"(Don't Fear) The Reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult
Prompt Share a song you love that has parentheses (in the title).
A song that would have been in my ‘Just Good Songs’ playlist the day I heard it - it’s just that 🍎 hadn’t got round to inventing it - mainly because mere mortals didn’t have the internet.
👁️ There’s a lot to styling even a few pages isn’t there?😖
👁️ Two new sources added to my ‘central aggregator’ today .. restyling and leaning as I go.

"Rockin' In The Free World (Glastonbury 2009)" by Neil Young
Live. Glastonbury. Well over ten minutes. Neil rockin' out.
In Obsidian there is a plugin called ‘Style Setting’ written by ‘@mgmeyers’. I wonder if a similar plug in could be developed and worked on MicroBlog?
It’s a user friendly mechanism for people to talk to the custom CSS using simple form changes that get applied to the CSS?
… just in case there is anyone out there with some spare time on their hands @AndySylvester 😉 … and I am not sure whether this would be before or after creating a presentation layer for Feedland et al so I can have it look like the rest of my sites.
To me - before would make most sense - and the first use case could be interfacing just to the Feedland CSS?
Filed in ‘A Boy Can Dream Can’t He’?
Getting there.

It is what it is - and this is no exception. Too early to get excited.
So this right here is what might happen
👁️ You don’t want to rebuild your site too often when it is on the ‘larger’ side. Yet to unpack the specifics behind ‘larger’.

"Hi Ren" by Ren Gill
Stunning. A friend shared this with me last year. If you want to listen to a totally original and highly talented artist - start here.
People will be more important in the future, not less.
💬 Mark Zuckerberg
Whilst I fervently believe that - I don’t ~believe him~ think he knows what that really means.

"Permanating" by Steven Wilson
In the Venn Diagram of music that jax and I both like - this one sits high ... so clearly needs to be pulled out first.
👁️ Its decided. Farewell Reeder … Hello (again) NetNewsWire old friend.
To add someone as a friend on the new Friendster iOS app, the two of you have to physically tap your phones together.
💬 Patrick Rhone
Nice idea - downloaded - now we just need to work out where to meet - we are only 8,000 miles / 13,000 kilometres apart.

🔗 Colorless, Shapeless Orb - Gapingvoid
We call it The Void. It’s where most work lives now. Transactional. Comfortable. Manageable. Forgettable. If you’ve ever wondered why our name is so weird, that’s it. We made it our business to kill it.
👁️ Yes. Seperately - love their new home page.
👁️ RSS really seems to be coming back into vogue.
🔗 More from Luis I really like, this time on #RSS: …
when you build on open standards like RSS and OPML, you’re building on freedom. Freedom to use the tools that work best for you. Freedom to own your experience. And freedom to support a healthier, more independent web.
