8mm movie film cannisters on shelves

It seems like this is turning into an Emacs blog.
Not that there's anything wrong with that :).


It's getting harder and harder to discover useful videos on YouTube. Every thumbnail is created using the same "Make a crazy face and point at something!" format. Every title is a despirate grab for attention. The recommendation algorithm is all over the map and usually not helpful. I rely on subscriptions to known quantities and recommendations from other people. I wish it was better.


Dave's still doing fun stuff with Tinderbox.

I decided to try something new and I created a "quote"-type post.

I've been meaning to do something similar, but haven't gotten around to it. I'd probably not be so fancy. I also like the <cite> block in quotes, as seen above. That would be even more involved. Right now I have a bookmarklet that copies a Markdown-formatted version and I tweak it by hand as needed.


I'm thinking about migrating all of the content from the wiki into individual text (.md or .org) files and freezing the wiki. I love the thing, but I would like to focus my attention on Emacs/Org/etc. right now.
