Found this insane treasure trove at Moms - AppleSoft tutorial, Bowie on a Yahoo Magazine and a never opened AOL CD promo proving — as we suspected at the time — they are everywhere

Left out of #inMemoriam: Topol, Anne Heche, Charlbi Dean Kriek (from Triangle of Sadness), Tom Sizemore, Cindy Williams, Paul Sorvino, Lisa Marie Presley and TV actors like #lesliejordan. Isn't there someone on #Oscars staff who checks all this stuff up to the last minute?
This is how ya do it! [and IMHO the difference with women led VC’s]
Instead of repeating the echo chamber - reaching out to provide concrete tactical help!

I really enjoyed talking with @debs about what the early days of building and being on Flickr was like. Interesting how distant that feels, and how much we (or maybe I?) long for it. #nostalgiaisntALLbad
We can learn a lot from the early Web days.

A very worthwhile read on why - FB was always doomed. Also why now is the time to focus on nurturing our new smaller fediverse/ Mastodon communities.

I hadn't realized how much of a wild west the self-driving vehicles business is. For example, there are no federal restrictions on the testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads.

“Community building is a mind set” Yup!
Two years on, I've kept thinking about; the need for craft & care in product building, how ads don't work, how people buy from + trust people
Spent some time thinking about products with community at their core. I'd love your feedback ⬇️

A few years ago, I wrote this Medium piece about the tension between true community + scale, plus beliefs I'd come to after over a decade working in this still niche space.
I probably get an email about this piece most weeks.
