It's become more and more clear over the last few months and years that it is important to have control over your content. (I'm not going to say "own" your content, because some of it may feature you and created by others.)So this weekend, I thought it was time to bring back my link blog.

For about half a decade I had one of these running on Wordpress; at some moment, when work and life got busy, I abandoned this and also stopped looking at the quirky, thoughtful, awesome things you could find on the internet.I thought "oh, I can always find that back somehow these days." Well, wrong. I'm going to use this little space on the internet to put the greatest hits of what I encounter.You can find it at maykelloomans.com/noteb…; I'll add an RSS feed for it soon as well.

If you don't understand that this feature is basically asynchronous phone calls for people who are busy, may live in different time zones, etc. I don't know what to tell you.

There’s no better way to tell someone that your time is more valuable than theirs than to send a voice note.

May be a Twitter screenshot of microphone and text that says 'Raise to listen 10:24 Play All (2)'

Oh, and they also sell your data. So if you needed reasons not to buy an Eight Sleep, here ya go.

Alright, well this is objectively pretty funny.

May be a meme of bed, mattress, bedroom and text that says 'AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright by Calum Patterson Published: Oct 21, 2025, 2025,07:53 07:53 ETCHT 달골T SLEEP LEEP EIGHT SLEEP major Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage on October 20 had the unexpected side effect of causing chaos in bedrooms across the US, as owners of Eight Sleep's $2,000+ 'Pod' mattress covers found their smart beds had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures and odd positions in the night.'

Woa, the company that made everyone think/misconstrue "you shouldn't have settings and have an opinionated design"... added a setting for Liquid Glass.theverge.com/news…

Last week, I had an amazing time catching up with some of my favourite internet people at Kinference. And I also got to blow off some steam talking about the state of digital product design.(Took a bunch of photos that I'll post soon, but linked to some great ones in the thread.)

May be a graphic of poster and text that says 'Most corporations are a pyramid scheme of student projects propped up by acronyms.'

Imagine being on top of your category for a very very long time and then just shooting yourself in the foot by locking up data.Well, that's what Garmin is doing, and a good enough reason to never buy their product ever again.theguardian.com/techn…

Explain it to me quickly: why are runners and riders freaking out about a feud between Strava and Garmin?

I've had this thought go around my head that LCD Soundsystem is the most "Brooklyn" band we've ever seen, especially with the staying power... who else would you file under this?

The Threads app suggestion unit in IG not linking to the site but only to the app download is one of those typical examples of user hostility we're used to from Meta.
