👓 Embracing the IndieWeb | Chad Lee
Chad Lee (chadly.net)I’ve used Disqus comments on this site for a long time. At the time I set it up, it was ubiquitous, easy to set up, and a no-brainer. However, after converting my site to Gatsby and getting the site to load Blazing Fast™, the Disqus embed code was the slowest thing on my site. It’s gotten fat over the years and like a bad husband, I’m finally dumping it.

Ha! “[Disqus has] gotten fat over the years and like a bad husband, I’m finally dumping it.”

📺 “Beverly Hills, 90210” Slumber Party | Amazon
Directed by Charles Braverman. With Jason Priestley, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering. Brenda throws a slumber party and invites Kelly, Donna and Andrea over for the night. But the evening turns sour when Kelly's bad girlfriend, Amanda Pacer, crashes the party and plays a game which brings out secrets that threaten the friendships between all of them. Meanwhile, Brandon and Steve go out together for a night of cruising and club hopping in which they end up getting duped by two ...
An awkward, likely unrealistic plot, but it makes for a relatively interesting teachable set of moments. I wonder what the post-modern Twitter version would look like?
Last soccer game of the season. Good job Red Cherries!

If you have questions about it after the camp, feel free to ask in the IndieWeb chat. There are lots of us who can help.
Khürt Williams (Twitter)“@ChrisAldrich figuring out how to attend an IndieWebCamp online session is about as frustrating as using the tools themselves. Can you help me out? Where can I find a video feed?”
They’ve all been listed at https://indieweb.org/2019/Online/Schedule with appropriate links. The chat channels are the best place for immediate help. Most of the sessions have been recorded, so you can catch them after the fact.
Hopefully you got things sorted before seeing this. There was a small bump in getting things started because the video server they had planned on using had some last minute problems that prevented recording, so they switched to Google Hangouts at the last minute. Other than that, most of it has gone fairly smoothly. Sorry to hear you had issues.
I’m curious if you could document the exact problems you ran into so that we can fix them in the future. Were there things you couldn’t find on the wiki? Was it bandwidth problems? Others?

This is a good reminder that I need to write more about how I implement my own…
👓 Neuroscience Readies for a Showdown Over Consciousness Ideas | Quanta Magazine
Philip Ball (Quanta Magazine)To make headway on the mystery of consciousness, some researchers are trying a rigorous new way to test competing theories.
Many of these ideas of consciousness seem ridiculous to me. I suppose that people need to be thinking about these ideas, iterating, and even doing some philosophy to ever get around to some better ideas and science, but it’s still very early days on the topic. I am glad that they’re actively attempting to come up with some actual science and testing of some of these theories to find a better answer.
If nothing else, this article does a reasonable job of giving an overview of some of the most recent schools of thought. And of course, it’s Philip Ball, so who could resist reading it…
