Some links don\u2019t call for a full blog post, but sometimes I still want to share the good stuff I encounter on the web, in a short, quick format that fits with my schedule of raising a baby<\/a>, summer activities, and a few ludicrous displays<\/a> to watch.<\/p>\n

\u2767<\/p>\n

Things I would like to tell my 10 year old self (Winnie Lim)<\/a> \u2013 Another really beautiful post from Winnie Lim, and this is one filled with precious pieces of advice. I was also moved by her own tribute<\/a> to the late Om Malik.<\/p>\n

Ninety\u2013ninety rule<\/a> \u2013 When I learned about this, I immediately thought \u201cOh, this is so good: I\u2019m going to tell everyone I know that works in software about it<\/em>\u201d. If you\u2019re one of these people, sorry (not sorry) in advance. (via Gruber<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Robert Smith\u2019s favourite songs from the 1980s<\/a> \u2013 Excellent\u2026 [clears throat] curated<\/em> list indeed, especially my cup of tea since it features no less than two songs written by Prince. (via Daniel Benneworth-Gray<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Wipr Filtr<\/a> \u2013 Newest feature of my favourite content blocker: I want to describe it as a sort-of content filter but operated at the network level, so it\u2019s not only efficient in Safari but other apps connected to the internet (something like that; pretty cool).<\/p>\n

GoldenEye Villa<\/a> \u2013 Well, now this<\/em> is a place I could see myself spending a year or two.<\/p>\n

Designing Friction<\/a> \u2013 \u201cFriction drives our engagement. Friction, in this context, is not synonymous with either anger or conflict, nor is it malfunctioning technology. Friction is an essential ingredient that makes up our humanness and sparks human connection. Friction is a lively, intrinsic experience.<\/em>\u201d (via Carl Barenbrug<\/a>)<\/p>\n

A.I. Economics for Dummies (McSweeney\u2019s)<\/a> \u2013 \u201cA few examples to help the average layperson understand the business side of A.I.<\/em>\u201d This is gold.<\/p>\n

Meet the Sad Wives of A.I.<\/a> \u2013 \u201cIn New York, I had a friend who\u2019s a teacher, a friend who\u2019s a nurse, a friend in fashion, a friend in finance\u2014and none of us talked about our jobs when we went out. Every time I go out in San Francisco, it feels like I\u2019m at a work happy hour. I don\u2019t get it.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

cc.me \u2014 email<\/a> \u2013 In the context of iCloud\u2019s Hide My Email being a bit shite<\/a>, this is a very welcome service coming from the great folks at xmit<\/a> (the tool I use to host this site); it shouldn\u2019t be free, but it is.<\/p>\n

PopsicleBoat<\/a> \u2013 \u201cA comment section for your blog, without you having to run a comment section.<\/em>\u201d This makes a lot of sense to me. I don\u2019t use comments on this blog, but I can see how this can be very useful on certain posts that would call for a more public exchange than just direct emails from readers. When I do need a place like this (especially since I\u2019m not on social media anymore), this is certainly what I will use (also: no ads, no tracking).<\/p>\n
