• Where there’s material worth spending time on, it doesn’t feel right somehow to make one’s every thought and reaction public.

• I like Maya Land’s writing. Very great turns of phrase, intensely link stuffed posts that has you open dozens of tabs
• I might tag this #dark forest for this discussion about how much to put on the open internet today. A vague feeling of unease about being open.
• Ok one more quote (which is right before the above quote), because I want to savour extralaboral time as a phrase:

  • The third part is that in the extralaboral time that I have been spending on this kind of thing, I’ve been doing a lot of reading about the occult. “Occult” itself just means “hidden”, etymologically.

• I have some scribbled notes about this, where basically a small business in Berlin doesn’t compete with one in Vancouver — or even Calgary or Toronto, just in Canada.
• So: how might they work together? Pooling expertise, capital, promotion, etc, while focusing on regional production and sales.
• Move the IP, rather than the product! #BuyLocal

• Pointed out to me that consumer blenders already support glass jar threading. I took a picture of my existing Cuisinart one: collapsed:: true
• Other related links and concepts that came up during this discussion:
  • Pantheon Design is a #3Dprinting #startup in #Vancouver a few blocks from my house that might 3D print composites
  • FabLab Vancouver is a “co-making makerspace” that Emily McGill mentioned to me
    • TODO Add FabLab to the #DWebYVR website
    • Could we do a “build your own blender” small scale class / course / movement locally?

• This is the story of what used to be called #Startupy
• They rebooted it in Summer of 2022

• A few years ago, I published one of those think pieces about finding “language market fit”. I still get emails from frustrated founders seeking help with positioning.

• Kind of like a Github for ideas. Or Pinterest for knowledge. But also not quite like that. Concretely, Sublime is a tool to collect and connect anything interesting you find on the Internet. It’s the simplest way to build your own curated, self-organizing library with all the quotes, links, articles, thoughts, images, and anything else you find interesting. It’s part bookmarking, part note-taking, part social network. But it’s also none of those things.

• I’m not curating my sublime library to build an audience. I’m quietly exposing parts of my library, in case it may resonate with others.

• maybe that’s part of the problem, trying to be legible to everyone
