Jamie Tanna (Jamie Tanna | Software Engineer)Announcing the Microformats translation layer for book data.
This is awesomeness!
h-book ❧
h-book is an experimental microformat at best.
I might recommend for minimizing the vocabulary that one might use the existing h-product instead and allow parsers to find an ISBN, Library of Congress book number, ASIN, UPC, or other product code to determine “bookness”.

Directed by Christine Gernon. With Joanna Page, Mathew Horne, Rob Brydon, Melanie Walters. Despite a savage dummy interview from Bryn Stacey gets a job as a waitress as Marco's cafe. Dave Coaches is not happy when Nessa and the young Shipmans take baby Neil to Essex but cuts his losses when Nessa's father offers a weekend watching porn. In Billericay Pam and Mick order a huge Indian takeaway for the family and a surprisingly quiet Dawn and Pete. Stacey wants Gavin to slip away from the party and make a baby with her but he gets drunk and passes out. Next morning Nessa and Smithy wake up in the same bed.
Directed by Christine Gernon. With Mathew Horne, Joanna Page, Wayne Cater, Alison Steadman. Whilst Stacey is thrilled to be living back home Gavin tries to come to terms with the culture shock of working with his new Welsh colleagues. Nessa, now living with Dave, throws a christening party for baby Neil, attended by the Shipmans and Smithy and Rudi and their narcoleptic mother Cath. Bryn's lusty singing at the church inspires Pam in her desire to be on 'Britain's Got Talent' but Smithy, having paid for the christening, is annoyed to learn that it is doubling as Nessa and Dave's engagement party. Gavin and Stacey, however, are inspired by the occasion to consider starting a family of their own.
Directed by Christine Gernon. With Mathew Horne, Joanna Page, Steffan Rhodri, Alison Steadman. The Barry folk come to Billericay for the holiday. Gavin surprises his mum and Smithy with news of his promotion in the company's new operation, located in Cardiff.
Directed by Christine Gernon. With Joanna Page, Mathew Horne, Larry Lamb, Alison Steadman. As Stacey doubts if her love for Gavin is real, Nessa goes in to labor, and Smithy is nowhere to be found.
Happy Sixth Birthday Little Free Library #8424!
Alan Jacobs (The Hedgehog Review | Spring 2018: The Human and the Digital)The complexities of social media ought to prompt deep reflection on what we all owe to the future, and how we might discharge this debt.
This fantastic essay touches on so many things related to IndieWeb and A Domain of One’s Own. We often talk about the “why” of these movements, but Alan Jacobs provides some underlying ethics as well.
For those who don’t have a subscription, Alan has kindly and pleasantly provided a samizdat version on his site in .pdf format.

This looks like fun!
I noticed that a khipu features as a plot point in the climax of the movie Dora and the City of Gold.
Microsub is a proposed standard for creating a new generation of social readers that decouples the management of subscriptions to feeds and the parsing/delivering content from the user interface and presentation of the content. This popup IndieWebCamp session will focus on discussions to iterate and evolve the Microsub standard.
What a fail. I’m 3/4ths of the way through watching Braveheart on @PrimeVideo and the stream fails, but when I try to resume, it wants me either pay to rent it or start a Starz subscription trial. What gives?
Things I never expected to be asked #529:
“Will you search for Dolly Parton stickers on Etsy?”
Dr. Matthew Everhard (theLAB)For all the help that Edwards has given scholars and pastors in the areas of theology, philosophy, and missions, it is probably due time that someone devote a doctoral project to Edwards’ organizational genius.
I’m particularly interested here in the idea of interleaved books for additional marginalia. Thanks for the details!
An aspect that’s missing from the overall discussion here is that of the commonplace book. Edwards’ Miscellanies is a classic example of the Western note taking and idea collecting tradition of commonplace books.
While the name for his system is unique, his note taking method was assuredly not. The bigger idea goes back to ancient Greece and Rome with Aristotle and Cicero and continues up to the modern day.
From roughly 900-1300 theologians and preachers also had a sub-genre of this category called florilegia. In the Christian religious tradition Philip Melanchthon has one of the more influential works on the system: De locis communibus ratio (1539).
You might appreciate this article on some of the tradition: https://blog.cph.org/study/systematic-theology-and-apologetics/why-are-so-many-great-lutheran-books-called-commonplaces-or-loci
You’ll find Edwards’ and your indexing system bears a striking resemblance to that of philosopher John Locke, (yes that Locke!): https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/john-lockes-method-for-common-place-books-1685
