Thoughts on Webrings Past and Webrings Future
There may be a webring revival afoot. Webrings had their heyday back in the 1990's. Good search engines, like Google helped make them redundant. Fear of Google, the decline and fall of free hosted websites like Geocities helped kill them off. Yahoo ruining Webring.org didn't help either. I was a Ringmaster of severa ...

The more stuff you keep, the less of it you will see again.
There are lots of reasons to join the fediverse, but @hackers_gifs is currently a pretty strong motivator for me.
Here's an article arguing column width limits of 80 characters are too small these days: https://hackernoon.com/does-column-width-of-80-make-sense-in-2018-50c161fbdcf6

This is a really interesting article on why orange may be a healthier UI choice than blue: https://www.fastcodesign.com/90177573/how-blue-became-techs-favorite-color-and-why-it-shouldnt-be

Here we go: two paintings from the @aadl@twitter.com's Bob Ross paint along! Which one is best? Who wins?!
Sadly no progress photos, but I have the final product right here. It's a bit, uh, impressionist, but I like it!

Wow... The floatation tank is pretty interesting. I'm going to have to try this again!
The 8am construction crew decided to turn it up a notch this morning and bring a radio. So now there are hammers pounding and some terrible top 40 country station right outside my bedroom window.
You win universe. I'm up. 😠
I'm kind of loving Snail Mail's new album Lush: https://snailmaillush.bandcamp.com/
The music is great, and frankly, I have a soft spot for anyone who plays a fender jaguar. Seriously, I'm pretty jealous of Lindsey Jordan's guitar sound right about now.
This reeks of multi-level marketing. A giant company saying to a bunch of desperate people "How would you like to go into business for yourself?!"
At what point do you start getting commissions for signing up other drivers? 🙄

Me: I'm on a roll, I'll work until 2am since I don't have to be anywhere until 11 today.
Universe: no one sleeps past 8, right? How about if that's when your neighbors will bring the crew in to rebuild their deck!
