Giant list of Trump’s misdeeds I look forward to not having to pay as much attention to Politics, assuming that most of the time, things will just truck along in a reasonable way. McSweeney’s Lest We Forget the Horrors: A Catalog of Trump’s Worst Cruelties, Collusions, Corruptions, and Crimes is an incredible listing, color-coded based on the kind of misdeed. It contains more than 1,000 items.

ScribeCount gives wide authors sales data ScribeCount sounds like a useful tool for Publishing wide and works the way I’d design such a system to work. It runs as a browser extension, so it doesn’t require access to your login information for the websites. The browser extension slurps up your sales data and uploads it to their service. Pricing is based on how much money you make from your books.

Koanf: Go configuration library From the release notes of Ory Hydra, I learned about knadh/koanf, a Go library for configuration (via command line or files in various useful formats). It claims to have fewer dependencies than other options, but still has quite a few. The dependencies aren’t unreasonable for what the library does.

Internet 3.0 and the Beginning of Tech History I’m not so certain we’ll see a move back to open/decentralized protocols as @benthompson predicts in this worth-reading article.
I’d love to see it, but there’s so much about the user experience that has proven difficult to get right.
Decentralized is just harder to make work well and a decentralized competitor has to work harder against a fast-moving centralized solution.
Also, a niggle: > The fact that the capability exists for their own leaders to be silenced by an unreachable and unaccountable executive in San Francisco is all that matters

openring: a webring for static site generators As of today, my site is built with a static site generator. openring is a project that provides a means for me to highlight other things that I’m likely to have read. Only downside I see on first glance is that it doesn’t appear to support OPML to get the list of feeds. Ideally, I’d be able to just grab an OPML file from Feedly and have openring select a small number of feeds at random and grab the first item from those.

PowerPoint programming This demo of crazy PowerPoint programming by Tom Wildenhain is amazing. He takes good advantage of PowerPoint’s “morph” transition and ability to make summary slides. Keynote has something like the morph transition, but I don’t think it has the summary slide feature.
