wear a mask! Humanity needs to take care of each other right now, which means wearing a mask to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The sooner we all mask up, the sooner we crush the curve & can...(1/3)

You and your cats deserve better. Gotta feel sorry for the guy though. So much hate and so alone as he continues to push everyone away by being just awful to other human beings.

okay, here's my pitch: let's redo the web https://macwright.com/2020/08/22/clean-starts-for-the-web.html

Amazing fact: apparently the DNC convention was helmed from (Emmy winner) Glenn Weiss's living room in Brentwood. He had pants on but no shoes.

Send me pics of your video editing setup 😎

iPad as second monitor. :)

Shoutout to the YouTubers with barely anyone watching but continuing to upload every week wondering if it will all start working out

Stay confident in your content and don't stress about the numbers

You got this

I love when pets sigh like a human. It’s like. Oh? Are you stressed? Did you work today? Just laid around did nothing and ate food ? That’s what I thought

My bi-weekly post that Skype updated automatically and broke our system.

Tomorrow is our last Skype show (we’re moving to Zoom).

Makes me so happy to finally get to uninstall this complete piece of crap.

Good news, you won’t have to listen to me complain about Skype anymore.

Somebody’s literally having the best year of their life, but they’re afraid to say it.

It was this moment in time that every early adopter of an Oculus facepalmed and sold theirs on eBay.

I agree with that description of what happened. That said, I think the core problem today is that RSS/Atom alone is no longer enough for us. We want to read, like, and comment without bouncing from site to site. The indieweb community uses webmentions and webactions for this.

This morning I made the top 25 leaders at @okta sit through an hour-long usability test of an areas of our products that have poor usability. Painful but the first step to fixing a problem is to recognize you have it.

I just walked away from a big contract. Another brand wanting the right to takedown a video at any time in the future, for any reason. They said “many other influencers don’t mind” - who’s out here not reading their contracts and giving up this kind of power over your stuff? 👀

Just tried browsing Apple's website for the iPhone SE and it was borderline unusable. And I'm using Safari on a recent MacBook Pro. Tesla's website is no better. Scrolljacking is the new Flash and I want it to die.
