👓 Three things about Readers during IndieWebCamp Nürnberg | Seblog
Sebastiaan Andeweg (seblog.nl)Oh IndieWebCamp. You come with a few things you want to for your own website, then you do some completely other things, and after that you leave with an even longer list of things to do for your own website. This year is marked as the ‘Year of the Reader’, and indeed, there was a lot of Reader t...

👓 The unexpected question I ask myself every year | Ben Werdmüller
Ben Werdmüller (Ben Werdmüller)Okay, but seriously, how can I get to work on Doctor Who? It's a dumb question, but my love for this show runs deep - I've been watching it since I was five years old at least. As a non-aggressive, third culture kid who couldn't fit in no matter how he tried, growing up in Britain in the eighties an...
👓 Checking in on my social media fast | Ben Werdmüller
Ben Werdmüller (Ben Werdmüller)Three weeks ago, I decided to go dark on social media. No convoluted account deletion process; no backups. I just logged out everywhere, and deleted all my apps. It's one of the best things I've ever done. I thought I'd check in with a quick breakdown: what worked, and what didn't. Here we go. Wh...
👓 I’m going dark on social media for the rest of 2018. | Ben Werdmüller
Ben Werdmüller (Ben Werdmüller)For a host of reasons, I've decided to go dark on social media for the remainder of 2018. If my experiment is successful beyond that time, I'll just keep it going. Originally, I'd intended to do this just for the month of December, but as I sat around the Thanksgiving dinner table yesteryday, surrou...
👓 Building towers, not tunnels | Ben Werdmüller
Ben Werdmüller (Ben Werdmüller)Years ago, someone broke into my home and stole my laptops while I lay in bed upstairs. I had left them out on the dining table, and the burglar broke their way into my back garden and smashed through one of my rear windows with a brick. This was Oxford in the winter, and I had a hard plastic sheet ...

👓 Playing with the Indieweb | Notist | Stephen Rushe
I’ve recently been exploring the world of the IndieWeb, and owning my own content rather than being reliant on the continued existence of “silos” to maintain it. This has led me to discover the varied eco-system of IndieWeb, such as IndieAuth, Microformats, Micropub, Webmentions, Microsub, POSSE, and PESOS. I’ll give a whirlwind high-level tour of each and also show examples of the related projects I’ve spend my time on in recent months, including hand-crafted artisanal music scrobbling.
👓 When you’re on a plane for 16 hours | supine-owl.com
Serena (supine-owl.com)When you’re on a plane for 16 hours you have to find something to do.
Originally I had scanned @camilladerrico colouring book into the Pigment app, but in the end @procreate was the better app for what I wanted to do.
Also, it creates a time lapse of my progress.
I need to work on colouring skin.

👓 Loveland Public Library to Host Free Beginners WordPress Class Online May 22, 2019 | WP Tavern
Public libraries are one of the few remaining community centers where people freely pass on valuable skills to neighbors young and old. In addition to offering free access to books, computers, and …
This library looks like it’s essentially hosting a WordPress-sepecific Homebrew Website Club and doing something in the wild that Greg McVerry and I think would be a great public model.
