The blogosphere is in full bloom. The rest of the internet has wilted

[https://www.theguardian.com/profile/johnnaughton] "If you log into Dave Winer’s blog, Scripting News, you’ll find a constantly updated note telling you how many years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds the blog has been running. Sometime tomorrow mor...

If Harris Wins, Whether She Keeps Lina Khan Will Be Extremely Telling

[Karl Bode at TechDirt] "The Harris campaign has remained largely silent on whether Khan will be allowed to stick around. And it remains entirely unclear whether Harris will continue Biden’s support of something that, for once, at least vaguely resembles ant...

Interestingly, the clock at the bottom of the nightly emails does not agree with the clock on the home page of Scripting News. It's a hard thing to test in real life. And it's completely fitting, given the motto of the blog is "It's even worse than it appears," which could be the motto of programmers everywhere, and probably bloggers too. We always focus on the bad news, of course -- that's human nature -- but always remember, it could be worse. 😄

Today's the big day. Thanks to John Naughton's wonderful piece in the Guardian, I'm hearing from people all over the world about what blogging means to them. I appreciate all of the messages, but would appreciate them even more if they were on your blog. We need to keep using the tech. Blogging is kind of lost, and I would like to see that change. Every time you post something you're proud of on a social media site, how about taking a moment and posting it to your blog too. And while there, if appropriate, link to something from some part of your post, even though the social media sites don't support linking, the web is still there and it still does.

How about those Mets, day 2

I am reminded of 2015, when the Mets were so charmed -- they could be down 9-0 in the 8th inning and you would tune into the game to see how they'd win it. It's not the usual thing for the Mets, who pull defeat from the jaws of victory far more often than the other way. And...

WordPress destiny, day 2

Glad I wrote the piece I wrote yesterday. I could have written it any time in the last year as I was investigating and developing on the WordPress API and back end, but now seemed to be a good time, with all the attention its getting, and Matt's interviews, I and others are ...

Rules for Resters

[Ben Werdmuller on Medium] I find myself returning to this piece I wrote on Medium about building downtime into your work and lifestyle. It's important: Eight years into working in America, I’m still getting used to the macho culture around vacations. I had ...

You Can’t Own The Social Web

[Bix Frankonis] Bix Frankonis does not agree with my analysis of the Fediverse and the Social Web Foundation. For him, much of the issue relates to appropriation of the "social web" name: "Like many trade groups, this one is named and self-described in a man...

I have heavily invested in 3d printing this season. I feel the need to justify the cost by printing more things. Time to organize my drawers and cabinets. There seem to be a lot of choices in that area.

Finished Rings of Power season 2. I enjoyed it as long as I don’t hold it to the high standard of how a perfect adaptation looks in my mind. Hobbits and dwarves were the strongest this season for me. Elves dialogue is always overly dramatic. Still all the money on screen, some stunning sequences. 📺

The two Fediverses

I was tagged in a fairly critical SocialHub post about the Social Web Foundation launch announcement. I wasn’t in a position to add to the conversation then, but I’ve been thinking about it all week. Before I dive further, a reminder: I am not an employee or founder of...

A WordPress app ecosystem?

A few years before WordPress came out, I did a product called Radio UserLand which was a combination blogging tool and feed reader. Two main screens, a streamlined UI. You could get in quickly, write and publish a post in a minute, and see it show up in the reader a moment l...
