I'm going to sleep on it, but I think it's time to move one from twitter, folks. I didn't expect to be saying that.

I have, to be honest, been wondering how valuable twitter is to me. And that's now been driven off a cliff. I'd been doing some robot posts on some of my projects, but those are terminated. I don't think they really did much, anyway.

@kentbrew I... don't hate it as much as expected. But I don't love it. The "the new USENET" vibe is heavy on it, and so I don't expect it to survive the growth it's seeing well.

@chuq I've been really enjoying Mastodon so far. See you on the other side, wherever that might be!

okay, I'm thinking it over but probably going to just drop watching twitter. As a reminder, you can always find places I'm at here: leopard-manatee-fth9.squarespace.com/config/pages best way to keep track of what I'm doing is my monthly newsletter, 6FPS: chuq.me/6fps

and you can connect in with me on Mastodon instead: @chuqvr@mastogram.com

well, maybe it's time to cut my losses here.

it's snowing this morning.

Audubon invited me to put together an illustrated story about Weird Duck Time. My inner nerdy 10-year-old is thrilled that people are using this goofy term. An Ode to Weird Duck Time audubon.org/news/an-ode-we… via @audubonsociety
