Dallineation

I've been wondering lately if I should start a second blog for all my writings about technology and nerdy things.

A blogger I follow – JP at moddedbear.com – recently posted about quxnet, a private social network that is all about recapturing the aesthetic and experience of the open web circa the late 1990s.

I think we had a discounted membership through work when my wife and I were first married (over two decades ago) but we rarely, if ever used it and let it lapse. But last Saturday we got a Costco membership. The primary reason? Protein powder.

Reddit is killing RSS support. On November 13, they are going to remove the ability to subscribe to subreddits via RSS, and their stated reason is weak, at best.
