Pro tip: stop worrying about the algorithm, and just make things that make you happy, feed your spirit, and that you think other people will like. In that order.
No joke, I really try not to look at any analytics, I care more about comments than page views, I haven’t looked at the stats from my blog or my YouTube. Looking at analytics only gives me stress, making stuff does not stress me out, so I try to optimize for *not stress.*
The world is littered with 9 episode podcasts that gave up after a few months. No one listened to my podcast for 100 episodes. But I wasn’t doing it for the audience, I was doing it *for the conversations.* (Not sure if folks listen now, no Apple iTunes lists, no awards)
Is this #HBOMax#WW84 film grain a compression artifact or was this intentional? The film is glorious but the grain is overwhelmingly distracting.
I’ve been looking closely at this and here’s what I thing. #ww84 added a film grain to get that 80s look, but expected the film to be on a big screen at a FAR FAR higher bitate. Whatever codec that #HBOMax is using is emphasizing the grain to the point of distraction.
Moving off the Xbox #hbomax app to a chromecast ultra to see if 4k helps #ww84’s film grain
After a week of virtual high school here’s the virdict - online document management is a hot mess. It’s a mishmash and URLs, PDFs, google docs, links to docs, attachments, and proprietary comment systems. Underpowered Chromebooks struggling to zoom, PDFs with no way to markup.
Watching my kids get a crash course in online document management. We are stuck at 80% as an industry and we have no standards other than nasty looking URLs, OAuth, and the clipboard. The kids are the integration point and everyone is struggling.
The teachers are just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “email me a photo of your PDF.” This is an area that needs open standards, not better google docs or O365 systems. Document templates -> document instances -> links or copies.
