Here’s a video for Micro.blog users who want to learn more about ways to interact with the social web from Micro.blog. I hope you enjoy and learn something new today. cc @manton

I’m currently recording a YouTube video for Micro.blog users to demonstrate how you can interact with the social web from Micro.blog. Expect the video to be published soon. Feel free to say “hi”, you’re on camera!

David Spark on Nano texture displays:

I can’t help but wonder if Apple will eventually bring Nano-texture to the iPhone. Given how often people use their phones in direct sunlight, it could help. Regardless, for those who need a high-end, anti-reflective display, Apple’s Nano-texture glass is the best I’ve seen, and far superior to any screen treatment or film I’ve tried.

If nano texture display ever come to the iPhone, I would buy it in a heartbeat even if I didn’t for my M4 iPad Pro (too expansive).

Simply THE Best

Just spent 10 minutes on Glass, just browsing and glancing at other people’s work, and I was blown away by the quality of photos that you can find there. I discovered many great photographers this morning that will brighten my view of the world. I would argue that Glass is probably THE best and most successful photo-sharing service of all that I experienced in my life.

Realmac Software Elements is going to be a powerful blogging tool. This video shows a few upcoming features for bloggers. Currently in beta, Elements should ship in coming months. Can’t wait.

I don’t care who is managing Apple’s robotic team, but I do have one question: why does Apple need a robotic team in the first place?

It’s now possible to change the default username provided by Ghost’s Fediverse support. Currently, it is @index@numericcitizen.me, but I’m unsure what to replace @index with. 👀

I had plenty of time this weekend, but I must admit that I didn’t accomplish much of what I intended to work on. Sigh. 😒

My Next YouTube Video About Micro.blog

I finally found the subject and inspiration for my next YouTube video: how people can interact with Micro.blog users. In it, I’ll explain how posts can be cross-posted to other platforms and how people can reply to them, keeping the discussion ongoing even from seemingly different platforms.

My Current Incomplete and Troubled Bucket List

While revisiting my writing projects pipeline, I found this unfinished blog post. It’s a bucket list. It was inspired by Manton Reece’s Revisiting 43 Things blog post. Recent comments in italic.

Rent a country house for the whole summer, outside Canada — I would have been in the US, but this plan is on hold, because of Trump’s America.
Get my house renovated — Completed!
Do another trip with my two sons — TBD.
Return to California to see the new Apple headquarters — This plan is on hold, because of Trump’s America.
Visit Chicago — This plan is on hold, because of Trump’s America.
See the launch of a rocket from Space X — Fuck Elon Musk.
Return to Iceland — Most probable.

Given the current political environment, I must carefully reconsider each item on this list and remove the ones that will not happen.
