Went to see Mary Poppins Returns last night. I haven’t been to a movie theater in a while. The critics had mixed reviews about the sequel. I think that anything people waited 54 years for has trouble living up to their imagination. But the people who made it clearly were trying to honor the spirit of the original. It is definitely worth a look.

Just paid for web upgrade to @pocketcasts as seems to be the only way to get history, hoping to download an OPML file or scrape history to publish listen posts., but after paid upgrade my history says “Once upon a time… All your played episodes will appear here.

I tried this ages ago, but it never worked for me. Has it changed?

Tomorrow is ten years since US Airways 1549 made an emergency landing on the Hudson River. The miraculous confluence of circumstances that resulted in a plane full of passengers surviving such a situation is amazing. I could talk about that for a long while, but the first thought that came to me as I pondered it tonight was the first pictures being posted on Twitter.

The “Miracle on the Hudson” was the first event I recall noticing how the news was coming from Twitter. Twitter at that point felt new, open…encouraging of developers to build on top of it as a platform. It was when I realized that real time reliable information could be delivered to me as it was happening. It changed things for my perception.

It is now 10 years later, and people are looking for a way to recapture that, in the same way people look to recapture the old neighborhood when it changes.
