Finding out which things to throw out

I’m moving to another country. While cleaning out I was surprised to find out how many things I own that I don’t need.

It reminded me of Bruce Sterling’s keynote on Reboot last year, so I listened to it again. As I listened to it in my new context I was impressed by how much sense it makes. So I decided to make it into a flow chart, one made of conveyor belts and cardboard boxes.

Of course Sterling isn’t the only one who’s had things to say about not having things. It feels like the whole world is moving its stuff out of the physical world and into the cloud.

A self-building reading list

When you find something you want to read, watch or listen to later, what do you do? Some of it goes into Pocket or Instapaper, some of it on a Youtube watch list, and some of it becomes a bookmark on Twitter. What if you could build a master reading list based on what you bookmark across all the sites you use? With Ian [https://twitter.com/ianjorgensen]

A food search engine running on Evernote

Quick. Where can you get ravioli for takeaway? You'd probably have to spend a few minutes enumerating the Italian restaurants in your neighborhood. But what if there was a search engine for this? We scanned as many menus as we could find, then saved them in Evernote, and used their API to let anyone search those notes and see the menus. With Kenneth [https://twitter.com/auchenberg]
