Watched "The Good Doctor" Risk and Reward from ABC
Directed by Freddie Highmore. With Freddie Highmore, Nicholas Gonzalez, Antonia Thomas, Tamlyn Tomita. The new chief of surgery questions whether to keep Shaun after his blunt honesty with a mother of a critically ill infant.
Great to see the Asian representation on this show growing by leaps and bounds, particularly since it was originally based on a Korean show.

👓 Launching #IndieWeb Textpattern | Chris McLeod

Read Launching #IndieWeb Textpattern by Chris McLeodChris McLeod (Mr.Kapowski)
I noted the other day that Textpattern might be a good fit for some people trying to build their own websites, but that there wasn’t much in the way of resources to get them plugged into the IndieWeb. Well, I went and started to do something about that. #IndieWeb TextPattern is a site where I will...
This is awesome news. I’ve started a stub page on the IndieWeb wiki that hopefully folks will be able to add to in the future.

Perhaps the quickest start for getting Webmention working is to use Webmention.io and have people add the appropriate headers. Then you can build or set up methods to either show that data directly or build a full endpoint.

Good luck!

Reminder: IndieWebCamp Austin (& streaming) is this Weekend 2/23-24

Here’s a quick reminder that IndieWebCamp Austin is this weekend. If you’re in the , , or spaces and can’t attend in person, there should be some interesting conversations and work that can be done to participate remotely (via chat, video, etc.) to help you improve and better use your personal website.

We welcome anyone who is interested, so feel free to pass the invitation along to your colleagues, students, and friends who are interested in using their websites as more than “just a business card” or “just a blog”. Even if you don’t yet have a domain or web hosting, show up and we’ll see what we can help you create over the weekend. 

Feel free to come with ideas, propose an online session (maybe?!!), or just watch, listen, and absorb ideas from others. Find out more about what you can do with a simple domain name and website.

Perhaps sometime in the future we ought to have an IndieWebCamp specifically for the education space?! Let me know if you’re interested in helping to organize one.

Of course if you can’t join us this weekend, there is an IndieWebCamp Online coming up on 

Don’t worry if you can’t RSVP this late, just show up… We all hope to see you there!

Call for Speakers | WordCamp Santa Clarita

Bookmarked Call for Speakers by Joe Simpson, Jr. (WordCamp Santa Clarita)

The New Frontier Awaits! Speak at WordCamp Santa Clarita!

Everyone has a unique story to share, and we really want to hear yours. We want a rustic blend of talks that will be engaging for all skill levels within the WordPress Community. We’re seeking passionate speakers with a flair for the dramatic onstage, technical brilliance, community leaders or business acumen, and everything in-between. We’re open to any and all your ideas for presentation topics, whether you’re a first-timer or well known throughout the WordCamp space.

Rushing to finish my talk proposal for the innaugural WordCamp Santa Clarita Valley. #wcscv
Managed to get a talk proposal together for WordCamp Santa Clarita on the topic of IndieWeb and WordPress (geared toward a general audience). I also submitted an idea for a lightning talk on the relatively new Micropub spec from the W3C and how it can be used in conjunction with WordPress to quickly and easily post a variety of different content types to the platform.

I can’t wait to attend this new camp just North of Los Angeles!

I’m continually astounded by Matthias Pfefferle’s (or I might alternately tag: @pfefferle) excellent work with the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress! It’s simply brilliant that my IndieWeb powered WordPress website can act much like a standalone version of Mastodon and reasonably federate with other platforms that use the ActivityPub protocol.

You can follow me at @chrisaldrich and apparently read my 8,000+ posts via Mastodon and other platforms.

While the plugin doesn’t support everything (yet) and doesn’t compete with Mastodon, Friendi.ca, or GNU.social, it extends WordPress with some reasonably solid fediverse features. I can’t wait to see how it continues to grow and add additional functionality.

Live coding screencasts are way more awesome when the text can be copied. asciinema makes this possible.
The ability to copy and paste from video like this is tremendously awesome! Because it’s text-based, it also looks like I can annotate it with Hypothes.is too. Example: https://hyp.is/-Ay6wD7nEemnq3uyMRrhrA/asciinema.org/a/3uHCusbqQd6KAYNZ15NSv21bQ

This could be an awesome teaching tool, particularly for programming.
