Andre went and linked here, so I feel like I should at least tell you that I spend an extraordinary amount of time on Tumblr lately. We can talk about the politics of that if you'd like. I don't love them. However, if you want to know what I'm thinking ...
Yak shaving, but who doesn't love that? Note: I realize this is possibly the worst organized collection of posts you've ever found. I often think I should straighten up around here, but I haven't done it yet. So do accept my apologies and think of this place as a junk ...
Part of me wants to ditch this particular project. Part of me wants to push myself to write more. About slow gardening (get to know the dirt) and open newsrooms and (lately, again) games. But ... Tumblr. @embell said Tumblr is for people who don't like to write -- I'm ...
And for me. Somewhere around this point every winter I'm at a total loss for meals. To answer Kiersten's question (what do you eat for dinner?) and my own (what on earth do we eat now), this time ... I've roasted a squash and cooked a lot of garbanzo beans. I made some lime and sesame oil dressing and some tahini sauce. Sunday, squash / miso / mugwort udon / scallion / hard boiled egg (loosely based on a recipe); carrot and chickpea salad with lime/sesame dressing. We got some turkey sausage at the farmers market, so we have to use that soon, too. Monday, Possibly sausage spaghetti, or else butternut squash and garbanzo beans with tahini sauce. Tuesday, leftover mujaddara (caramelized onions, lentils, short grain brown rice) with yogurt. Wednesday, see Monday.
I've been working on a project called Nutshell, a sort of proof of concept. I could write up "occupywallstreet" but I don't think it rises to the occasion. I might write up something about Travellers, since they seem to be making the news here, but there's more parsing than background to it, because of course, the history of most Gypsies is one of eviction. Note: Travellers aren't Romani. Still: call them travelers and then tell them to hit the road. For now: Travellers facing eviction from Dale Farm gipsy camp have their own homes in Ireland - (Telegraph). I'm trying to decide how much and how often Nutshell makes sense.
Plenty of people are asking good questions about whether social media matters. So I'm putting a couple of studies on my reading list. Soupsoup (via Kenyatta/Elspethjane/Tumblr in general, speaking of social.) Two interesting reports out today. One from Aol/Nielsen shows that 66% of content is ...
Apologies if I've played this tune before -- I was surprised that I hadn't. More than once I've tried to point folks to my paper on software freedom. It is part of a book that is well worth a read (that'd be Organic Internet), but I wrote that ...
Call it winter cleanout, but I've got these posts that I can't seem to finish or throw away. Some of them are outrageously old. Here's what I found in my dustbunnies ...
It has recently come to my attention that some of you playing along at home didn't notice that I also keep erratic track of what I eat for lunch, things I've tried to cook, things I thought looked nice and sometimes phỞ. There's also this PBS ...
PopTech is pretty awsome and they're hiring. An, my friend Sara, who is the Development Director at Union Settlement House, is looking for an assistant, and I heard a rumor that there's going to be an opening real soon for a numbers crunching database using reporter at a ...
