Anil Dash<p>What I learned from Prince and Muhammad Ali was that it’s possible to love yourself so much that everybody else does, too.</p>

Anil Dash<p>In 2014, I got the chance to interview Steve Case, and we touched on AOL&#39;s origins as Quantum Link (a dial-up service for Commodore computers), the wild cultural legacy of the CD-ROM marketing blitz, and of course the era-defining impact of the Time Warner merger. <a href="https://www.anildash.com/2014/02/26/talking_to_steve_case/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">anildash.com/2014/02/26/talkin</span><span class="invisible">g_to_steve_case/</span></a></p>
Anil Dash<p>In honor of today&#39;s news that AOL will soon be ending dial-up service, here&#39;s the 1996 collaboration between Prince and Kate Bush, which begins &amp; ends with a tribute to the AOL sign-on experience, based on Prince&#39;s mid-90s habit of dropping in on fans in our weekly AOL chats: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxJ2SCxMy1g" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=wxJ2SCxMy1</span><span class="invisible">g</span></a></p>
Anil Dash<p>There could not be a more opportune time to make a competitor to GitHub, especially one grounded in community and accountability. Git was not meant to be centralized; “pull requests” are not actually an open standard and throwing code over the wall at others is not actually social coding.</p>

Anil Dash<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://techhub.social/@kylepauljohnson" class="u-url mention">@<span>kylepauljohnson</span></a></span> hey, I&#39;ve been reading up on your older posts about using Sonos speakers as Mac audio outputs, and they&#39;ve been super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to write everything up so thoroughly. I&#39;m thinking of getting an old Ray and an optical-out adapter and giving it a go. Anything new to know since your write-ups? (I know Sonos has had its ups &amp; downs software-wise since then.)</p>
Anil Dash<p>Is it still correct that you can easily use HomePods as speakers with an Apple TV and they work great with no latency, but you can&#39;t do that with a Mac?</p>

Anil Dash<p>A quick weekend build of a simple built-in bookshelf, it mirrors a similar shelf on the opposite side wall. The goal was to go strong and simple, and the whole thing only took about 6 hours, which felt good for a non-fancy project!</p>
