Sitting around on a Sunday afternoon, I saw a new post from Derek Sivers and decided to check out his /now page again. Which led to wandering through nownownow again. Which led me to Wes Bos' uses.tech. And then to spending some time updating my own /now page and adding my own /uses page. And then to adding GitHub-style alerts so each page could explain why they’re a thing…
It was a productive afternoon.
Prompted by this article, I am drinking a gallon (3.96L) of water per day. No superpowers yet. I am drinking a lot less coffee though, which is surprising.
To paraphrase this article, it’s far less likely that future society will be reading my tweets to gain insight into who I was, than it is that some asshole will trawl through my Twitter feed to find some tweet where I sounded like a jerk. So I’ve deleted about 63,000 tweets, leaving only the last 12 months, and every month I’ll delete another 30 days worth.
I’m not leaving Twitter just yet, but it won’t be such a big deal anymore if I have to.
Liberating.
edit: I left.
edit2: And then Alex Jones was asked to leave, and I went back.
much, much later edit3: Deleted everything years ago, but squatting on my handle so nobody else can have it.
