"MUJI’s goal is to give customers a rational satisfaction, expressed not with, “This is what I really want” but with “This will do.” “This is what I really want” expresses both faint egoism and discord, while “This will do” expresses conciliatory reasoning. In fact, it may even incorporate resignation and a little dissatisfaction. MUJI’s goal is to sweep away that slight dissatisfaction, and raise the level of the response, “This will do” to one filled with clarity and confidence."

Pro tip:

We still have a little time left with readcv

Go update your portfolios BEFORE you export your site!!

FFS, I bought what I thought were tortillas but in fact “wraps” that look/feel like paper. Foot long sandwiches are so 2024. In 2025 we’re making A4 sandwiches.

This captures part of what I was talking about yesterday better than I could. Although this focuses on egoism on the consumers side, I also think part of the problem stems from _egotism_ from creators.

Votes are in, meeting time is selected. We'll be meeting on January 15th at 11am PST. Info here! https://taurean.bryant.land/Posts+January+meetup

*through loud sobbing* I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/taureanbryant/

It's been a while since the last Posts.cv virtual meetup. Let's change that? Vote for a good meetup time 👇🏼 https://savvycal.com/p/taurean/290aa368

Thanks everyone was able to make it, we had a great time. If you attended and happened to take notes, feel free to DM me because my notes are… sparse lol. Also, I'll share a lil survey thing soon (here and on the notes page) to help me plan the next one.

Huge bummer but these things happen. Would it be useful to yall if I made a Bluesky feed comprised of posts people?

How do you personally differentiate (if at all) between a tech startup and a small software business? Do others understand what you mean when you refer to either (do they understand the distinction when you intend it)?

Updated the root of my obsidian publish site to give a bit more context / set expectations. taurean.bryant.land

everyone’s asking for posts.cv alternatives but what about read.cv alternatives??

i dont wanna go back to having linkedin on my personal site…

something that I overlooked, the feed on read.cv of everyones projects is *such* a cool place to see new inspiring work. Losing that sucks in a way that is independent from profiles/posts too.

ok so the new plan for my personal sites in 2025:
- taurean.work for the website yall have seen me share on here
- voyager.studio for projects (solo + collab)
- taurean.bryant.land for a published version of my obsidian vault.

fyi read.cv and posts.cv are safely archived on mobbin

Another quick reminder as people trickle in, there's a dedicated feed on Bluesky for posts users. We're at over 100 people now. Find out how to join (and more) here: https://taurean.bryant.land/posters-guide-to-bsky

If you're new to Bluesky or hesitant to join, here's a getting started guide, just for you Posts people.

Just spent several hours on a puzzle with family, only to find out it has an egregious amount of missing/faulty pieces. 2025 off to a great start.

The last time I was this emotional, Club Penguin was shutting down.

A little over a year ago, I realized that Obsidian wasn’t suitable for my daily notes but could still be an excellent archive for important information. I’m now developing a template for a long-term storage personal wiki. I’ll release it once it’s fully completed.

If there's enough responses here, I'll make a dedicated bluesky feed of people who used to post here, add your bsky username: https://forms.gle/LpGfQ8bLW7ww9oZ56

(though annoyingly, the feed is down right now) we're now at 40 people on the bsky feed. It wont be the same as here but I'm glad I'll be able to continue to see updates from so many of yall.

Obsidian vault template is now probably 25% done.

we're starting now, come join us for the next hour (joining late or only for a bit is cool too!) https://whereby.com/tw-meetup

Call me “radical” but I think being loudly bigoted should perhaps hurt your career prospects lol

The export functionality that got added to leave read.cv is so nice that it makes me want to stay here more. Make it make sense

NYC MEET IS HAPPENING. 

FEBRUARY 22ND @ 3PM. 

DEETS + RSVP: https://partiful.com/e/IOSRbvTZcnGdLgc4GW6M

SEE Y'ALL THERE 🫡

@nickisnoble just remembered tarot.sh and still months later, this is one of my favorite projects that I've come across.

haven't had the time to wrap up the .work site (though it's close-ish) so in the meantime, I was able to get that content up via obsidian publish pretty quickly: taurean.bryant.land

Would anyone be interested in using this obsidian vault template for a few weeks when it’s done and letting me know if they have issues with it?

Settling a debate: What day has your family traditionally hosted a gathering/party for Christmas? Eve or Day?

Tomorrow, 11am PST!http://taurean.bryant.land/meetup

Caught up on everyone who's added themselves to the list so far now, keep it coming/share it around: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf3P2rex3qe0Dq7iVObjIS93ewUjLnB6zYc-EimZhstKJj5qA/viewform?usp=dialog

I've got a lot of thoughts on what comes next after posts. If you're considering building a successor or you're interested in joining one, hopefully this is valuable to you: https://taurean.bryant.land/A+call+for+a+posts+successor

We're at 23 people added to the posts bsky feed now, keep 'em coming: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf3P2rex3qe0Dq7iVObjIS93ewUjLnB6zYc-EimZhstKJj5qA/viewform?usp=dialog

Has anyone successfully streamed their desktop audio over a google hangout or something similar on the Mac? Apple makes that surprisingly difficult, I suspect for copyright reasons…?

Nice to see that there was actually *some* consequences here. I've seen talk around services like AccessiBe causing more harm than good for a long time now.

This vault template includes 39 note templates, 6 more generic templates, 34 templates for summarizing/collecting note types, and 50+ examples for how to use everything. I'm thinking about putting it up on gumroad when I'm done as a pay-what-you-want (including free) thing.

Found an iOS app that simulates IR photography. I wanted an IR camera before, now I need one.

The meetup info has been updated with an agenda. January 15th! https://taurean.bryant.land/Posts+January+meetup

“Delight” as a product design term needs to die immediately. It’s an impossible goal most of the time either because the designer is incapable of providing it, the company doesn’t actually want it, or the product doesn’t call for it. The cognitive dissonance drives me crazy.

It feels like the core of anxiety is a siren-song toward safety. It feels like you’re being reasonable, and without it, you’re opening yourself up to danger. And in some ways, that can be true. But the siren-song part comes in when the anxiety itself becomes the danger.

Yall ever let a recipe get away from you so bad that you don’t know what you’re making anymore?

Currently fighting scope creep against myself. I want to add an analog clock and that weather UI from Zelda BOTW to my /now page.

I plan on hosting another virtual meetup, I’ll share more details hopefully next week.

I just registered posts.club, where I will be listing ongoing initiatives to keep the community here going beyond posts.cv's shutdown on February 28th.

If there's anything you'd like to see added there, please let me know!
