I do not usually filter or edit but I though this was nice.
Email is a powerful tool, but it feels like using a shovel to cut down a tree.
Macdrifter is one of my favourite mac blogs. Disappeared for a while and recently sprung back to life. I noticed through the power of RSS.
This post takes a look at digital gardening and looks at some of the elements of IndieWeb & blogging I am interested in.
Stars, favorites, reading lists,bookmarks, notes, playlists, and the whole mess of podcasts, is exhausting to keep track of, let alone keep alive and healthy.

I think I want to return to this old-fashioned concept of blogging for Macdrifter. I want to worry less about “reviewing” things and more about leaving tasty breadcrumbs.
