I miss blog rolls… the first time the personal web was in full swing everyone had blog rolls on their sites. Now very few people have this and it makes finding sites much harder.

Wandering around Oxford today after a few days in London. An end of January mini holiday is actually really nice and refreshing.

Not sure why but I now have a Mastodon account… I think intrigue more than anything is behind it.

Apple has released a new HomePod that looks like they haven’t learnt any lessons from the first one. It’s still $300 and still seems over engineered.

Finding myself drawn more and more towards analog tools lately. Considering buying some writing paper to write some letters to friends I haven’t seen for a while.

Interesting to see Medium starting it’s own Mastodon server. Perhaps trying to shield itself from an eventual collapse as people rediscover their own personal websites.

Considering all my various software subscriptions given some are increasing in price (Fantastical). Any set app users have experience of BusyCal vs. Fantastical?

6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (‭‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬‬:‭6‬ ‭NIVUK‬‬)

I followed @johnvoorhees@mastodon.macstories.net through Micro.blog and his name is so long it breaks scrolling in the Micro.blog app. @manton is there a way display Mastodon users names rather than handles?
