Indoor Voices
Remember when I opined that blogging may see a surge with all of this quarantine stuff? Indoor Voices – a new blog (on blogspot!) from over 80 quarantined writers. Kottke covers it far better than I can here. A few weeks ago, writer Kyle Chayka Tweeted “I predict a great Blogging Renaissance,” to which also…

How to enjoy a long winter
Jason Kottke: I decided that because I live in Vermont, there is nothing I can do about it being winter, so it was unhelpful for me to be upset about it. I stopped complaining about it getting cold and dark, I stopped dreading the arrival of snow. I told myself that I just wasn’t going…

Dean Allen
I did not know Dean Allen. But you couldn’t have been a blogger in the early 2000s without coming across, and admiring and swooning over, Textism – Dean’s blog. I was no exception. In fact, I was still subscribed to Textism’s RSS feed until I heard the news. Likely a 15 or so year old…

Joseph Rodriguez: It was not unusual to see shoe-shiners outside of Grand Central. They’re not there anymore. I think it’s a Banana Republic now. Incredible photo portfolio backed with incredible stories. /via Kottke.

Colin Walker on blogrolls
Colin Walker: Part of the problem with people based following models on social networks is that you follow the whole person so see everything they post whether it is relevant to you or not. There is no filtering system. He goes on to mention that blogrolls that also supply an OPML file make it quick…

Tim Bray on blogging in 2017
Tim Bray: On a blog, I can write about blogging and whimsically toss in self-indulgent pictures of May’s budding azaleas. OK, Tim. I see your azaleas and raise you these springtails. Tim’s post via Jason Kottke and Jeremy Keith. See also.

Independence is a long play
Jason Kottke re: Medium’s announcement and why he chose not to move Kottke.org to Medium: New businesses are unstable…that’s just the way it is. In Silicon Valley (and in other startup-rich areas), these unstable businesses have lots of someone else’s money to throw around — which makes them appear more stable in the short term…

The Future of Cities
I forgot to link to Oscar Boyson’s video in this week’s What I saw this week post. Sorry about that. So now he gets his very own post. Oscar Boyson on Ev’s blog: Jane Jacobs said that “cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by…

Writing from home
Me, last night on Twitter: I know @jkottke said blogs were dead. I know I said they were “just sleeping”. It might be Jason’s fault, but I think they’re on the upswing. Jeremy Keith has noticed too: I’m not saying that this is a trend (the sample size is far too small to draw any…

In dependence
Jeremy Keith has chimed in on the conversation started by Jason Kottke’s "The blog is dead" piece from a few weeks ago with In dependence. Many of us are feeling an increasing unease, even disgust, with the sanitised, shrink-wrapped, handholding platforms that make it oh-so-easy to get your thoughts out there …on their terms …for…
