👓 Chris Aldrich is reading “How to Succeed in the Networked World”

Read How to Succeed in the Networked World by Anne-Marie Slaughter (Foreign Affairs)

 they actually use Medium for their core publication This is definitely not an IndieWeb way to go! But not every nail needs a fully-custom hammer. Ain't this the truth.

I Voted 🇺🇸

I voted in the November 8th, 2016 Election! 🇺🇸   After having spent the weekend at IndieWebCamp Los Angeles, it somehow seems appropriate to have a "Voted post type" for the election today†. To do it I'm proposing the following microformats, an example of which can be found in the mark up of the post…

Downloaded My TwitPic Archive

While I was updating Indieweb/site-deaths, I was reminded to download my TwitPic archive. It sold to Twitter almost two years ago this week and has been largely inactive since. It includes some of the earliest photos I ever took and posted online via mobile phone. Looking at the quality, it's interesting to see how far we've…
