Your podcast episode on the history of commodities trading[1] was awesome! I, sadly, don't visit your site as much as I used to, because, well, honestly I can't really keep track of the stuff I do visit regularly, but I'm glad you're still at it. I'll see if i can support your efforts in some way.
Webrings kinda went away when "blogging" became the new thing, and then there were blogrolls and pingbacks and delicio.us and whathaveyou. That got supplanted by the larger glurge into social media with friendster, then myspaces top 8, and now everyone is just on facebook saying "what's the point?".
Indeed. As mentioned, its for personal sites as a lightweight way to share a link to a friends site that may or may not be related, rather than a list of affiliates or sponsors or whatever.
I have a friend who's dad is a good carpenter, put a whole second story on his house, did the flooring and made a lot of furniture. He said it was about 4th grade before he found out that there were stores where people went and bought furniture instead of just making their own.
That's funny, I recognized the name, but had to look him up and went "oh yeah, eyebrows guy!".
The kid who played Joffrey on game of thrones also always came across as a very smart, thoughtful kid, he just played an intensely hateable character. Similar to the actor who played Marlo in The Wire, I saw him host an actors roundtable and had to blink twice "wow, one of the scariest villains in a gritty show is actually this cheerful, charismatic guy.
I don't think all actors are smart, and I certainly think some actors think they are smarter than they are, but I don't think being smart hurts if you're an actor.
Oh, yes, he was doing a "book club" on twitter for a little while. I remember him doing an interesting thread on an Updike book where he was making a point that the author was a great writer because he could make a character that was simply a good writer, with the larger point that people can't write convincing characters that are smarter than they are.
I kinda think everyone should have an old school "joy of cooking", where they have instructions on skinning rabbits and squirrels, just as a reference that things weren't always like this not even that long ago.
Naw, just actually live here for a couple years and you'll figure it out. If you're just a jerkass ubering everywhere then it prolly won't bother you anyway since you're just clicking links from texts.
I get it can be confusing, but its no more confusing than Manhattan or seattle, which has a terrible vortex of 45ths and many many 15ths.
Division and Divisidero are generally not anywhere near each other. You can figure that out quickly. Similar to streets and avenues.
That's pretty cool. I'm guessing it would need some tweaking to handle things like cookies, or does it just need a pointer to the cookiejar? I'm not too familiar with servo,
(I know many conflict and there is not a shell buffer long enough to handle all that)
Kidding aside, I actually said "ugh, seriously" when I saw that there were literally thousands of options. Is there a public program with more options?
