Day 12 of the March Photoblogging Challenge: “shiny”.

Today, I’m choosing to share our Vietnamese Phin Coffee Filters from the lovely folks at Hanoi Corner

Good morning

Memo to the BBC

Perhaps it would have been useful, in the case of Gary Lineker and Match of the Day, to look more closely at the writing on the side of your own building:
It is an old quote from George Orwell: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”

Ngl: quite enjoying this new Miley Cirus album so far… 💃 🎤

Obviously whole heartedly agreeing with this take:

“Mass layoffs are due to hiring becoming a vanity metric in tech.”

Gowalla is back, y’all!

These data-hungry tech companies have compromised our security, eroded our privacy, tracked us, sold our data, lost our data, monopolized the competition, driven out small businesses and put entire populations at risk.

Watching Mulholland Drive for the very first time and happy that it’s the 4K remastered Criterion Collection :)

Today’s Micro.blog photoblogging challenge prompt is ENGINEERING. As I’m looking around our home, I’m inspired to post about an industrial Air France poster we’ve framed in our bedroom.

Engineering, Airplanes, tadah! 💥 🤯

Micro.Blog March Photoblogging Challenge: #MBMar Day 3: “ZIP”

Verb: ”to move, act, or function with speed and vigor”

Just like this crowd exciting fast after a concert, back in October…

Happy #DeLaSoul day!

Let’s continue helping Tweetbot and Twitterrific

Let’s continue helping Tweetbot and Twitterrific, the small indie developers who have given so much to our early-Twitter community of the 2010s-2020s: If you’re a subscriber to either Tweetbot or Twitterrific, you can help them out with three simple steps: Reinstall the app if you’ve already deleted it; otherwise, make sure you’re running the latest version. Tap the “I Don’t Need a Refund” button. Feel good and go buy yourself a treat, knowing you helped the good folks at a small company whose work you’ve appreciated (and will continue to).

Micro.Blog March 1st Photoblogging Challenge: #MBMar: “secure” (@challenges)

set of keys in hand

Alright @MLS let’s do this! So far so good with the @AppleTV broadcast… #NSHNYC #MLSisBack

Happy @MLS #OpeningWeekend to all those celebrating!

And let’s go @DCUnited #DCU #VamosUnited

Ok so unsurprisingly El0n really is Trumpian to the max:

The Athletic announces deeper Formula 1 coverage, at last! 😊🏎️

A propos of nothing, it seems that Micro.blog now supports a feature around Bookshelves & Reading List — the rationale being that keeping track of books via @microdotblog is a good way to then share thoughts, which is a very nice idea…

I wish there was a way to sync w/Oku tho…

With every day that passes, it looks more and more like I’ll be going back to freelancing.

The first step is to prepare a new ‘professional’ website, then to organize myself across Notion & Things, and later ensure the legal, admin, and banking side is all set up… Wish me luck! :)

Mac App Bingo: we didn’t know how good we had it back then! What a time!

As a follow-up to yesterday’s post about Mastodon, it seems that I can keep posting from @MicroDotBlog and y’all can just follow @tibz@micro.blog to interact with me…

Grateful to @Manton @jean and the Micro.blog team for the easy setup

(file under #LearningInPublic, I guess)

Just setting up my Mastodon (via Micro.blog)… @tibz@micro.blog x @tibz@mastodon.social

Oh #TheLastOfUs 01x03, you have no right to bring up Max Richter’s ”On the Nature of Daylight” and pull at the heartstrings the way you do!

Happy to be back on a hot streak with @DayOneApp lately…

Happy Monday

Finally time to star watching #TheLastOfUs 😊

After an unprecedented winter window in which they signed seven senior players for over £280million, there is one question dominating the sport: How are Chelsea able to embark on such a spending spree while abiding by UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations?

Howdy y’all 🤠: “The Athletic is jumping on the Wrexham bandwagon”

Shout out to @PetBerisha for the fantastic breakdown on the @Sorare x @PremierLeague deal

After the @WSJopinion piece called “Are there too many Asians?”, I’m seeing a piece called “Are French People just lazy?” in @nytopinion today.

…Which begs the question: are there any good editors left?!
