paid to read
how i wish i was paid to read. i don’t have anything to do. i read stuff instead.
anyway, here are some cool blogs i found.
found on hn, minifeed was the starting point. it’s a cool mix between a rss reader and a webring.
from there, i found veronica explains, and thought i should do more with my videos, like learn the effects of kdenlive, write scripts before filming and doing the captioning by hand… god it’s so much work
lmnt.me was super cool. immaculate vibes (as the kids say), love the retroweb pixel banners.
alexwlchan.net is a cracked one. python and webdev, me like. i learned about the calendar python library.
rakhim.org is cracked too (you learn to recognize them from afar). he’s selling books, which might be a good idea… if i wrote some… god it’s so much work
another article i liked recently was smile vs poop for the cool don’t “try to be happy” koan (he phrased it opposite but hey). it’s like t1 (i rewatched worlds recap): they don’t try to win, they just win.
together as 1.
let’s do one more pass on asmartbear.com
he had bangers i still think about a lot, like “carol” and “is there a problem”
from what i see, he’s still using the old “pick a funny cartoon and wing a business theory from it”, which works suprisingly well. ask jodorowsky.
i wonder what my go-to cartoon would be. people usually enjoy calvin & hobbes (i love it too), xkcd is another great classic. french people used to go crazy with “shadoks”. i used to be an avid smbc fan, but recently i found a random “achille talon” board and i giggled like hell. cartoons are rad.
strategic choices is correct from gut feeling, but the examples are lacking.
“focus” (creating space) is a great recap, that’s always what my dad says all the time.
target market is just another riff on carol, and max mrr is just mental gymnastics.
good read.
someone was building a writing device, which is something i’d like to have too. i should try the remote keyboard (logitech pop they say) on the phone. it’s an iphone so no tmux. people in the comments recognize true yak shaving lol.
i try to type. just type. just make tip tip noise on the keyboard. i liked the asus a lot for that. soothing keys.
writing was cool as well. with lamy pen. russian glyphs. sharp strokes.
my own blog: tidy. not fun to read (for long-form technical) but ok for my poetry which is what i prefer. i should add more to my anthology to learn them when outside.
how i wish i could switch back to french. i feel alienated from my people, and i do anglicisms all the time when i speak. yet i don’t feel like i lost my wit in french. weird.
the thing about my blog is: poetry is just the only thing i re-read. because it’s the only thing i deem worth reading. i don’t rewatch my own videos. this blog post could have been called f*ck me.
there’s stuff i store to later link to other people. records. but i don’t re-read them.
the other article (about quitting cigs) should be called f*ck you. same with “adhd”, i’ll dope so i can speed to fulfill your petty wants? i’d rather see you starve, bitch.
