📺 The Edge of Seventeen (2016) | Sony Pictures

Watched The Edge of Seventeen (2016) from Sony Pictures Entertainment
Directed by Kelly Fremon Craig. With Hailee Steinfeld, Haley Lu Richardson, Blake Jenner, Kyra Sedgwick. High-school life gets even more unbearable for Nadine when her best friend, Krista, starts dating her older brother.
I’d started this a week or so ago and hadn’t seen the whole thing, so I came back and finished it off. Some interesting snark here on the lives of teens… I wasn’t surprised to see the production company behind it once I’d seen the film. Some generally sharp writing, but I was left feeling a bit flat at the end.

📺 Scarface (1983) | Universal

Watched Scarface (1983) from Universal Pictures
Directed by Brian De Palma. With Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer, Steven Bauer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. In Miami in 1980, a determined Cuban immigrant takes over a drug cartel and succumbs to greed.
I’d delved into this last month, but came back and re-watched several parts including the end. Reminds me what a product of the 80’s this film was. Very indulgent, long, and despite the iconic end, it was not as awesome as it really should have been given the talents involved.

Reply to Curtis McHale and David Wolfpaw on rel-alternate

The conversation started in the IndieWeb Chat last week with:
15:27 aaronpk: “my post permalinks now have a rel=alternate link to an mf2 and jf2 JSON version of the post”

And continued over the next several hours and days primarily with participation of aaronpk, GWG, and pfefferle among a few others.

David Shanske (GWG) and I discussed an overview of it in the most recent episode of An IndieWeb Podcast. The conversation about rel=”alternate” begins at the 11:00 minute mark.

Somewhere there’s a note that GWG has already built a big chunk of code into the Webmention/Semantic Linkbacks plugin that implements a large chunk of the work already. There’s also some work done in https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-mf2-feed as well.

Reply to Kat about daily ponderance

Images then & now, that represents how I feel about this class…
I like the ideas of some of these images. Even more interesting to me than the ponderance itself is that Kat has gotten the start of an h-card up on her website! I can see her name and photo now! She’s got a bit more human understandable identity.

This also means that when we use Post Kinds to reply to her, the built-in parser will find her name and photo automatically.

I do notice that it’s missing picking up her website URL properly. I suspect it’s because she left her user profile’s Website field (located at http://kasem-beg.com/wp-admin/profile.php#url) empty.

Sketches of my Home and About page designs

Replied to a post by Greg McVerryGreg McVerry (INTERTEXTrEVOLUTION)

For today’s #dailyponderance I want you to put the computer away, grab some paper and pencil and map out what you think your homepage and about me page should contain.

You don’t need to be an artist, boxes and stuick figures will do.

You don’t have to be writer. Copy can come later. Think layout.

If you already have an about me and a home page sketch it out for others to see what your “prototype” looks like.

I’ve actually been doing some small revamping of both my Home and my About pages on the site recently, so this is actually a nice little exercise that’s reminding me about some of the small changes I’d like to effect. It also reminds me of some of the changes I want to make with regard to some of my menu structures too.

Lately I’ve added a bunch of different ways to slice and dice the content on my site so that readers can hopefully more easily find or discover the content they may be most interested in reading.  I’ve also been trying to pare down on the amount of information and detail which I present.

So without additional ado, here they are:
