A gear acquisition syndrome haiku: Got a 909 The last drum machine I need Wait… a cheap Linndrum…?

In 1994, I was listening to Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy thinking to myself “this old classic rock stuff is pretty nice”. The album was 20 years old at the time. This year Nine Inch Nail’s Downward Spiral turned 30. I’m still letting that all that sink in.

I sometimes feel bad for posting random thoughts to the internet, because it feels like contributing to the growing mass of noise (which we call “content” euphemistically). In an increasingly phone-addicted world, do I want to give someone another reason to stay awhile on their device? If I’m going to contribute, let it be something that the reader takes with them, a tool to use, a laugh, a lesson, a story. Not more toxic positivity or negativity, but something authentic. Then again, sometimes it’s nice just to muse.

I agree with @Matthewcabin, Public.me feels like the right mix of the old web taking advantage of new tech. Fantastic. Now I want to subscribe or follow someone’s posts, and they show up in my iMessage as if I’m having a conversation with them, and I can respond directly from there and they become replies on their posts.

The medium is the message. Don’t overthink it. If the medium is a text message, send a text message.
