No need to bring you up to speed about that google short code to bypass Google’s world of enshitification - except to say 🔗 Ernie at Tedium built a web site to make it ‘easy for all’
I stumbled across this today as I was collecting 🖇️ these. I nearly moved through because ‘Kelly’ - but I am a sucker for Jeff, so …
Holy Crap …🔗 🎵 📼 Jeff Daniels
.. I was under the impression he had only recently written it - but this from 13 years ago - suggests otherwise.
If you are reading this post on my site, you will see that this link is rendered as an embedded video at the bottom of the post. (THANKYOU @rknightuk]. It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.
… another two ‘broken links’ .. has something changed?
In no particular order (except for perhaps the first two) …

We all get that broken link message from time to time don’t we? What is particularly interesting on this post is to find EIGHT blocks - I wonder if it is the writers insisting on the block - I don’t think there I any other constant.

Don’t worry, it’s not my usual rant. Just a very funny piece of standup that needs to be watched more than it has.

I’d already playing with them without knowing the name. I was nearly ‘done’ and then Pratik shared this. Menu item added.
Hat Tips to @rknightuk @bjhess @sivers @alastairjohnston @manuelmoreale @goblingumbo @pratik @simonwoods - you have each inspired me on this one.
I tried the Spark introductory Premium offer last year - and while some things are interesting and cool - at a renewal of 60 bucks … yeah - not that interesting and cool … and then I just spotted that they seem to be in the SetApp store.
If I know the answer - can I win? Or, do I really have to guess?

Category Culls and Categorization
If you have been keeping track - you have haven’t you? … You will know that I am around about a year into a ‘category culling’ on my site. I’m there. Except I am not.
As of 5 minutes ago - the last category died - number 5 below.
The objective was always to reduce the number to something more manageable. Believe it or not - this lot is around a 1/3 to 1/2 of what it used to be.
But am I really there? Could I go further? .. and really, it has to be recognized that this is mainly for me.
The Key
1 - The post a day category for 2024 (flagged because it is in a straight of reorganizational flux).
2 - Experimental category o next couple of weeks it will either be dead or committed.
3 - 15 years ago I had a site of jokes which got imported as part of my web site consolidation program. Seperately I do flag humorous things. I should merge the two.
4 - It was never an ‘Instagram import’ - 18 images that came from Insta - shouldn’t they just be ‘photos’.
5 - Gone.
6 - I want to move all ‘titled-posts’ to ‘long form’ - if indeed they are long form - a long arduous (who cares) job.
7 - my’xxxx' was a way to keep the categories organized for past year as I organized - do I still need the ‘my’.
8 - hangover from the People First site - they don’t need a category - so long as I can search and pull them up - thinking.
9 - people first is the preferred - so need to move peoplefirst across.
10 - do I need quote and quote wise? Quote is a quote - quote wise are the images that Readwise can deliver.
11 - another WIP - that will eventually become the ‘top 10 of each category.
I have to say, being English and all that - well, I don’t usually do this kind of thing - but he gave me permission to use his name, so …

Honored? Without a doubt.
Speechless? Definitely. Apparently not.
GOBSMACKED? Totally.
