Realized I uploaded this one but never made the post! (Or the post got lost, haha.) So, it’s been backdated.

A broken white toilet lies among leaves and branches on the ground.

Another snow day in Atlanta! One per winter here is rare, but twice in the same winter? Crazy!

A tree base covered in snow with an opening resembling a small animal burrow. Snow blankets the ground and the tree trunk, and a few leaves are scattered around. The background shows more trees and foliage.

On First Looking into Brand’s Whole Earth Catalog

The Last Whole Earth Catalog turns out to be more than a curio, however. […] But what makes it more than a curio about a bygone era is that we are still living with – if not dominated by – much of the ideology implicit in the book.

Interesting look at the Whole Earth Catalog and its relationship to the modern tech industry.

I’ve been curious about the WEC, but this is the first time I’ve come across something that looks at how its legacy influenced modern times. Reading this also makes me wish Woz had remained a greater influence in modern tech. I think we lost a valuable perspective when he stepped out. But, I can’t blame him.

Hacker News thread on RSS and social algorithms: news.ycombinator.com

I’m interested in this space. Like the OP, I’ve moved more of my reading over to RSS. The catch, I’ve subscribed to so many blogs and websites it’s overwhelming. I’ve been brainstorming how I might use algorithms and AI to help pare it down but haven’t found something that’s great yet.

H/T to @dave (Scripting.com) who linked this HN thread and is active in the comments there. I need to check out some of his blogroll work!
