⤷ Interstitial Journaling in Roam Research ●

This is a great idea for all sorts of journaling systems, not just Roam. That said, Roam feels built for this kind of journaling. I’ve been trying this sort of thing (minus the individualized thoughts) as I use Roam to build out a CRM of sorts.

⤷ Kyle Vollaers Cinematic Lightroom Presets ●

I picked up this pack yesterday and did some experimentation. I really like the moodiness these ones provide. As always, start with these presets and build your own look out from there.

⤷ Portra Pushed from Mastin Labs ●

These are some warm and golden presets that should go well with any moody or high contrast look you’re going for. Beautiful.

I’m glad this fiasco is over — we can get back to watching the Basecamp team continue revolutionizing how we treat email. I hope they set their sights on allowing notifications for when a new sender hits The Screener and for when emails hit the Imbox.

⤷ Hey, Nah ●

Nick Heer’s (now somewhat dated) analysis of the HEY controversy with Apple is worth a read. I think this whole “Big business gets to pick and choose winners and losers” is something to keep our eyes on as institutions get bigger and bigger. If you think it’s bad when big business gets to dictate winners and losers, imagine how bad it is when government gets ultra-big.
