Two minutes is probably a bit much for an intro. But I do think it is useful to introduce the person, if there is a guest, and at least give a hint of what you will be talking about. At least, that’s what I do.
Rachel Cooke on criticism: ‘What is the point of a critic if not to tell the truth?’
Very interesting longish article on the role of the critic today. Artists are increasingly unleashing their fans on critics, and ignorant “critics” are doing a poor job of serving their audience. I don’t know, though, how new this phenomenon is. Sure, in the olden days it was hard to get 3 million people issuing death threats, but nor was the relationship between critics and creators always a love-in of mutual respect.Nicely anachronistic writing tool, too.

In the latest episode, the incomparable Darra Goldstein tells me about her search for “the true heart of Russian food” and also about some of the surprising rediscoveries and innovations in the foodways of modern Russia.Listen at eatthispodcast.com/russian-f…

Working from home can be magical - BrettTerpstra.com
There have been endless articles on how to work from home. And so many of them are wrong in one way or another, yet each proclaims itself to be true for you and your productivity. The fact is that working from home means a lot of different things, and every individual has to find their own rhythm. And for some of us, it’s downright magical compared to working in an office.
At last, some sense.
I’ve learned to reframe “procrastination” as “marination.”
I'm still learning. Have been for 45 years.

I think it is a splendid idea to revisit indiewebify.me and reorient the expectations around that page. It does suggest that one fiddle with HTML, and that might well be off-putting if one is new to IndieWeb.

Last night we watched The Rose Tattoo on iTunes. Strange film, shot on Key West, which was why we watched it, with Anna Magnina and Burt Lancaster. She plays a woman widowed by her cheating husband, who eventually falls for Burt. Dated, histrionic, fun. Tennessee Williams wrote. Now, a competition: who was the worst young Italian? Burt, in this, or Warren Beatty in The Roman Spring of Mrs Stone, another Williams classic?

As a gardener myself, albeit without an actual garden, only a terrace full of pots, I could really relate to what Dezz.ie had to say.
But the really cool thing is that pink banner at the top of her site, and how it occupies the full window at any height until you scroll past it. That’s intentional.
