I picked up a new “Mozzarella cheese” from a vegan brand I like. I understand the marketing, but calling vegan products cheese or meat is bullshit. They don’t taste like the real thing. People who look to replace the real thing with the “fake” version get disappointed anyway.
Isn’t “Cashew spread with herbs and spices” more appealing? Need to market it? How about “Cashew spread with a kick” or something similar? It would also skip the chemicals they add to make these taste, look, and smell like the real thing. I think the “fake milk” industry is catching on, though slowly.
How do you Read it Later?
Turns out Micro.blog has quietly been archiving a copy of every link I’ve ever posted, like a squirrel with a library card. I was sorting through my stuff, and now I wonder: how do others handle the potential link rot?

How do you Title your Posts?
I’ve been writing headlines since college and never settled on a capitalization convention, which is why the titles on my blog are inconsistent. I looked up the AP Stylebook, which used to be my guide, but it made things worse. Back to the drawing board.

I love how one blog led me to another, which led me to a cool IndieWeb thing, which got me to write an email, which put me in a good mood to write a quick post like this. IndieWeb is live and well, and it’s good to have colorful blogs in the morning before I dive into the grind.
On Pages that Aren't Pages
Marisabel is hosting this month’s IndieWeb Carnival, and the theme is Pages. What do pages mean to me? The paper notebooks that never stuck, the Denote info-notes, and the other writing that isn’t measured… Is that good, bad, or neither?
Glove80: One Month in
One month with the Glove80: RSI is gone, but so is my WASD as a gamer. My thumbs now expect function keys that no other keyboard has. I cringe at normal keyboards now. Short version: I turned into a keyboard snob
It's Not Enough, But it's Something
The Cornell case and why the real work is the awkward conversation with the men around you. I’ve heard those jokes at work too, and I stayed quiet because the cost of speaking up was too high.
It's Time to Wipe my Desktop
Wiping your computer is like moving. You promise yourself you’ll label the boxes this time, then spend a week hunting for a script that lets you rotate videos in MPV with a hotkey.
