    Progressive enhancement is the philosophy of stratification and graceful technological degradation with progression. Extremes but without extreme failure…

    , this matters more than online. The Internet/computer is a sort of post scarcity black hole experiment. You better have a way of converting your belongings back into its analog or you might lose them completely :-)

    My deprecated its email services recently. I’ve heard that unfortunately many people learned the hard way what a really entails. My isp’s recommendation? Create a free gmail.com or mail.com account, but “free” is a nebulous term…

    It’s quiet now, but the “One Thing Well” blog is where I discovered most of the programs I use today. I got my first personal computer roughly about two years before that blog started.

    Every so often I stumble upon really interesting YouTube channels. It doesn’t take very long though for all of them to go “poof” ..and gone.

    Speaking of this channel revisits old mmorpgs in current year. It’s mind blowing that many of them are still going, and that people still play them. I can’t even remember the last time I played a game, let alone a mmorpg.

    It just dawned on me that social media is exactly like a . Think about it — we’ve got characters/personas, bots, cheat codes/walkthroughs and black markets that sell accounts, followers, and clicks. (was on the shady side of the net today)

    , it’s a fascinating demonstration of psychological prowess that corporations have convinced everyone that programming/computing is hard.

    People are smart, take what they can get, and deal with a lot of computing frustation. Software is bespoke enough that technically you have to “program” in roundabout ways to get useful things done (generality).

    One reason my web traffic statistics are public is to demonstrate why having a website might not be worth your while. Sometimes I’m asked to make a website/application but the person asking is none the wiser on Internet trickery and deception.

    You think you want a website, but what you’re really looking for is marketing (network effects) for your product or skill set. It’s great when a sad ending is averted.
