Remember that song “99 bottles of beer on the wall?” Singing down the numbers helped children endure long car journeys before tablets, even if it drove their parents to distraction.  We…

There’s been some recent revival of chat about fragmentions and the fragmentioner within the IndieWeb community which enable the ability to more easily highlight and annotate individual portions of a web page and target them directly via URL.

This caused me to take a look at where the conversations on webmentions went within the Hypothesis project. Unless they’re hiding offline or somewhere else, it would appear that they’ve stalled, though I have a feeling that it could be an interesting notification method for Hypothesis to indicate to a site that it’s been highlighted or annotated. Also given that the Webmention spec is a W3C recommendation as of January 2017 compared to its status in 2014 when the topic was last brought up on the GitHub repo.

As a result of the above, if they’re free, I’d love to extend an invitation to Dan Whaley (t), Jon Udell (t), Jeremy Dean (t), Nate Angell (t), or anyone else working on the Hypothes.is project to join us in Portland this June 26-27 for the annual IndieWebSummit / IndieWebCamp.  I highly suspect there will be some heavy interest in the topics of open ways of annotating, highlighting, and notifying websites as well as UI/UX discussion around this area which we can all continue to expand and improve upon. And naturally there are sure to be a broad area of other topics at the summit that will be of interest in addition to these.

📺 “Black-ish” Collateral Damage | ABC

Watched "Black-ish" Collateral Damage from ABC
Directed by Gail Lerner. With Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Marcus Scribner, Miles Brown.
Another dark episode?! There was the potential for redemption at the end, but then it got even darker. If it doesn’t rebound soon, I’m giving up on the series.

📺 “Black-ish” Blue Valentime | ABC

Watched "Black-ish" Blue Valentime from ABC
Directed by Jonathan Groff. With Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Marcus Scribner, Miles Brown. Tensions are high between Dre and Bow as their contractor arrives to remodel the kitchen, realizing they have grown apart. Dre reflects on the good times in his relationship with Bow.
Wow this went really dark and stayed there. Some interesting filmmaking technique here, but I come for the laughs with characters I know, so I’m not a big fan of where this is going.

📺 “Black-ish” Fifty-Three Percent | ABC

Watched "Black-ish" Fifty-Three Percent from ABC
Directed by Tracee Ellis Ross. With Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Marcus Scribner, Miles Brown. Dre and Bow have been fighting more than usual, and they decide to go back to their therapist who suggests they make time for a date night.
An odd dark ending on this episode.
I just submitted a workshop/presentation proposal to WordCamp for Publishers: Chicago (Aug 8-10) on the topic of applying IndieWeb principles and new W3C recommended open web standards to publishing. I’m particularly excited because their theme is “Taking Back The Open Web”!

Fingers crossed!

Another alternative:

To respond on your own website, enter the URL of your response which should contain a link to this post’s permalink URL. Your response will then appear (possibly after moderation) on this page. Want to update or remove your response? Update or delete your post and re-enter your post’s URL again.

If there’s the ability to hook into whether or not comments are moderated, one could simplify it slightly with an if/then statement based on the site’s moderation policy to either include, or not, the part about moderation.

Reply to Anna Holmes’ post about using cheese as a bookmark

Move over chicken. I can already see someone in the IndieWeb community creating a Cheese post kind to begin cheesemarking content on the internet.

 

So, apparently some time in October and unbeknownst to me, my website got (was given?) an SSL certificate so that it would resolve via https. I accidentally discovered this today and spent a few minutes setting up the appropriate redirects so that everyone is forced to use https links to access my site. I may still have a few administrative redirects and some bookmarklets to tweak along the way, but the whole process was far simpler than I would have expected.

A nice side benefit is that now the Simple Location data I’d like to use will now self-populate when I make posts relating to location!
