This is so, so wonderful—hundreds and hundreds of photographs from all of the Apollo missions. Gorgeous!

I’m getting increasingly intrigued by the IPFS protocol and its potential for long-term digital preservation.

How can we fix internet comments?

Here’s an interesting approach to making comments more meaningful:

Instead of blindly publishing whatever people submit, we first ask them to rate the quality and civility on 3 randomly-selected comments, as well as their own. It’s a bit more work for the commenter, but the end result is a community built on trust and respect, not harassment and abuse.

It’s a beautiful day to take the train from Portland to Seattle, so that’s what I’m doing.

Farewell, Portland! You have very nice Andys.
