If you’re careful with how you deal with the YouTube playback speed settings, you can almost attend all of the three glorious tracks of sessions at WordCamp Santa Clarita Valley before the day is over.

In Greek mythology, Lethe /ˈliːθiː/ (Greek: Λήθη, Lḗthē; Ancient Greek: [lɛ́:tʰɛː], Modern Greek: [ˈliθi]) was one of the five rivers of the underworld of Hades. Also known as the Ameles potamos (river of unmindfulness), the Lethe flowed around the cave of Hypnos and through the Underworld where all those who drank from it experienced complete forgetfulness. Lethe was also the name of the Greek spirit of forgetfulness and oblivion, with whom the river was often identified.
In Classical Greek, the word lethe (λήθη) literally means "oblivion", "forgetfulness", or "concealment".[1] It is related to the Greek word for "truth", aletheia (ἀλήθεια), which through the privative alpha literally means "un-forgetfulness" or "un-concealment".
IndieWeb: The last (and only) online social site you’ll ever need—your own.
You don’t even need to “join it” because its something you can choose to own for yourself.
I know I’ve thought and probably said variations of this tagline many times in the past, but I’m not sure I’ve ever written it out. And perhaps it could be honed even further? It’s closely related to the idea that the IndieWeb is what you have when the Internet itself is your social media network.
It’s helped me that I have the capability to cobble together my own version. Eventually we’ll have lots more commoditized versions, but there are a few simple sign up and go options out there that don’t require as much tinkering if you’re interested.
Gardens and Streams: Wikis, Blogs, and UI—a pop up IndieWebCamp session
There has been some sporadic conversation about doing impromptu IndieWebCamp sessions and thus far we’ve yet to organize one. Given our physical distancing and the dearth of bigger IndieWebCamps, I thought I would propose this single topic stand alone camp session to get something rolling. I’d invite others to propose and schedule others in the future.
This is an online only event. We will provide a Zoom video conference link 30 minutes before the session here and in the IndieWeb chat.
Session Topic
We’ll be discussing and brainstorming ideas related to wikis and the IndieWeb, user interfaces, functionalities, examples of wikis and how they differ from blogs and other social media interfaces, and everyones’ ideas surrounding these. Bring your ideas and let’s discuss.
- Hashtag: #GardenAndStream
- Session facilitator: Chris Aldrich
This is just a single one hour IndieWebCamp-like session (though we have the option to go over a bit since there isn’t a session following us) where we’ll brainstorm and discuss a particular topic. Hopefully the weekend time will be convenient for a wide range of people in Europe and North America who have previously shown interest in the topic. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Resources
To prepare for the session we’ll be using the following:
- Zoom: for the audio/video conference portion
- Etherpad: https://etherpad.indieweb.org/GardenAndStream (for real time chat, questions, and note taking during the session)

We recently highlighted opportunities for partners and peers to learn more about web archiving technology and practices through the Archive-It Advanced Training webinar series–all recorded and available on-demand. As more organizations and communities find web archiving needs though, Internet Archive staff are also introducing new and extended training materials to get them crawling for the first time.
With Tim Gunn, Heidi Klum, Joseph Altuzarra, Troy Arnold. The five remaining designers are challenged to create a two-look collection and a digital marketing campaign. In addition to a fashion show, the designers will have to act as creative directors in a photo shoot with their models. In an epic and rainy fashion show, some of the designers shine, while others get washed out.
Directed by Amma Asante. With Cate Blanchett, Rose Byrne, Elizabeth Banks, Kayli Carter. Shirley Chisholm makes a historic run for president, while Gloria struggles to play politics at the DNC. Phyllis takes her new anti-ERA organization national.
Interesting to see someone hang on to everything through the convention with such a small margin. These days candidates fall out with such numbers after the first few states.
Directed by Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck. With Cate Blanchett, Rose Byrne, Uzo Aduba, Elizabeth Banks. While Phyllis mobilizes grassroots support in her fight against the ERA, Gloria Steinem fends off Bella Abzug's attempts to drag her further into the political game.
Directed by Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck. With Cate Blanchett, Rose Byrne, Uzo Aduba, Elizabeth Banks. Conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly considers another run for Congress, amid the women's movement's push for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Interesting to see how painfully sidelined Phyllis Schlafly is here, yet she thinks there’s equality? Very subtly done.
