Kindle Footnotes
The only thing about the Kindle’s reading experience that kills me is the footnotes. They function like hyperlinks to the back of the book, which means to visit them you have to use the joystick to navigate word by word to see them, and then use the back button to get back to where you started.
All of footnotes are next to each other which means sometimes you see spoilers in future ones when you don’t want to.
What I think I want is footnotes displayed inline at the bottom of the page, like on a normal book.
Super WordPress?

Using this site more, retiring Flickr
I’ve historically used this site mostly for posting random videos and thoughts I didn’t think really fit into ma.tt.
Posting frequency should go up here now, though, as I’m moving all my moblogging I’ve previously done on Flickr to here. Why?
- We now have a really good post by email feature. (And I just added the secret address to my address book.)
- I get more visitors here than my Flickr page.
- I have way more control over the site, archiving, comments, design, everything here.
- My Flickr Pro account is about to expire, I don’t really see any value in renewing it, and I’m also pissed off they only show the latest 200 photos for free members, which means if I don’t pay a $25 ransom more than 800 photos going back to the year 2003 (6 years!) are going to be hidden from the world. That sucks. I can’t place my trust in any web service that does that, even though I know and love many of the people behind it. Remove my stats, extra features, sure, but don’t mess with my content.
- I think it’s lame Flickr doesn’t strip my standard email signature from posts sent via email there.
So there you have it.
I have a nostalgic attachment to my Flickr post-by-email address, I actually know it by heart and many of the implementation decisions for WordPress.com’s version of the same were inspired by Flickr’s approach in things, which is generally extremely tasteful.

This is horrible and wonderful at the same time, reminds me of R. Kelly:
