Is it weird that I mostly want to go to Japan to watch a baseball game and ride around on the trains?
Hi James,
I very much agree with what you've written — I think another factor may be that many bloggers mimic styles of writing with which they're familiar, e.g. newspaper-style journalism.
You're post also reminds me of one of my favorite Virginia Woolf quotes:
Of all forms of literature, however, the essay is the one which least calls for the use of long words. The principle which controls it is simply that it should give pleasure; the desire which impels us when we take it from the shelf is simply to receive pleasure. Everything in an essay must be subdued to that end. It should lay us under a spell with its first word, and we should only wake, refreshed, with its last.
— Virginia Woolf, The Modern Essay
Do you think blogs are a bit like essays as Woolf has described them?

How open source works is: If you want something, you can build it.
This isn't exactly true, Ghost. As the stated stewards of an open source project it is your responsibility to cultivate a community and tooling to support that community...open source isn't a free-to-play sandbox.
Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”
and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances. Therefore, to the same natural effects we must, as far as possible, assign the same causes
The simplest explanation is usually the correct one
My son is 2.5 years old. At this point I’m not worried about the quality of education he’ll receive, the educational philosophy of his school, or anything of that sort. I’m worried if he’ll be murdered at school.

Today I had a phone interview, made lunch, and entertained a toddler all at the same time. All in all, I think all three tasks went pretty well 🤞
In “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (1831), Victor Hugo noted that, in the late Middle Ages, printing threatened architecture as the dominant mode for the church to convey cultural meaning. “The book of stone, so solid and so enduring, was to give way to the book of paper, more solid and more enduring still.” Put the book and the building together, and you have the potential for structures of almost overwhelming significance.
