Text of the page (random words):
yself off every single one of their records and lists and then i decided i did not want to donate any more money again after that until such a point that the democrats made it easy to choose how much spam you should get and easy to unsubscribe but they never did so i didn t donate to any political campaign in 2016 and then trump got in and it was clearly all my fault lesson learned anyway this year i decided i wanted to donate again but i wanted to do it a bit more intelligently and after a bit of research this is what i recommend it s really quite easy and non threatening 1 get a google voice account this is essentially a real telephone number that you can receive texts on and can reroute to your actual phone line if you want use this number in everything you do with a political campaign then go in and change the settings to automatically go to voicemail and to not be put through to your main phone number you can go and check your messages and texts at any time you want it s a real number and it works you re not breaking as far as i know any laws or rules you re just keeping it off your damn main phone 2 use signs in your e mail address this is a sneaky little trick that allows you to tag an e mail address you give out if your e mail address is for example chief plasticbag org you can actually give out the e mail address chief democrats plasticbag org and it will 100 work the bit after the plus is ignored by the routing systems but is preserved when it enters your e mail client that means if you do nothing an e mail sent to chief democrats plasticbag org will end up in the mailbox of chief plasticbag org you can make as many of these e mail addresses as you like and they ll all work however the full address with the democrats on it is still visible to your e mail client that means you can then set up a simple rule to mark all messages from that account as read and file them away in some hidden folder that you never look in i think you basically still have to provide your home address and that means they can send mail shots and the like but to be honest i ve never found that interruptive or a particular problem compared to continual mail spam text messages and phone calls anyway if you set that stuff up and it literally takes half an hour to do it you can then continue to donate with those details to whoever you like and you do it completely safely without having to worry about them continuing to spam the living hell out of you and sure that means you also won t see the daily begging e mails or texts from your preferred candidate and that probably means you won t end up donating as much from guilt or shame or fear and that means that your candidate will probably not get quite as much money as if you donated as normal but if you re anything like me that wasn t the option any more the option was donate and live in rage and frustration at how often you re harassed or give up donating forever this feels like a reasonable compromise to me and it has worked extremely well this election cycle with any luck at some point political parties will learn that relentless spam and calls and guilting people may work in the short term but that its long term consequences are to alienate and piss of their own supporters it seems short sighted to me it seems like an obviously bad approach long term but they haven t learned it yet so i think it s perfectly reasonable to do what you have to do to get through the night categories life photography lockdown photography part one post author by tom coates post date may 19 2020 5 comments on lockdown photography part one when this whole horrible covid19 experience started back when we thought maybe we d be in lockdown for a few weeks not a few months to a year i thought to myself that at least it might be something worthy of documenting with my camera i considered the world so changed and strange in this moment in time that no one would really understand it in the future unless people tried to capture the experience but the truth is i ve really struggled the world generally doesn t look transformed it doesn t even look abandoned in many ways it s more eerie than that it just looks like a perpetual early morning before people are out on the streets or what sunday afternoons used to feel like in england in the 1980s for the most part the visual reality of this situation conveys almost nothing of the experience of living through it in fact at times while it feels desolate and strange and disconcerting terrifying even it looks almost idyllic a better photographer than i might be able to capture the feeling but in the meantime here s some of the surface reality of san francisco in april and may 2020 i ll probably post some more in another couple of months one day when basically overwhelmed by the state of things i went for an epic walk from my home all the way to the golden gate bridge and part of the way back the walk was about four hours long and very strange with all the streets abandoned and quiet the golden gate bridge itself was the strangest it wasn t deserted by any means but compared to normal it was fascinatingly empty seeing friends has become a highly sporadic activity and everyone is being incredibly cautious in the first time i d seen him for at least two months matt suggested that we go up to bernal park one afternoon to play with his new drone he brought alcohol wipes and i brought purell so we could handle the controls without risk of disease spread we both wore masks it did not feel normal i don t really have pictures of all the shops on valencia boarded up that was probably the weirdest thing one by one all the shops disappearing being put into some kind of suspended animation knowing as they do it that some of them may never reopen again it s a hard thing to capture in a visually interesting way as well but as time has spread posters have started to appear that are better statements of how we re feeling dolores park is normally packed with people even during the week and now it s starting to get busier again particularly on the weekends when the weather is good people are taking risks in being out and hoping that the openness will minimize the chance of contagion for a few weeks though it was pretty much completely empty cliff s variety in castro is sort of like a hardware store in drag it sells all kinds of sensible practical things plus feather boas and shiny chains and bear pride flags because it s a hardware store it counted as an essential business but they still wanted to be really careful when opening up there s nothing less like the feel of the castro than this sad quiet structured and orderly line i found it deeply unsettling ben and i decided we needed to get some exercise one afternoon so slogged up to kite hill in the castro at this stage very few people had serious face masks and we were making do with scarves and pieces of fabric the hill was busy but also really weird everyone subdued and concerned and insular this is good news and it s pretty widespread around san francisco some of them are really great but it s hard to maintain this level of positivity and optimism and it s hard to read it and take it at face value there s a celebration of anything that we can do to make things feel more normal but the desperation with which people reach for them actually makes things feel less normal more bizarre part of a long walk to get some of the anxiety out of our systems i found this picture to sort