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? 👀

The Fascinating Game of Moving Between Hosting Platforms
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 something else.

Those special edition products would be available for a while.
I wish Apple would try to reinvent itself more often.

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.

Apple has hired away an advertising executive from NBCUniversal, as it continues to build out its rumored video ad business for Apple TV+.
That is not a good sign. Is this another example of enshitification? Man, I wish Apple won’t go in that direction.

When my sons got old enough, I offered them their first email address on Gmail. That made them happy. They didn’t have an iPhone to use it but they could sit down in front of a computer and start writing emails. I wonder if I came up with an empty but ready-to-use blog if they would react the same? Probably not.

Yesterday at the office, during a web conference, one of my colleagues, probably around 24 years old, called me a boomer! I responded: Hey, young boy, consider take ChatGPT for a ride and ask him what is the “X” generation is? I felt insulted.

I’m considering buying the Elgato Prompter for use during my YouTube video recording. But I’m not sure that reading a script while recording is something that I’ll feel at ease with. Plus, writing those scripts takes some time. I’m more of an intuitive got with the flow guy when I record. Quality might suffer from this, though. Decisions, decisions, decisions. 🤔

Isn’t it strange that looking at the Apple Vision Pro today I find it’s look somewhat outdated. Already. Should I say “retro”? Is this design really iconic? 🤔

I wanted to push my iPad Pro article today, to beat Apple, in case they decided to release new iPad Pro today. 😅

What if EU tells Apple: “you’re changes in iOS 17.4 aren’t enough or wrong”, what then?

I don’t want to wait next week for the new iPad Pro announcement. I want it TODAY! I need some Apple excitement in my digital life.

Photo-editing on the iPad using Photomator is such a joy. I can’t wait to go with the upcoming iPad Pro. The iPad is the perfect devide for photo-editing with the Apple Pencil. With the switch to the OLED technology, it will be even better.
