I am tired of listening to comments on Facebook, mentioning it’s already too late or no point now or the platform is too valuable. We need to stop this. We are conveying to owners & other parties involved that _don’t worry. It doesn’t matter how bad you screw up. You own us.

iPad still remains the best device for consumption. And shines at times even for creation given it allows focus. On a Mac, I keep getting distracted with all sorts of projects. On my iPad, I can really focus on reading and writing - two things I prefer to be done on an iPad.

It's just that people who use the new Google-powered system will get a big warning when they come to visit. "This place is awful," the warning will say. "It has terrorists. If you go inside they'll probably kill you." To which I say, whatever.

Every now & then, I come across a IndieWeb enabled site with all the principles implemented, working just the way they were meant to. And it is then that I see the power of this initiative. Whatever it takes, I need to reach there.

I wonder can we not post titles with notes in quill? I want to post replies with some comments, but such posts always have empty titles. I need to link to the original posts without fetching the title of the link.

@eli I see you doing this with your like/reply posts. How?

It was great listening to @modernlittleme. I say this again, it is refreshing to hear new thoughts, new voices, new likings on podcasts than the regular tech-focused ones. And just for that @monday is going to succeed.

A good book is the one that makes you shout at a character to not do a thing he's doing. To not say a thing he's about to say. That makes you feel sorry/happy for what has or is about to happen.

That awes you. And that shocks you. In short, the one that keeps you engrossed.

It is so difficult, even frustrating at times, to find just that right combination of a pen and paper that works for you. No point having just that one perfect one without the other.

When your mind is loaded with stuff, from work and from home and from others, it stops churning thoughts. Nothing interesting comes out.

It needs space to stretch and stroll and wander to be creative. To be productive. Unfortunately, this fact is lost on many.

A delicious multi-course meal is always the best way to get through a tedious work week.
