Version 3.5.0 of my location plugin, Simple Location, is now out(forgot to push a fix and had to release 3.5.1 as well). Simple Location is, as time goes on, anything but Simple. It is all about location, including the weather at your location. It adds this to posts, and offers several simple widget...

Reply to Damian Yerrick about leaving Tumblr and recommendation engines
Of course going the direction of old school blogs and following those who comment on your own site has historically been a quick way to build a network. I’m also reminded of Colin Walker’s directory which creates a blogroll of sorts by making a list of websites that have webmentioned his own. Webrings are also an interesting possibility for topic-related community building.
Since Tumblr is unlikely to shut down immediately, those effected could easily add their personal websites to their bios to help transition their followerships to feed readers or other methods for following and reading.
Of course the important thing in the near term is to spend a moment downloading and backing up one’s content just in case.

Protests. Interruptions. Delays. The confirmation hearings for President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee got an unusual start.
“Elsku Stelpur (Dear Girls) - YouTube”
This is an amazing performance on gender equality by a group of girls from my old high school. Happy it exists and can be shared. Proud that it won the Skrekkur talent show in 2015.
I'd just like to point out that this was made before the metoo movement started.

❤️ facebook | notiz.Blog
In den letzten 4…5 Jahren hab ich immer wieder mit dem Gedanken gespielt meinen facebook Account zu löschen. Mein Account hatte wirklich wenig persönliches und ich habe ihn fast ausschließlich dazu benutzt, meine Blogposts zu teilen. Der einzig plausible Grund der mich noch daraun gehindert hat...
🔖 Talk Like a Pirate, Me Hearties | Adactio.com
Ideal for your talk-like-a-pirate-day browsing every September 19th. Maybe a bookmarklet that does this would be cool? Come to think of it, maybe having a browser extension that does this for you automatically on every page you visit on September 19th would be a fun little toy!
👓 Webring experiment ends. | Brad Enslen
I had created two blog oriented webrings as an experiment. It’s been over 6 months and no takers and maybe 3 tire kickers checking them out, so I’ve eliminated them. FYI.

❤️ Tantek’s 7th anniversary of employment @Mozilla | Tantek Çelik
Two days ago (10/3) was my 7th anniversary of employment @Mozilla (contracted for ~18 months before that). I’ve only worked at one other organization for that many years, also starting with “M”. In comparison, today I’m far more optimistic about what I’m working on, and the organization I’m working with than last time I hit the 7 year employment mark. Interestingly enough I’m more optimistic about that other organization today than when I left it as well.
🔖 ❤️ GeorgeLakoff tweet on neutral language in journalism
Many journalists still assume that language is neutral, that you can just repeat language and it’s completely neutral. In fact, language is never neutral. Language is always framed in a certain way, and it always has consequences. https://t.co/tCo6qnRThM
