  • Matt Haughey and I disagree about Instagram Stories

    Matt Haughey, on this blog: Instagram stories feel like work, like being forced to watch ads from my friends’ lives instead of casually browse stuff at my own pace. The feed: I can just scroll through quickly, and stop on interesting photos, but Stories slow down the whole process of popping into Instagram for just…

  • Matt Haughey on the mobile WordPress app

    Matt Haughey vents his frustrations with WordPress: Over the past week I’ve written a bunch of posts while out and about using the iOS WordPress app, often with photos of things I was seeing. But unless I was on WiFi or had 5 bars of LTE connectivity, I would get a Posting Failed, Retry? message.…

  • Keeping a record of your thoughts and media and owning it

    Go ahead and read Matt Haughey’s post on why he left Twitter. But I wanted to pull out this bit: I didn’t like that everything I wrote ended up being hard to find or reference, and even hard for me to pull up myself when I wanted, where a blog makes it pretty dang easy…

  • Matt Haughey \”Communication is the hardest part\”

    Matt Haughey at the January DonutJS meetup in Portland, Oregon: Being able to express myself is something I’ve worked on my whole life. I’m constantly learning this lesson both personally and professionally. Each time I do the “landing” of it is softer and softer as I get older. But if someone isn’t “getting me” it…

  • Experiment more

    Try new things with what you already have. In 2006 I wrote a post about taking full advantage of the things you already own. Knowing every feature of your SLR or Bluray player or getting to know the features of your most-used software. In this post I want to encourage you to try something completely new…

  • Haughey hangs it up at MetaFilter

    Matt Haughey, matthowie, had an incredible 16 year run with Metafilter. And, in true Mefi fashion… the post about his departure drips with just the right amount of MetaFilter-isms: LobsterMitten is returning as a full-time moderator All yours LobsterMitten.

  • Slow reading email

    Matt Haughey writing on this #tildeclub space: One long-standing pet peeve with Gmail (and all similar email apps) is that they don’t offer a “slow” reading option. Email is a fast, efficient, intensive sort of activity, so the UI is as practical as possible, but if I ever need to write more than four paragraphs,…

  • The golden age for independent content

    Matthew Haughey waxing nostalgic on the incredibly retro tilde.club: That made me think back to posting 4–5 times a day on my own blog, and RSS (and The Time Before Google Reader Was Killed), and even back before that. I tried to think of the ultimate time for the indie web, when I was experiencing…

  • It feels good when people say nice things about your hard work

    When people are willing to talk or write about your product it is a good thing. It doesn’t matter if what they write is positive or negative — if they write negatively you can fix the issues they mention and if they write positively you can sit back and smile. This morning I walked into…

  • Weight loss tips by Matt Haughey

    Although I don’t agree with Matt’s "weigh yourself everyday" approach I do believe that different things work for different people and so I suggest reading both Matt’s tips and his weight loss blog Stronger, Fitter, Faster. Via Dan Benjamin.
