  • What I saw somewhat recently #94: May 12, 2022

    The weather this week is just 👌 I’ve come to realize that the links I share here in this series are but a very small fraction of the incredible things I find while navigating mankind’s collective of digital content. My best guesstimate would be that I post maybe 5% of what I come across that…

    Doug Lane, on thinking a bit more before publishing on his own site than he would on Twitter or Facebook: If I let moments of anger or frustration sit for a bit, one of two things will happen.
