The Omni Group is 30 years old.
Jesus.
You know, I kind of think OmniFocus would look better on NeXTSTEP. (I kid, I love their software, but I think on that one front I’ve settled on Things.)
I did have the pleasure of running OmniWeb on a rescued NeXTcube … nearly a decade after the machine was made and a half decade after OmniWeb first came out.
A hard decision made, and just the hope of a new focus (coming around the corner), regardless of the challenges, has innate interests that have been dormant for a few years sprouting signs of life.
I think I’m doing the right thing.
The last Twitter lockout I remember is when the FBI seized the servers running predecessor code right out of Rackspace’s racks in 2004 😉(Indymedia and Cryptome were implicated/affected too).
We’ve not really figured out printing, calendaring or email… what makes anyone think we’ve got the rest of this figured out is beyond me.
Gave The Problem With Jon Stewart another chance this week. The Taxes episode was a classic redux of a fairly fundamental (and dare I say, potentially very non-partisan) analysis of an unresponsive government and corruption. It also came off like a validation of David Graeber’s Bullshit Jobs.
I keep placing my coffee mug on my wireless induction charging pad, as if it were a coaster. ☕️🪫
Not the most artful shot, but an accurate representation of “a day in the life” common event — a low-flying military helicopter over Capitol Hill, Washington, DC. October 14, 08:56 ET.
Currently reading: The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow 📚
I first encountered Graeber (¡Presente!) on an Indymedia livestream giving an interview or speaking at a teach-in during a convergence to protest WTO or WEF. Something like that. Pre-9/11 revolutionary optimism on my part.
… the fiefdoms remain. There doesn’t seem to be a combination of browser extensions that gives me the combination of features I want, in the experience I want, to have some parity across the multiple browsers I use every day. The shortlist (this is not all-inclusive) might be: Safari’s “merge all windows” Safari’s “arrange tabs by web site” (or alphabetically by title) Chrome’s tab groups (Safari’s groups are closest, But I like the in-tab-bar experience a little better) Syncing of groups across instances/platforms on that browser (Safari does it best, I want the same experience on Chrome, Firefox) Firefox’s containers
A 🥃 to the equinox. 🍂
