  Something New In 2007 I read a blog post and got applause at an event my ex created called LA Bloggers Live. That lasted less than a year but folks had fun at it. Public speaking was fun and terrifying in equal measure. Blogging has created for me so many distinct and peculiar opportunities! Things changed since...

  Misc: Links and videos and commentary which may compel thee I had not seen this repost of Mother Earth Mother Board, an article by Neal Stephenson from Eric Meyer and I’m glad to see it now. It reminds me I put up a repost of Stephenson’s In the Beginning Was The Command Line in 1999 and it’s still up. The notes from this past week’s...

  How can you not be romantic about baseball? The first professional baseball game I ever saw was at Dodger Stadium. Just Dad and me in—I think—1976. But the memory is vague. Might’ve been 1975.

I had a clear glass puzzle when I was a pre-teen...

  Dune and Colonialism I’ve been doing maintenance. I’ve finished porting over all the RSS Feeds from one reader (Tiny Tiny RSS) to a new one (FreshRSS) and doing that has allowed me to revisit a lot of old feeds, friends and acquaintances who have died (Heather Armstrong and Jennifer Simpson, notably and shockingly, both died too young and...

  Unfrozen Caveman Web Video Do I hate and fear web video. Yes. Mostly. Phil Hartman as the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer on SNL in the early 1990s. A slickster who claimed modern technology scares him. The first time I encountered video for the web I was capturing and processing videos of video gameplay down to postage-stamp size. This was for...

  Webmentions, explained. A Non-Technical Intro to Webmentions can’t help but be a tiny bit technical. But it’s certainly approachable. Nice work Natalie! Here’s how Natalie boiled them down: Webmentions are a way to let a website know that you linked to it. Webmentions, tech-wise
