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://web.archive.org/web/20190514114829/https://medium.com/@grant27/martha-stewart-the-old-guard-d...
I got to the cube rule via Andy Baio, who also linked to soup-salad-sandwich-space. It is my duty, however, to point out that to a real topologist, there are only four foods, not six.
Fruit Envy
I’ve no idea who this person thinks she’s fooling, but her stickered laptop amused me no end.

Why should I be using mobile data to stream music to a $1000 phone when I can get an MP3 player for $26 that can hold 7000 songs on a micro SD card and has 80 hour battery life? The ethical and ecological impact of cheaply made products isn't so great, but I think it's at least worth being somewhat aware of the tradeoffs we're making.
So true. And the headphone can have a jack too, if that's what you want.
Thanks for your thoughts Aaron. You raise an issue that hadn't occurred to me: being able to eat things that you don't get at home because nobody else likes those things. I do that when I'm eating out, even if I'm not alone, but yes, that works too.
Don't do this! Just don't. Autoplay ought to get you flayed alive.
I just backed Bokeh: Private, independent, and user-funded photo sharing on @Kickstarter

Fine article on global diets, but lord it is annoying to discover that an image credit is baked into the image. Makes tracking down the original, so that I can give credit if I use it, that much more difficult.
A full test: how do show notes display in podcast apps?
If you care about anything apart from the audio of the podcasts you subscribe to, you may want to check that the app you use gets a good rating for how it displays show notes.
Excellent news. 10Centuries now has a clickable permalink even for brief social status updates.
@jkphl Likewise, and although I won't be in Düsseldorf next weekend I will be in Utrecht the weekend after. May is @indiewebcamp month.
TextEdit goes out of its way to destroy data
Like so many other standard tools in macOS, TextEdit is another festering sore on the rump of Apple’s engineering indolence.
Yikes. (Not that I ever actually use TextEdit to do anything.)
All Podcasts Are Shows; Not All Shows Are Podcasts
As a side note, I think the $100 million in venture capital that Luminary raised is going to be $100 million flushed down a toilet.
The sooner the better, AFAIAC
