    Interview with Mastodon creator, Eugen Rochko

    Nilay Patel interviewed Mastodon’s creator, Eugen Rochko recently. Listening to Rochko reinforces Mastodon’s importance to me, and why a distributed and open social network like this is so important both today and in the foreseeable future. I recommend listening to the interview and/or reading the transcript.

  • Consistency of perspective

    Consistency of perspective

    I really enjoyed this comment by Hank Green about consistency of perspective.

  • When kids start treating the staff poorly

    When kids start treating the staff poorly

    Reconcilable Differences #66, titled “Inherent Injustice”, is both hilarious and cringeworthy for parents. The hosts, Merlin Mann and John Siracusa, were talking about raising young kids, setting examples for them, and issuing parental edicts.

  • What “content marketing” really is

    What “content marketing” really is

    The term “content marketing” has been heavily abused. I found this discussion about what it really is to be well worth listening to.

  • Better management

    Better management

    Having been a manager and an employee, managed as part of a team, techniques for and examples of effectively management is pretty interesting to me. I have been listening to a great podcast discussion about this and I wanted to share that.