of capture part of my feeling part of my sense that my beautiful city is trapped in some kind of vice i feel the same about my own heart and lungs another trip up to bernal to look at the view and exercise the demons looking out over the city it s both hard to get a sense of how weird everything is but also you get this sense of hundreds of thousands of people hiding in all these little boxes insular caged worried people this took a while to interpret but the short version is fuck this noise this particular wall was covered in anti trump posters but this actually felt both clever and oddly mood encapsulating fuck this noise indeed categories random hello rss readers can you hear me post author by tom coates post date may 11 2020 78 comments on hello rss readers can you hear me i d like to ask you guys a quick favor if you use an rss reader to consume your online content and somehow you still find yourself subscribed to plasticbag org after many years of abandonment and dereliction i d really appreciate it if you can let me know in the comments below if you see this post if you could tell me what client or online service you re using to consume the feed too that would be really great the short background to this is that as part of my massive cleaning and reinstallation of everything i deleted a hell of a lot of stuff from around the place and i m checking the error logs to see what things people are missing at the moment the largest number of 404 errors are coming from people looking for an index rdf index xml or atom xml file which i m assuming are all places i used to keep my feeds wordpress has moved them to feed and so i ve made a few htaccess updates to redirect everything to the right places but of course it s easy to make the redirects and less easy to check that everything is coming through to everyone correctly obviously if you happen to stumble upon this post in another way and then realize that your rss feed is not up to date i d also love to hear about it but i suspect that s a bit less likely to happen categories life personal publishing resurfacing post author by tom coates post date may 6 2020 10 comments on resurfacing it feels odd writing your first blog post in seven years it used to be such a large part of my life and this blog used to be such a core part of my work and engagement with my community that you d think you d never forget how to do it i wrote here almost every day for well over a decade it saw me through the first half of my working life from time out to brickhouse london to america it saw me through many of my most significant life events and yet i ve not done it for seven years it feels odd and forgotten how to do it i think i sort of have i ve obviously been writing don t get me wrong i ve written many many tweets in the last seven years around 150 000 of them in fact on pretty much every subject under the sun although mostly in recent years politics and doctorwho i ve built up over 40 000 followers over that time a number that i think i can get back down under a thousand if i continue to focus ardently on politics and doctorwho this will have a certain circular irony to it since if i m honest the ease of writing on twitter is probably one of the reasons that i finally stopped blogging in the first place i ve set up a few other twitter accounts too there s lovedsongs which publishes a list of every song i ve given five stars to or loved on itunes and houseofcoates which fairly aimlessly plugs away reporting the things that happen at my home just two of the many absurd things you can do with twitter if you get bored i ve also written a number of conference talks looking back at my dump of the old lanyrd website probably around thirty or at least maybe ten each of which was delivered a few times writing those conference talks reminded me a lot of how it felt to write a decent blog post after ten years on the job by that time i was no longer just knocking something out for fun to get a thought out of my head i wanted them to be good really good and so i wrote them to death and focused in on them and really thought them through some of the conference talks i managed to write in less than one focused week of work some took almost a month it had been getting that way with my blog posts by the end and that in a third ancillary and supportive nutshell is yet another reason that i finally stopped blogging it might surprise some of you that i used to go outside but if you don t believe me the conference talk i gave most recently was at the mind the product event in 2018 it was a keynote on the main stage at the san francisco symphony hall get me main stage at glastonbury crowds go wild i three dimensionally rendered most of the slides using a focused brick of computronium i wrote that out longhand because i 3d rendered looked very strange indeed it took a really long time and over ran by ten full minutes everyone was very very nice about it i m quite proud of the whole thing i also wrote a few things in other places over that time i wrote a few things on medium i m not sure why i chose to move to medium except i guess i thought it was a bit less embarrassing than writing a blog i also thought i could just write something every so often and it might somehow find itself an audience without me having to write all the time to maintain people s attention plus of course it makes what you write look gorgeous however after roughly a decade of not writing regularly i can testify that removing the pressure of regular content production did not make me produce fewer higher quality thoughts but just removed the impetus to write altogether and that for the fourth time is another reason why i stopped blogging i wrote a few things for more public spaces too the most prominent of those was an opinion piece for nbc news that i guess i never actually billed them for their payment system was appalling so in principle i guess i still own it i might copy it over to this site in fact since they probably don t hold the copyright if you re interested at all it s here trump blocked me on twitter but for democracy s sake we can t ban him i should say a couple of things about that piece of writing before i move on firstly i didn t write the headline mostly when you write things the sub editor writes the headline and it is normally the distilled down and clickbaitiest possible version of what you actually might have meant the second thing i d like to say is that you know i still stand by it 85 but you know when he started encouraging people to break the lockdown and go outside and give and spread disease to millions of americans well anyway but of course the main thing i ve been doing over the last decade is building things first at yahoo we built and launched fire eagle within brickhouse and did a whole bunch of product innovation things plus a couple of substantial but much less glamorous internal projects to do with location sharing and storage then after that projects like the eatery with aza raskin up coffee for jawbone projects for nokia and burner doing consulting with matt biddulph at product club then launching a better smart object ux with thington also built with matt sold to eero a couple of years ago followed by spending the last year and a half working on a completely decentralized alternative to facebook and twitter now known as planetary i often find that when i m working on something complicated my desire to write sort of dries up i used to find these pattern...
