Giving the camera to the kid always rewards me with the most interesting photos. They’re always taken with a perspective free of rules and ego.
Ipsum
Ipsum is a journaling app [for iOS] dialed down to what’s essential.
It features a chat-like interface, where all a user has to do is type down what they want to add to their journal and press send, just as they would in Messages or WhatsApp.
The user interface is wonderfully simple and faff-free, but–since there doesn’t seem to be a way to back up, export or sync text written in the app–it’s probably best to think of Ipsum as an ephemeral notebook for disposable jottings, rather than a journal or diary.
This is totally the sort of thing I would have linked to on Minimal Mac back in the day. An interesting and simple approach to a journaling app.

This minute is unapologetically wiped out by the next. This hour is slowly, quietly, sneaking away from us, never to be heard from again. Each breath is a complex blend of somberness, loss, awkward exclusiveness, gratitude, calm, and opportunity.
Busy.
These two.
The ways out.

“The same fights we have over the role of our government now and the size of our government now are the fights they were having. Add the brutality of slavery to that mix as an undercurrent in all of those decisions. So I guess the biggest takeaway is, yes, this election cycle is bizarre. But it’s no more bizarre than the election in 1800, wherein Jefferson accused Adams of being a hermaphrodite and Adams responded by [spreading rumors] that Jefferson died, so Adams would be the only viable candidate. He was counting on news to travel slow! That, weirdly, gives me hope.”
There is so much insight about the repetition of history in this entire interview. Read the whole thing.
Your human-size life
Live a gentle human-size life. Go for a walk in your middle-class neighborhood and run into a friend of a friend and share what you see, and influence their life for the better. That’s the kind of thing a human can do.
So much to ponder here. Yet, I can tell you from personal experience it’s all true.
Seth’s Blog: Read more blogs
For those of you that have been engaging with this blog for months or years, please share this post with ten friends you care about. We don’t have to sit idly by while powerful choke points push us toward ad-filled noisy media.
Agreed. I love blogs, always have. Subscribe to about 50 in my RSS reader of choice. Maintain more than my fair share too.
I figure I have at least ten friends here that I care about so, just doing my part as Seth suggests.
