A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
The very few occasions on which someone’s interesting reply leads me to an interesting original are far outnumbered by banal replies that clutter my timeline. Grumpy? Sure. But I wish I could control that.

I'm a late adopter on IndieWeb readers, I freely confess. Maybe I should make the effort now. Well, not now, because I'll be out of circulation for a bit, but soon.
So sorry that all the great content in Heated "by Medium and Mark Bittman" is available only to people willing to pay Medium's price. I'd much rather pay money.

@_MatthewDillon This latest was prompted by the recent piece on gluten free from Bob Quinn ... and there's a certain irony in trademarking your grain name while not being content to simply copyright what you write rather than hand it over.

I’m not even clear if an article like that on Medium gets the writer a $ return or not. Assume it does for the regular contributor (like Bittman) but doubtful on the occasional. That changes my attitude on payment for material. Maybe @bittman knows & will tell us.

Seems to me that if you haven't grabbed clients on the home page, they're probably not going to go to an About page. So maybe that should be more personal?

I've yet to advertise proper that I'm back freelancing tbh. I should maybe start with that before worrying about the rest! 😅 The general info in my footer still has some space I feel, I could add a few extra lines of personal info there though.

Seems to me that your home page is great as a professional About page. Just add some #indieweb markup like an h-card. You have a contact form, which is important, what more do you need?

Thx for the feedback! Great (rhetorical?) question there! It sort of feels like the copy isn't good enough for that little extra "convincing" or a lack of connection potential clients visiting my page. I dunno, I guess I am over-thinking it perhaps... 🤔

Really Tonz, you shouldn't be meddling in this stuff. I'm just going to leave this here: https://

I do find myself wondering whether well-designed HTML newsletters -- as opposed to emails -- are more effective than not-so-well-designed newsletters at getting people to read what they contain.
Just seen a beautiful little Grebe on the canal in Utrecht.
Maybe it is because I had already noted a Washington Post piece about "real" food people ignoring the Magnolia cookbook, but I found Grant McCracken's piece about Martha Stewart doing the same so trenchant and also so sad. http://
Replied to a post by Jeremy CherfasJeremy Cherfas In Aperture there are channel settings for excluding certain post types that you might not want to see. But nothing yet for filtering out at the granularity of banality I think…
