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.

I too am looking forward to day 1 of IWC 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.

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.

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.

Excellent news. 10Centuries now has a clickable permalink even for brief social status updates.

An IndieWeb Book Club is a really interesting idea for people who like that sort of thing, but I am a bit Groucho Marx about clubs. I may get around to the book, or I may not, but right now I will watch from the sidelines.
