Observation: Some people tap at a smart phone’s keyboard as if it were an old-school calculator—one finger—with deliberation. #character #writing

What if the Fediverse included streams in addition to social? Local weather? stock watchlists? Media? Personal? A “life stream”! That’s the idea behind what I’m working on, The Continuity. It’s a personal project, so it won’t see public release, but I see it as the next evolution of social media.

Tagging something as important doesn’t make it important. Also, just because something is important means it’s tagged. #programming #life

Just because a programming language has a feature, it doesn’t mean you have to use it. #programming

Time to eat. Writing done, for now. I just need to put a ribbon on it. That’s for tomorrow. Then the transcription and editing slog begin. #writing #mdc3con
