August

a spatial chat among internet friends

Iā€™m following this twitter train wreck closer than I ought

Whatā€™s new homie?

Not much really - been sending out resumes like crazy lately. Current job is just mind numbing and donā€™t know how much longer I can do it without boring myself to death at this pointā€¦ šŸ˜…

I hear about stuff happening at twitter but donā€™t pay much attention. Tried to use twitter a bit more with my newsletter, but just didnā€™t feel like I needed it in my life.

How might we use boxes to enhance chat?

When I saw this in e-mail (before opening to see the August box) my first thoughts were time based and then potentially topic based.

In the way that one can kind of go on tangents, being able to have a conversation going across multiple topics at the same time spatially feels very ā€œKinopioā€ to me.

Threw a huge box around the bottom archive to see what that would be likeā€¦ Also made me think about how you presented in Kinopio - would be cool if there were a way to navigate across boxes similar to tags, essentially boxes could become your slides and some way to hop to the next oneā€¦

Have a lot of time to kill right now so I figured Iā€™d try to clean this space up a bit so we have some room again. Split the old stuff into #2021 section below. (Donā€™t know if it was all 2021 šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø). Itā€™s really cool to use the minimap on this space and I was surprised how easily everything

ā¤ļø, wow yeah the minimap is so cool with all these cards

Ah bummer, I didnā€™t see the notification for this because it was buried under the workspace notifications.
