Wednesday Web Reads
I haven't done this in a while. But I run across some great web reads every week, so from now on, check back here for a reading list on Wednesdays.
"The Long War Between Highbrow and Lowbrow" Noah Berlansky writes about the history of popular culture and highbrow art, and the battles between them - for instance, the nineteenth-century battle over whether Shakespeare would be performed in loosey-goosey adaptations as melodrama for the people, or tight-lipped purist theatre.
"The Quiet German" Absolutely the most interesting thing I've read in a while, this profile of German Chancellor Angela Merkel is not just a politician profile, but a look at contrasting ways of doing politics among world leaders, including Putin and Obama. It's a little long, but worth settling into. (Bonus, Merkel is quoted phonetically mimicking Al Gore.)
"After Work, Bypass the Wine and Reach For a Highball" Though I'm more of a pints-after-work girl myself, Rosie Schaap makes a brief but compelling case for going for something a bit more complex. And as always, Schaap also underlines the great comfort of having a buffer place between work and home to break up the day.
"Bonfire of the Inanities" Utterly fascinating deep-dive longread about how "women's journalism" (and the women who wrote it) shaped the discipline we now think of as narrative journalism or "new journalism." Also a great look at the slowly emerging sense that women might be interested in the same things men are - and vice versa.
"The Chapter: A History" Though we take them for granted, chapters aren't somehow endemic to literature. They're an invention. So where did they come from, and what do they mean or do? And where's the concept of the chapter rooted? (Hint: somewhere sacred.)
"A Subtle Grace" My friend Callie writes about mothering and teaching, and also the guilt of not writing in the everyday. She also makes a fine tomato-based dish about halfway through.

Från webben till Evernote via Pocket #fimpadatorn
Jag har använt Evernote som textarkiv under många år. När arbetsflödena med text och bild flyttade ut i molnet blev Evernote ett ännu mer effektivt verktyg eftersom allt är extremt åtkomligt överallt. Men ett arbetsflöde som definitivt är sämre i de mobila webbläsarna är skapa ett "web clips", dvs att kopiera hela artiklar eller intressanta delar på en webbsida till tex Evernote. Web Clips är mycket knöligare på iPaden än på Macen.
Jag har hittat en perfekt lösning på detta, åtminstone när det gäller hela artiklar. Jag klipper sällan delar av en artikel, utan tar hela och markerar eventuellt extra intressanta delar. Här är arbetsflödet:
Maila länken till Pocket direkt från Safari i iPad genom att klicka på pilen till vänster om adressfältet. Välj Eposta sidans URL. Mailfönstret dyker upp. Om du har lagt in Pockets mailadress i adressboken dyker den upp när du börjar skriva adressen. Det går snabbt och smidigt som tusan.
När Pocket tar emot mailet med urlen så renderar den sidan med artikeln och rensar bort sidbar, footers och allt på webbsidan som inte är sidans huvudartikel (även reklamen försvinner förstås).
Pocket i iPaden är perfekt för att läsa artikeln och det finns en inbyggd funktion att arkivera texten i Evernote.
Jag brukar dessutom tagga artiklarna i Pocket så att den fungerar som en molnbaserad bokmärkeshanterare.
