It's even worse than it appears.
I've started a Twitter list of devs currently working on outliners.#

It has been pointed out that poor people have it harder than rich and famous people. Some things are so obvious they don't need to be said. I've been exploring this topic for all the years I've been blogging (27+), the difference between (say) Steve Jobs as a person and Steve Jobs as the superstar. I'm figuring things out at a whole new level, in the difference between who the Beatles were as people and how the Beatles were part of my personal foundation. I watched the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. When I was in the hospital recovering from a ruptured appendix, She Loves You was #1 and played all the time on the hospital PA. And on and on. To have the clouds lifted on all this history in the Get Back documentary calls for some recalculation. #
Tweeted: I don’t want to wait for interop in Tools for Thought. It’s already well understood how to connect outliners. I don’t care if people want to use JSON, Markdown or XML or whatever but let’s not wait too long otherwise we’re going to end up with a bunch of silos.#
My mind, when it comes to Beatles songs, is like one of those old computer monitors that's been sitting in a clerical office for 20 years, and the default prompt is burned into the screen so you can read it clearly even if the monitor is turned off. I never listen to the actual words of Beatles songs. When I first heard them, I'm sure I had no idea what they were talking about, and I played the songs so many times, as a child, and all through my life. It's like the Beatles are the ROM BIOS of my music brain OS. Now that I've been reading about them as songs with meaning and connected to the musician's lives when they were writing them, the words all of a sudden are there. Fantastic. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
