KicksCondor: Gardens and Streams. Notes on 2020-04-25-AldrichGardensAndStreams. One of the things that I have found, in practice, is that human curation and human moderation seems to be at the heart of what we have to do. You can give me as many automated tools as you want, but I’m still the one that has to choose what’s going to go in my wiki and how I’m going to authorize other users to modify it. (more)

Chris Aldrich: Idea for a spaced repetition (SRS) user interface for Hypothes.is. I was looking at tools to pull annotations out of Kindle the other day and ran across Readwise again. Part of its functionality pulls highlights and annotations out of Kindle and then it has some UI that uses the idea of spaced repetition to have you regularly review what you’ve previously read and highlighted and presumably wanted to remember or use in the future (more)

John Otander is building a WIP Digital Garden app. Digital Garden is a content-first project meant to make it easier to write and curate content on the web. This is a project I've built for myself but hope it can be useful for other folks looking to create their own gardens that leverage the open web. You can use components in your content seamlessly using MDX which is rad for writing.

KicksCondor on Blogchats. Blogchat is a misnomer because I interview people over e-mail. But the actual conversation comes alive when it is posted to the blog. (more)

Kevin Cunningham on Webmentions and Campfires. Seeing that as I’m engaging with the thinking of others, I’m metaphorically looking towards them. The problem is, how do they know I’m talking about and to them? Or, how do I know if someone is talking to me? (more)

Hulu (/ˈhuːluː/) is an American subscription video on-demand (streaming) service fully controlled and majority-owned by Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer & International, a business segment of The Walt Disney Company, with NBCUniversal, owned by Comcast, as an equity stakeholder. The service was initially established as a joint venture between News Corporation and NBC Universal, Providence Equity Partners, and later The Walt Disney Company, serving as an aggregation of recent episodes of television series from their respective TV networks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulu

Most of my professional career has been spent at consumer internet companies. The world wide web was just heating up when I finished my undergrad education, and like many grads from Stanford, tech was always top of mind. I started off at Amazon.com and was there for seven years working on all sorts of things, but mostly product. I left Amazon to be a filmmaker, went to editing school at The Edit Center in NYC, then to UCLA Film School in their graduate directing program. But tech pulled me back in after just one year in film school. That summer I joined the company that would become Hulu, leading the product, design, editorial, and marketing teams. In 2011 I formed a startup called Erly with a few friends. We were purchased in 2012 by Airtime, and I left that in late 2012. I was the head of product at Flipboard for two years, then the Head of Video at Oculus, which I left in July 2017. I'm now working on some of my own ideas, most of which sit at the intersection of media and technology, as well as doing some advising and angel investing. https://www.eugenewei.com/

book by Keith Johnstone on Improv

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962; second edition 1970; third edition 1996; fourth edition 2012) is a book about the history of science by the philosopher Thomas Kuhn. Its publication was a landmark event in the history, philosophy, and sociology of scientific knowledge. Kuhn challenged the then prevailing view of progress in science in which scientific progress was viewed as "development-by-accumulation" of accepted facts and theories. Kuhn argued for an episodic model in which periods of conceptual continuity where there is cumulative progress, which Kuhn referred to as periods of "normal science", were interrupted by periods of revolutionary science. The discovery of "anomalies" during revolutions in science leads to new paradigms. New paradigms then ask new questions of old data, move beyond the mere "puzzle-solving" of the previous paradigm, change the rules of the game and the "map" directing new research.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions
