I’ve also got a regularly updated OPML file for many of the same people if you prefer to subscribe to/follow their websites directly (this method is more Domains-friendly right!?!). If you use Inoreader or other services that support OPML subscription technology, this feed will auto-update for you as new people are added to the list, preventing you from needing to regularly refresh the OPML file manually. I’ll try to update this OPML file this evening for today’s/tomorrow’s attendees based on their websites in their Twitter profiles.
Don’t hesitate to ping me if you’d like to be added to the lists, or if I’m missing anyone. Be sure to include your most relevant RSS feed(s) for the OPML portion of that list. Feel free to copy/modify either of the lists to your heart’s content.
If you want to give it a spin, I’ve always liked Noter Live as a live Tweeting tool at conferences. It automatically includes the hashtag, threads tweets, and saves speakers for easier/quicker writing/posting. When you’re done, it saves your history, so you can cut/paste and save/post it all to your own website (ie, it’s pro-DoOO!)
“Seeing good examples of existing domains is crucial for showing students what is possible in creating their own domain, says @CassieNooyen #domains19”
This is a lot of the value behind the idea of Homebrew Website Club and even the early blogosphere. Seeing interesting/useful things others have is likely to make you want that thing too. #KeepingUpWithTheDomains #Domains19
The premise behind your post would make an incredibly valuable conference session at the upcoming IndieWeb Summit. Any chance you’re attending (in person or remotely)? We need your ideas.
Directed by Alan Poul. With Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, John Gallagher Jr., Alison Pill. The team looks forward as they mourn the loss of a coworker.
I’d noticed it before, but there’s an episode of The West Wing with this same title (as well as several other Sorkin series).
The funeral scenes were shot at The Church of Our Saviour in San Gabriel. I immediately recognized it from having been there frequently, but even moreso because I happened to have been there on the day they shot the episode. I think my car may have been visible in one of the long shot scenes.
Directed by Paul Lieberstein. With Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, John Gallagher Jr., Alison Pill. Shocking information regarding the source comes to light in the fight for Will's freedom.
This season sure did wind itself up pretty quickly. As I’m watching it, I realize that I had seen the third season, but somehow I apparently haven’t remembered it well.
Before one even starts learning how to manage an internet domain of their own, they face the step of choosing a name for what will be their street address on the internet. What should be on the left some of “something” dot “something” as one’s own internet address?
Some people stick with something close to or based on their name, so it clearly identifies”all their web sites?
Others have chosen a name that is more thematic, a play on words, a reference to interests or just a playful attitude.
There is no “correct” answer (but plenty of search result suggestions)- it’s a matter of what fits better for your personality, and as long as you are creating and sharing at that address.
What was the thinking behind your domain name?

My current domain name (boffosocko.com) came from a crazy brainstorm several years ago when I was registering a handful of domain names related to ideas in the entertainment industry. I was surprised that there were a handful of well-known and commonly used industry phrases that were freely available, so I scooped them all up. While I was doing that I noticed that the Variety-speak words related to boffo and socko were also available. In particular, I thought boffosocko.com was pretty cool and one day I’d come up with a use for it.
After a few years I decided that since I hadn’t been able to register my own name as a URL (there was a web designer who had beat me to it), I would co-opt boffosocko.com into use, and really, what could be a better name for a personal website?
“Boffo” and “socko” are neologisms in the family of Variety-speak after the well known business trade journal covering Tinseltown (often better known as Hollywood aka the Coast, aka H’w’d.)
boff (also boffo, boffola) — outstanding (usually refers to box office performance); ” ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ has been boffo at the B.O.” (See also, socko, whammo)
sock (also socko) — very good (usually refers to box office performance); ” ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ has done socko B.O.” (See also, boff, whammo)
Incidentally, one of the first movies I saw on cable via HBO when our family first got it when I was a youth (and easily saw over 100 times that summer) was THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN. Within it, there’s a great scene where Kermit schmoozes a big Broadway producer (played by John Landis) that I’m sure must have had a profound effect on me.
