           | 
           | Think of it as a page in an issue of a magazine. Though The
           | main content the page references here (search the page for a
           | phrase and click on the word "recording"):

           | > In any case, this month's Videotheque movie is the
           | recording of a 2017 Facebook Live session, where Guy Kawasaki
           | explained his experience as a software evangelist at Apple.
           | 
           | The magazine issue is here:
           | https://deprogrammaticaipsum.com/issue-58-community/ This is
           | the third bullet point.

         | The blog post is all over the place with an unclear premise in
         | the first paragraph (See passive voice.)
         | 
         | Lampoons Guy.

         | reassuring, if you ask me._

             | This isn't about formatting (They're using WordPress, BTW.)
             | 
             | They're breaking conventions about headlines, and the
             | message isn't getting across.

               | The presentation is part of the format in how I intended
               | it, but the whole thing. But maybe I should have used
               | another term.

       | What about him? It's that he's a model tech evangelist. Who else?
       | When I was paying attention, I thought Addy Osmani was good,
       | https://addyosmani.com/blog/. Eric J. Ma,
       | https://ericmjl.github.io/, is terrific, though I don't know that
       | he would describe him self that way. Hadley Wickham,
       | https://hadley.nz/, for me would be the gold standard.

         | To me it's that he's passionate about the tech industry and how
         | it changes peoples' lives. Same with Russell Beattie. As a
         | developer often my eyes glaze over, unpredictably and
         | involuntarily, when I hear about some next big thing, sometimes
         | to become obsessed with it later on. This happened with LLMs.
         | Perhaps I'm not that interested in tech in general, just a few
         | things in particular.
