Royal weddings are so different these days...
Coverage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.
Interestingly no one from any outlet I’ve seen seemed to have bothered to have watched the TV show Suits to be able to comment on any of her co-stars at all. There was some camera coverage of many of them, but generally no mention of who they were or why they were there.
The coverage of the ceremony seemed exactly the same without any commentary, so I fast-forwarded through that portion of the coverage here.
Directed by Julie Cohen, Betsy West. With Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Gloria Steinem, Nina Totenberg. A look at the life and work of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
At the age of 84, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has developed a breathtaking legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. But without a definitive Ginsburg biography, the unique personal journey of this diminutive, quiet warrior's rise to the nation's highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans - until now. RBG is a revelatory documentary exploring Ginsburg's exceptional life and career from Betsy West and Julie Cohen, and co-produced by Storyville Films and CNN Films.
Jim Groom from YouTubeA Domain of One's Own is an international initiative in higher education to give students and faculty more control over their personal data. The movement started at the University of Mary Washington in 2012, and has since grown to tens of thousands of faculty and students across hundreds of universities. The first part of this presentation (5-10 minutes) will provide a brief overview of how these Domains projects enable not only data portability for coursework, but also a reflective sense of what a digital identity might mean in terms of privacy and data ownership.
The second part of this presentation will explore how Domain of One's Own could provides a powerful example in how higher education could harness application programming interfaces (APIs) to build a more user-empowered data ecosystem at universities. The initial imaginings of this work has already begun at Brigham Young University in collaboration with Reclaim Hosting, and we will share a blueprint of what a vision of the Personal API could mean for a human-centric data future in the realm of education and beyond.
Toward the end, Groom makes mention of MyData, a Nordic Model for human-centered personal data management and processing, which I’d not previously heard of but which has some interesting resources which look like they might dovetail into some of what those in the IndieWeb are looking at. I’m curious if any of the folks in the EU like Sebastian Greger have come across them, and what their thoughts are on the idea/model they’ve proposed? It looks like they’ve got an interesting looking conference coming up at the end of August in Helsinki. There seems to be a white paper outlining a piece of their philosophy, which I’ll link to below:
MyData: A Nordic Model for human-centered personal data management and processing by Antti Poikola (t), Kai Kuikkaniemi (t), Harri Honko (t)
This white paper presents a framework, principles, and a model for a human-centric approach to the managing and processing of personal information. The approach – defined as MyData – is based on the right of individuals to access the data collected about them. The core idea is that individuals should be in control of their own data. The MyData approach aims at strengthening digital human rights while opening new opportunities for businesses to develop innovative personal data based services built on mutual trust.
Based on a quick overview, this is somewhat similar to a model I’ve considered and is reminiscent to some ideas I’ve been harboring about applications of this type of data to the journalism sphere as well.

Like a penny farthing made love to a tricycle, the Halfbike is one of the cutest modes of non-motorised transport around. Here's my review.
Check out the Halfbike on www.halfbikes.com
It was time to reinterpret and revise the modern fun machine. The new aluminium rims are one of the most notable changes. In addition to being very chic, they are much more resistant and robust than the original spokes. The pedals were also strengthened and the pedal crank widened, lending extreme stability to the chain system. The bicycle chain was lengthened and now facilitates even simpler acceleration. In short, it is now even more stable and capable of meeting the heavy demands of Pedalflow fans.
But don’t panic, even those of us who are less sportingly inclined can enjoy the Pedalflow. It’s still very easy to ride and, thanks to its light weight of only 7 kg, suitable for commuters or a pleasant trip around town. It can be folded with ease and its compact design stowed away without difficulty.
