Remember a few months ago when I wrote, several times, that many Evernote loyalists were leaving it behind for something else? I believe we’re about to see a watershed moment for Evernote. Back then I wrote that Simplenote should have an import tool and they’d be able to clean up. So far we haven’t seen […]

Mike Vial: Better to be the musician who gets a no today, than the one who never asks and is always wondering; and even better to be the musician to takes a no and creatively makes it a yes on their own terms. This fits just about anyone. Never take no for an answer. I […]

I’ve just crested 40,000 photos in my Photos for OS X library with about 20,000 more to import from Picturelife. After using the app for a few days I have a few things I’d love to see in future updates. Speed – My 60-some-odd-thousand photos is far from abnormal. I would think that Photos for OS […]

Manton Reece is posting photos to his site now too. Regarding not doing so prior: I need to change that. I do like the Instagram app, though, so I’m going to keep using it. I’ll just copy the photos over to my site as well, and I’ll use Workflow on iOS to help automate it. […]

The call of the wild is strong. I’ve been working from home this week as we’ve decided to close our shared office space in Scranton. Nice weather pulls me outdoors. When I’m working downtown, and the weather is above freezing, I am pulled towards going for a short jaunt to shoot photos of local buildings. […]

Last night was the NEPA WordPress Meetup for February 2016. The weather got a bit crazy yesterday and so the organizers, Phil & Joe, decided to take the meetup online rather than at Coalwork. So that’s what we did. We chatted using Google Hangouts and answered questions presented to us via Slack. It seemed to […]

I’ve been loving YouTube lately. I watch much more YouTube than traditional TV. I find a lot more value in YouTube. Though I spend a lot of time researching particular topics there are a few channels I’ve subscribed to. Here are a few of them in no particular order and without comment: MKBHD Smarter Everyday […]

I wrote a bit on Space Bits about LIGO: Once built all we needed to do was wait for a large enough gravitational event to happen that we can measure it with this new tool. Well, it turns out one already happened and the gravitational waves from it were just about to whoosh passed Earth. […]

I’ve been going through my older tweets lately and reposting and commenting on a few of them on Twitter. In May 2007 I tweeted about a service called Launch Feed. Using Archive.org’s Way Back Machine we can see what it would have looked like at that time. I thought I’d pull it up today and […]

Bijan Sabet, on his Tumblr: I deactivated my Facebook account this morning. The slide continues. Ironically, today is the day I decided to cut my #60daybreak short and I jumped back on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat. I have my reasons. More soon.

Dave Winer recently wrote that if you have something you want to publish that you should publish it anywhere but Medium. His argument is that Medium could shut down or change course at any moment and your content and your URLs would then be in jeopardy of disappearing. He’s right. That could happen. But that […]

Anne Wheaton, wife of Wil Wheaton, on her personal blog: I deleted my Twitter account last night and immediately felt relieved. I will miss the tweety buddies who were awesome that I don’t know in real life. I will continue to stay in touch with my friends around the world by phone or by my […]

Brent Simmons on his personal blog: Here’s what I found: being off Twitter, that squeaky treadmill, gave me back some time, and it made me happier and calmer than I would have been. And: I’m not deleting my account, but I’ve turned off all notifications and uninstalled the app from all computers and devices. I […]

I’m concerned about Flickr. I’m concerned about Flickr because Yahoo! is going through a tumultuous time as a company. Last year it was speculated that Yahoo! would sell off its share in Alibaba to earn some dough while they continued to attempt to turn the company around. That quickly turned into rumors about Yahoo! splitting […]
