This was rad. This kid started singing Matisyahu's "One day" and didn't know that the artist was right in front of him. Watch the reveal at the end. He still didn't believe it was him and it took a second for it all to sink in. Loved this moment. Update: the kids name is Kekoa or aka Clint Alama.

Lyrics:
Sometimes I lay
Under the moon
And thank God I'm breathing
Then I pray
Don't take me soon
'Cause I am here for a reasonSometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around because...All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One dayIt's not about
Win or lose
'Cause we all lose
When they feed on the souls of the innocent
Blood-drenched pavement
Keep on moving though the waters stay ragingIn this maze you can lose your way (your way)
It might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you, no way (no way)"
Johns Hopkins University awards the 2020 President's Frontier Award during a surprise event on January 16, 2020 at the university's Homewood campus in Baltimore.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University say most participants in a study couldn't pick out the correct form of lowercase g, a letter shape most of us have seen millions of times. Play this game to find out if you can spot the right g.
Tens of millions of Americans, most of them men, tune in to sports talk radio. Is sports talk a haven for old-school guy talk, including misogyny and gay-bashing? For the final episode in our series on sports and society, “Contested,” host John Biewen listened in.
This episode was worth having listened to twice. It was included in Biewen’s subsequent series on men.
Directed by Matia Karrell. A federal prosecutor's threat to indict Toby on another charge has the potential to affect the impending election.
Directed by Laura Innes. Both candidates face vital choices about which states to campaign in; Vinick tries to put the nuclear issue behind him; Bruno finds Santos's briefcase.
Directed by Alex Graves. The Vinick campaign struggles with the impact of the nuclear accident in California; Josh and Donna have a "moment".
Today's tempest in a toilet comes courtesy of the Hellsite. An award-winning author had the effrontery to suggest that fans aren't necessarily doing authors a favor by tagging them when they share a review of their work on social media. Their opinion seems to be that it's safest from a professional standpoint to not engage with reviews at all, whether they praise a work or excoriate it, so they'd rather not hear about them in the first place.
An interesting debate…
Directed by Nisha Ganatra. With Emma Thompson, Mindy Kaling, John Lithgow, Hugh Dancy. A late night talk show host suspects that she may soon lose her long-running show.
Well plotted with some excellent characters. Perhaps not as funny as I might have wanted, but they did have a handful of long play jokes that they set up from the first act that came back to land reasonably well.
Rating: ★★★½
Today I exported all my YouTube subscriptions as an OPML file and imported them to my website’s following page (aka blogroll). I still have a bit of clean up to do to categorize and present them all the way I’d like, but I’ve got a huge start on it.
I’m hoping now that I’ve cut the cord, I’ll be able to use my various feed readers to watch and stream more video content.
It’s amazing how many inactive channels I was following.
Special thanks to Martijn van der Ven who had done some great research on YouTube Atom feeds and OPML and created documentation on the IndieWeb wiki YouTube page.
gRegorLove (GitHub)Similar to Goodreads, allow entering a percentage or page number to track your progress.
I need to think about this some more, but I suspect IBC would generate text like "Progress: 25%" and include it in the
e-contentof the Micropub request.
Perhaps this example could be a useful model: https://boffosocko.com/2020/02/13/55767168/
The progress portion is coded roughly in HTML with a label as follows:
<ul>
<li class="bookprogress"><progress value="177" max="465">38%</progress> <label for="">38.0% done; loc 4290-4847 of 12932</label></li>
</ul>You could always use <p> or <span> instead of ul/li tags (with some app specific classes to allow the receiving site to create its own custom CSS for display. Otherwise browsers should be able to display a reasonable visual default.
I’d recommend support for pages, percentages finished, and potentially even Amazon’s default location numbers, with the ability to translate back and forth potentially when given at least two of the parameters as a minimum which should allow the calculation of the others. I find in practice that it’s generally pretty rare to have both page numbers and location numbers, but it could happen.
I’ve also got an extended version available at https://boffosocko.com/2012/06/17/big-history/#READING%20PROGRESS
