Great start to MnTech Tech Connect 2025 this morning with Joel Crandell starting things off and then John Sweeney leading a wonderful keynote on having an innovative mindset and being comfortable being uncomfortable. 👏

A reasonable mental model for X.com is as Elon Musk’s personal blog, with commenting enabled. It is no more a “platform” than a casino is a park.

We saw Thunderbolts tonight (opening night) and it thought it was pretty cool. It had a bit more complexity to the story than your average Marvel movie. image

I had Siri read me a long email while walking and it was like stepping back to olden times. The TTS was lacking, not recognizing acronyms and with poor inflection. And I couldn’t even just ask “read this”, that failed. Instead I had to manually select the text and then press “Speak”. 😬

My favorite Indieweb services — Micro.blog and Buttondown — have had a tough week. They worked through it. image
