Watched Meat Expert Guesses Cheap vs Expensive Deli Meats | Price Points from Epicurious | YouTube
In this episode of 'Price Points', Epicurious challenged meat expert Elias Cairo of Olympia Provisions to guess which one of two deli meats was more expensive. Cairo breaks down cuts of salami, ham, bologna, mortadella, hot dogs, sausages, and prosciutto. For each round of deli meats, Cairo visually scans, smells, and taste tests each meat before guessing which deli meat costs more. Once the prices were revealed, Cairo explains why a specific deli meat costs more and dives into specifics on what to look for in a deli meat.
I just love food pieces like this that are less aspirational than most Food Network content, but are more informative.
Watched "Shia LaBeouf" by Rob CantorRob Cantor from YouTube

"Shia LaBeouf" is a song by Rob Cantor. It tells the true story of an actual cannibal.

This is just one of those things you need to rewatch every now and again for a good laugh. Such a solid short piece.

My favorite film credit: 3D Papercraft Shia Heads designed by Eric Testroete

It's early days but the way I write has already started to change. I'm not just going from beginning to end, writing as though I was typing a finished draft; things are being noted as they come to me, a mixed up selection of thoughts and ideas requiring me to flick back and forth when I come to put ...

Why not, right?
I shipped a great bug yesterday. A big thanks to Chris Aldrich for catching that and sending me a DM today to let me know.
With all my cleverness around separating comment types for display below posts, I forgot to check for cases where there was some kind of Webmention, but no regul...
Remember that one of the hidden superpowers of the IndieWeb and particularly the wiki is that it is a great repository of documentation of prior artwork and web patterns for how others have designed and fixed various problems for themselves. Something like the wiki comments page may be helpful if you haven’t come across it.

I do like your idea of potentially not showing certain mention types in comment sections. I could see that as a feature that people would appreciate.

Automagically sending push notifications to my mobile phone when I receive a Webmention.
I hadn’t thought about it before, but this seems like a nice real-time feature. Since I have an RSS feed for comments on my website, I’ve just thrown that into IFTTT with workflow that takes new feed items and then sends me a Pushbullet notification.
Liked Working through displaying Webmentions by Jeremy Felt (jeremyfelt.com)
Now that this site supports Webmentions, I’ve been having some fun digging into how I’d like them to be presented. The theme I’m using is very bare-bones. I created it using Underscores a couple years ago when I decided I had lost touch with the code I was using and for some reason wanted to g...
This should be an interesting experiment to watch.
