Gearing up for our next trip to the United States of America[^1] on October, 2024: going to New York for a long weekend. Right before the elections. And you know what? It will take a long time before I back in the US if this dangerous clown ever gets elected[^2].

[^1] I prefer the long version. [^2] That will happen my friends. Mark my words.

Is a corporate “blog”, still a blog? Take for example: Information Architects news site. Some posts like this one are really about musing on specific subjects, not directly related to the company’s products. I understand the marketing value proposition is maintaining a blog for a company, and yet…

Asking for a friend. 🫣🕵🏻

In my day-to-day work, I’m benefiting so much from many mentors that I had a chance to meet during my career. They don’t know it, but they helped me so much to become what I am today and how I work with my other colleagues. Someone said: we are the sum of people we met in our life. I like this a lot.

Like a few others, I’m proud to join the One a Month Club put together by @jarrod [^1]! You can show your support here on Ko-fi! I might post exclusive content on Ko-fi like a photo or a small personal text on a monthly basis. I’ll see where it goes!

[^1] I’m not sure how to get my page registered on Jarrod’s page, though. 🤔

Dear @Manton, the lack of editing a blogroll entry or moving an entry between blogrolls are really killing me. Putting everything on hold for now until we have a better way of updating this stuff! 😩

My wife gave me a surprisingly mildly negative reaction this morning when I shared with her my intention of getting a Nikon Zf mirrorless camera before going to Croatia this summer. Not because it’s not the best camera for this situation, no, because I already own an iPhone 15 Pro Max and a … read more

I find this fascinating that yesterday, I was in such bad mood about a lot of things (work life, personal life) and now, today, after a good night, I’m feeling much more upbeat! I can’t tell why because I don’t know. Human mind is a complete mystery. 😌

The future doesn't belong to optimists or pessimists. It does what it wants. Here's what's plausible to me: Apple has a lot of brains, brand loading and market power... So AVP will find its place. To me, this didn't change everything. The iPhone had that effect. On top of that, the device doesn't have the usual Apple fetish character. It doesn't say "You want this, don't you?" **It doesn't make you look good and part of a cool tribe. From outside makes you look confused, foolish and sad.**

What is the best way to fix the FOMO syndrome when it comes to RSS feeds? Simply hit “mark all as read”. You are welcome.

When I don’t know what to write, I edit and share photos. 👨🏻‍💻👀

Why is Dave Winer still caring about Twitter and Facebook? Mr. Winer is such a proponent of the open web… and interoperability… Twitter and Facebook are the antithesis of those principles.

I’m not sure I’ll be able to publish this week’s edition of my creative summary newsletter simply because I don’t feel creative at all this week. 😔

Been testing FeedLand this morning. I’m still trying to figure out what it is really about. As a subscriber to Inoreader, I wonder if I really need FeedLand in my digital life. Anyone using FeedLand here? 👀

I updated my blogroll page to take advantage of Micro.blog’s new blogroll feature.

I find those stories always fascinating when I read about a blogger moving from one platform to another. It is as if every hosting solution cannot have it all. There is always too much friction, or something is simply lacking, which prompts us, content creators, to drop one service and search for … read more

I wish Apple made special editions of their current and past products. A special edition of the iPod would be a killer and I would buy one. Something running a stripped down iOS version, with a fix set of apps (music, podcast, video) a in unique device that takes cue from the past but also try different new things. It could be a way for Apple to experiment in public and get feedback. Apple could try MacBook with different casing materials, colors and finish. Those special edition products would be available for a while.

I wish Apple would try to reinvent itself more often.

Just finish experimenting with Obsidian¹. I’m always fascinated by Obsidian but also unpleased by its user interface’s uninspired and unfinished feel. Passing for now.

I’m done with this week’s creative summary, edition 2024-09. I hope you enjoy as much as I do putting them together, each week. 👨🏻‍💻

Still not clear if it will only rain or if we will get heavy and abundant snow. Weather forecast is predicting only rain. I’m ok with this. This winter has been so warm so far, that’s incredible. We will probably be in a drought this summer because of the lack of snow this winter. And you know what it means? Forest fires.

I prefer Bear 2 over Craft for managing my reading notes created when using Omnivore and Readwise. This is what the following video is about: migrating from Craft to Bear and why I made that decision. Enjoy.
