This microcast covers ethics in decision-making for technology companies and (related!) some recent purchases I’ve made.
Delighted to see Doug’s microcast in his RSS feed. I also love Doug’s wrestling with his technology stack. Over the years it has gone back and forwards and is always fascinating to read Doug’s thoughts on the whys and wherefores.
Read: Bloodchild by Octavia E. Butler ★★★☆☆
Read: Cloudstreet by Tim Winton ★★★☆☆ I probably would not have finished this if I had another novel to hand, but I did enjoy it more as I went on. Family saga, I imagine this would speak to Australians more than me.
Read Ask Again, Yes by by Mary Beth Keane ★★★☆☆

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for this, a useful replacement for Mozzila’s x-ray for learning, teaching and playing with the web.
I wondered about using this on iOS and found I could make the simplest of shortcuts.
document.designMode='on';
completion();
I’ve not used a shortcut for running JavaScript in mobile Safari before so useful to learn about completion()
I saw Martin Weller’s tweet out for a randomizing text generator: He got lots of replies (which is what make twitter useful when often it can not be), though many were just offering tools, no…
Hi Alan,
Love the random. Had a wee go at forking and having a googlesheet as a source. It might be a way of folk making their own without having to edit html…

Heard by chance BBC Radio 4 – The Sound Odyssey, Nubya Garcia’s Ethio-Jazz Odyssey. I know nothing about jazz but heard the links with Dub Colossus, “A Town Calledd Addis” etc. Wondering if there is a good place to start listening to Ethio-Jazz?
