Link Blog Relaunched

I got my Link Blog up and running again. It is still plenty rough around the edges. This gives the links that I share in the Weekly Thing a permanent home on the web.

As an experiment I’ve also put the Commento commenting system on it to see if that is interesting.

I also created Index pages for sites so you can see all links I’ve save for a site. See this Index for the EFF website as an example.

On my to do list is Annum pages that show statistics for each year.

Just tried Buildzi for the first time. This is a great, fast family game. You can give the younger ones a head start too. A lot of family fun.

I am very proud that we have elected our first ever Woman Vice-President, Kamala Harris. I learned a bit as well from her wearing a “Suffrage White” suit, and connecting back to the 100 year anniversary of the 19th Ammendment. 👏

I love our outdoor patio space at night. A warm November day bonus with no bugs! The Yellow Table is a recent addition. I hung the yellow Herrnhuter today. We should add some blue to make the Swedish connection. 🇸🇪

"Learn to play the violin"

I love this Drucker quote that my coach shared with me.

Drucker, who believed that the most effective managers look across a range of disciplines and draw on all of the humanities and sciences, would have loved Martin’s analysis. Indeed, it is said that a young person once asked Drucker how to excel as a manager. “Learn to play the violin,” he replied.

Emphasis mine. I found this reference to it. The appreciation and desire to understand a broad range of topics, to bring more context to everything else, is something I feel strongly about.
