b'Maciej Ceglowski is the founder of Pinboard. He writes at Idle Words.\\n\\n\\u201cMy natural contrarianism makes me want to see if I can do something long-term in an industry where everything either changes until it\'s unrecognizable or gets sold or collapses. I like the idea of things on the web being persistent. And more basically, I reject this idea that everything has to be on a really short time scale just because it involves technology. We\\u2019ve had these computers around for a while now. It\\u2019s time we start treating them like everything else in our lives, where it kind of lives on the same time scale that we do and doesn\\u2019t completely fall off the end of the world every three or four years.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, Audible, and Casper, and MIT Press for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n\\nShow Notes:\\n@baconmeteor\\nidlewords.com\\nCeglowski on Longform\\n[2:00] Pinboard\\n[2:00] The Bedbug Registry\\n[17:00] "The Internet With a Human Face" (YouTube)\\n[20:00] "Thoreau 2.0" (Idle Words \\u2022 Sep 2013)\\n[27:00] The Longform Guide to Sleep (Presented by Casper)\\n[32:00] "The Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel" (Idle Words \\u2022 Apr 2007)\\n[40:00] Mimi Smartypants\\n[41:00] "Send Idle Words to Antarctica" (Kickstarter \\u2022 Jul 2015)\\n[46:00] "On Smarm" (Tom Scocca \\u2022 Gawker \\u2022 Dec 2013)\\n[47:00] "The Advertising Bubble" (Idle Words \\u2022 Nov 2015)\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
