Not exactly sure what Colin Devroe means when he says he’s “just going to publish her on my blog”. I guess that means he’s not interested in people, like me, publishing our comments on our blogs. Of course there’s no compulsion to POSSE to be part of the #indieweb, and if you don’t want to, you shouldn’t. But I hope he’ll still accept webmentions.

Marion Nestle links to Dole’s declarations as it prepares to go public. As ever, though, while the company may have to settle lawsuits and what have you, it does not contribute to the costs borne by those who succumb to food poisonning.

Pretty impressive, although why anyone would have any tabs open while they are (presumably) asleep is a mystery to me. But then, I’m an old-fashioned kind of guy.

Each new release of the micro.blog app I check to see whether it will post back here. Still disappointed. Still getting a “micropub error”. Still no idea if there’s anything I can do about it.

NYT vs Beppe Grillo: Is the clown an anti-vaxxer? Seems unlikely the NYT would get this wrong.

I’ve followed Tim Bray via RSS for what seems like forever. And I’m glad he’s committed to keep going. I wonder, though, whether he’ll see this comment of mine. If not, he needs to embrace at least a part of #indieweb just a little more.

In among the firehose of suggestions to someone wanting to know “why #indieweb” was this gem from Matthew Butterick, who sets out, at great but appropriate length, precisely what is wrong with Medium.

I’ve used his advice on Practical Typography before, on one of my sites; seeing it again, I think I need to spend some time making some more deliberate choices on the site I am currently gussying up.

From the annals of bokeh comes this: “As a native speaker of Japanese, I have to point out that ōtofōkasu (オートフォーカス) means “autofocus”, as in an AF camera. The romanization for “out-of-focus” would be autofōkasu (アウトフォーカス).”

Too perfect.

So interesting to read what @chrisaldrich has to say about the Seeing White podcast series. If somebody “born in South Carolina and then living in Georgia” can feel woefully ignorant, as I do, it reinforces what a great job John Biewen and his team are doing.

One door opens, another one shuts; cleaned up my RSS feed from here to remove photos, which weren’t being picked up anyway, only to discover that a quick and dirty fix elsewhere was far dirtier than I expected.
