Excellent points. I watched The Mother of All Demo's at Reboot in Copenhagen in 2005, and it blew my mind. It also helped that Mr Engelbart himself was "present" live via videolink from the US.

Reading Vannevar Bush's "As We May Think" a few years earlier while at university, equally blew my mind.

I remember sharing Bush's article with my dad, to show him that smartphones weren't a new invention, but rather reality finally catching up with a postwar vision of how technology could be of help to us.

I try to use Firefox, or some other browser, as often as I can. Like you, no major gripes. Hoping it continues like that (:

I agree, it does feel a lot more social this way, and more seamless to interact with each other. I'm digging your new icons btw, looks good (:

Yes, I was showing Aaron's rotating avatar on mobile device to a friend the other day, it's genius (:

It looks like the Data Portability Project site got hacked. At least Google thinks so (https://i.imgur.com/ZN03g7S.png). Either way, the wiki that should hold all the info about the project, is unreachable. @chrissaad do you know what happened?

I'm really enjoying using the Memex browser extension from https://worldbrain.io. Very useful, enabling you to search your browser history, and for annotating to the pages you visit and read.

Been looking for a good bookmark tool for a while, and came across https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli. Excellent little tool. Imported my bookmarks from del.icio.us and raindrop.io without a hitch. One more piece of my puzzle falls into place.

Still images has been manipulated since the inception of the media. For moving images, we have deepfakes. Combined with technology like Adobe's VoCo, and anyone will be able to say anything.

An excellent Chrome experiment for playing with sounds. Targeted to kids, but I just spend an easy 30minutes there, with my inside kid.

Got an email in my inbox for an event. In the marketing text, this section is included

"[...] and most importantly, amazing instagram photos to make your friends have serious FOMO."

That's when I instantly know, that I'm not supposed to go to this event.

The 2 volumes of "The Travels of Marco Polo" from gutenberg.org should be good fuel for my autumn.
