Yesterday I proposed the idea of a “minimum interesting service worker” that could provide a link (or links) to archives or mirrors when your site was unavailable as one possible solution to the desire to make personal #indieweb sites more reliable by providing at least a use...

Ran my 12th #BayToBreakers race in 1:59:54 on Sunday 2024-05-19. After a comedy of transit struggles to get to the start line, I jumped in with Corral C runners (my bib was for Corral B) and started with them.Great seeing the Midnight Runners crab rave cheer gang in Hayes Val...

It seems like just yesterday WordPress was becoming a teenager, and in a blink of the eye it’s now old enough to drink! 21 years since Mike and I did the first release of WordPress, forking Michel’s work on b2/cafélog. There’s been many milestones and highlights along the way, and many more to come. I’ve … Continue reading WP21 →

Today is my first day post-sabbatical, getting back in the swing of things with Automattic. W.org, all the things. What a unique experience! I found the lead up to the sabbatical and planning process to be infinitely valuable, the sabbatical itself to be interesting experentially, and I’m curious to see what the post-sabbatical effects are. … Continue reading Sabbatical Wrap →

You can’t sing. I can’t sing. But we both should sing, from the depths of our bellies because it’s good for your soul. We don’t sing enough in modern society! Hence, my love of karaoke. Live band karaoke is the best, which I’ve done everywhere from the basement of Hill Country BBQ in New York … Continue reading Karaoke Hacks →

Illuminate has crossed the funding threshold it needed to actually kick off the project of bringing the Bay Lights back to San Francisco, as Heather Knight writes for the New York Times. The upgraded lights will be visible not just from San Francisco but also in Oakland, Treasure Island, Berkeley… all across the Bay. It’s … Continue reading Bay Lights Are Returning! →

I’m not one to shy away from random things I find on the internet, so when I came across the Scott Alexander article on a discovery in the 80s about people who don’t get cavities, my first thought was “how far is Honduras from Houston?” So on February 28th, my friend Rene and I became … Continue reading Mouth Biohacking →

Dave Winer (@davew) stellt (sich) auf seinem Blog und auf Mastodon die Frage: What does ActivityPub does that RSS doesn’t? und nimmt vorweg: Off the top of my head, it’s not the ability to syndicate, RSS already does that. I can follow anyone on any server. Es macht natürlich Sinn, erstmal zu klären was RSS […]

Das Fediverse tut sich schwer, das volle Potential der verschiedenen Activity-Objects auszunutzen, hauptsächlich aus Angst, sie falsch oder schlecht darzustellen und deshalb teilen die meisten großen Netzwerke leider nur Notes. Dabei könnte es so einfach sein! @deadsuperhero schreibt auf seinem Blog, dass er eigentlich gerne Articles veröffentlichen will, aber (hauptsächlich) durch Mastodon zu Note gezwungen […]

Es scheint wohl zum guten Ton zu gehören, dieser Tage einen Newsletter zu betreiben… und da ich das immerhin schon seit 2005 tue, dachte ich, ich mache auch mal etwas Werbung dafür! Und ja, ich hatte schon einen Newsletter, lange bevor Newsletter cool waren!!! Das Thema ist natürlich das „open, portable, interoperable, small, social, synaptic, […]
