I ♥ RSS

Hello, Hacker News!

Wow, I don't think I've ever been featured on the homepage of Hacker News before. Let alone number one!

My post received 3,486 views, which is considerably more than I usually get. As of right now we have 63 members added to our list.

I’m happy that RSS love is generating so much discussion, including the usual haters.

But this is a positive place, and so far I’ve been discovering so much interesting writing through the blogroll on the homepage.

Thank you!

Scripting News Valid

A story from the deep dark history of my blog. I got an email from Steve Wozniak inviting me to lunch at one of our favorite retaurants, By The Bucket, in Santa Clara. He told me that the board had decided to fire the Apple CEO, he gave me the date and time. I wasn't surprised, it was kind of expected. I wasn't a reporter, so I gave the story to a friend at the San Jose Mercury-News, and she did the reporting, and then on the morning of the big event, I wrote a blog post saying it was time to fire him. A couple of hours later, as if responding to my post, they did. That might have been Peak Dave in Silicon Valley.

Scripting News Valid

Taking some time off the breathe and regain perspective. Fixed a few bugs, and talked about the big picture on demo.rss.chat. I really want to get a project going to peer with standard.site apps running in AT Proto, both ways, from us to them, and from them to us, via RSS. W...

RSS love

Taking my cue from Andrew Shell (of rssCloud Server fame, about which you will be hearing more soon ;-), i have added a little feature to the footer of this site, which expresses my appreciation to Dave Winer, Andrew and the wonderful RSS community, which makes syndication of all sites great and small Really Simple!

SBSK is The Most Important Channel on YouTube

Special Books by Special Kids is the most important channel on YouTube. Chris Ulmer and Alyssa Porter's decade-long project interviewing neurodiverse individuals and people with disabilities has created a more inclusive world through radical equality, unconditional positive regard, and the belief that all communication is valid. On the channel's origins, its tangible impact on real lives, and why treating disabled people with dignity is ordinary rather than heroic.

RSS is Still Alive

I found a website promoting RSS feeds while scrolling through my RSS feed aggregator this morning: I ♥ RSS It is a site that provides a directory of other websites that offer RSS 2.0 feeds. I immediately submitted my site to the directory (since WordPress provides feeds by default) and added their badge to the […]

 Warming up

I have to warm up before I can write to you. A shopping list, to get the ink flowing. An affirmation, to get my head right. A few words about the things I can see in front of me. A poem, a story, a novel, a memoir. A list of
