In an attempt to create healthier news habits for myself, I built an RSS reader around reading yesterday's news. No unread counts, no constant refreshing—just a finite, organized feed to read once a day.

Today marks the launch of v2.0, a ground-up rebuild. I hope it brings others some welcome focus too.

Hindsight: a news and RSS reader

An RSS reader that helps you keep up with the news without the stress of endless feeds and unread counts.

New post—February learning log: launched an ambient drone generator and a 2000's-era blog archive. Read two great sci-fi-ish books. And as always, new visual inspiration from my swipe file.

Launched a project I've been crafting since January. Massive Bloom is a browser-based tool for creating evolving, atmospheric drone sounds and textures. Every composition generates a unique URL you can share or save. Turn it on and listen to it evolve: https://massivebloomsound.com/?p=covers-little-destiny-gourmet-also-make-boiling-bunker-submit-girl-mango-above-barrel-awesome-abides

over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.)

finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk.

i hope you enjoy this read. https://cabel.com/wes-cook-and-the-mcdonalds-mural/
