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

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!

Added @amit’s awesome Post Stats plugin and now I have a 2024 year in micro blogging recap to share. Check out the full stats page for more!

My favorite internet weather dude, Ryan Hall Y’all is forecasting that it’s possible for snow to return to the southeast, even in Atlanta. Would be wild to happen twice in one winter here!

Finished reading: Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler 📚

I really enjoyed this book. It feels remarkably relevant (even down to the years this story is set in!) to our current political and climate situation. Despite how tough and awful the world described here is, there’s a message of hope.

I’m excited to immediately move on to Parable of the Talents.

📺 Finished the season of Shōgun last night and wow did I enjoy it! I know I’m late to this show, but got reminded of it due to the Golden Globes.

Now feeling a little sad there’s no more to watch until whenever season 2 comes out.

Today it snowed in Atlanta!

Ok, so snow is not at all an everyday occurrence here. But other than being a rare event, these fit the series theme!
