How cool to see @davewiner in the Observer this morning. It is like seeing someone you know (though obviously I don’t). John Naughton ends “So why not log off social media get yourself an RSS reader and wise up?” online version.
liked: Re: Reflections on Transition C – Final Thoughts
Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)Thank you Tom for sharing your thoughts and reflections on Transitions19 conference. I was really taken by your comment on the need for more subjective sharing from the fields, rather than relying on PhDs.

Bass Rock
Went on a trip to Bass Rock with Dorothy & my New Camera, Cannon SX540, the swell made taking photos hit or miss. A beautiful day, spectacular island & gannets are wonderful birds.

Listened: Open Source and Power with Matt Mullenweg
This was a fascinating podcast. Matt Mullenweg had spoken of an ambition to get WordPress to 80% of the web. Heinemeier Hansson took him to task on twitter and they ended up in a podcast.
An example of civil discussion and disagreement on the internet. Moving off twitter to a better medium.

It gave me a little insight into the scale of the web. Left me feeling pretty naive.
A few mentions of capitalism had me wondering what a socialist web would look like?

Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)document.designMode is another useful tool when teaching the web and manipulation of content.
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()
Second time walking in Glen Douglas hills this week. What a contrast with Monday. Saw a healthy looking hill fox running across. Deer loomed in the murk and stags roaring.
