I enjoy listening to Henry Rollins

This performance needs more views. That is damn impressive.

“[Untitled]” by @dimsumthinking got me thinking. He makes some good points (scan-ability, for instance), but for me it’s not that short posts need a title —I’m totally fine with that aspect— but seeing that ‘title’ in regular RSS readers makes it feel a little like a placeholder for an unfinished draft (though, perhaps, one might argue that a short post is the draft idea for a long post).

But I’ll take it for now, and I hope Micro.blog and its mission continues to grow in success in 2019.

Addendum: A feature-request for @manton: the option to specify a custom string for an account’s untitled posts. I might pick, for example, “muncman’s status at {timestamp}” or even “(short post).” (I wonder if this is already on the roadmap… or if it is not part of some spec default and even possible.)

Planning to simplify, reduce and minimize some things this year. I’ve begun by trimming my podcast subscriptions. Started easy with defunct ones. On to some harder ones now. My “completionist” tendencies are fighting me — but year-end is as good a time as any to make a break.
