    My 1st paper came out of a sci fair project that required 2 pieces of equipment: a student copy of Matlab ($100) & a computer. You don't need lots of funding or a fancy lab to do great work, but mentors who help you communicate that work to the right community are key for impact.

    I miss the useless web. I miss your grandpa’s blog. I miss weird web art projects that trolled me. I miss fan pages for things like hippos. I wish I didn’t feel like the web was collapsing into just a few sites plus a thousand resumes.

    I don't get why Apple's restrictive app store policies don't get criticized more. One company (with market cap approaching $1 trillion) gets more de-facto filtering power over mobile internet users than many governments, heavily wields it, and so few tech people seem to complain.

    Idea: find a list of the ugliest buildings in the world where the architect of the building is still alive. Then do a documentary interviewing them to find out why they did what they did. Have Werner Herzog do it.

    Just published an in-depth piece on the challenges but increasingly bold economics for open source maintainers. Lots of new orgs trying to help here, including Patreon, Open Collective, License Zero, and Tidelift. Much, much more to watch in this space in the coming years

    I've decided to start publishing my random notes: Updated monthly. Expect thoughts on governance, reputation, tech culture...and weird art ideas, sometimes? Basically whatever I scribble down while half-asleep at 4am.
