    I’ve gotten through entire (admittedly short) conversations in dutch just by speaking german in a dutchey way. It’s not just a weird version of german though, they have some (adorable) words of their own too!

    No, no, Dutch is basically English if you're drunk on German beer.

    Holy shit

    Some epic gifs on Steve Mann (of the Eyetap, retro precursor to Google Glass and some modern AR stuff)'s website http://wearcam.org/

    fun fact: I've met him a couple times, and played his water-based musical instrument, the hydraulophone, on stage 😊

    it's always important to consider the opposite viewpoint

    @aaronpk That's interesting and kind of weird. I also tend to like black coffee, hoppy beers, strong greens, etc. (and spicy foods, although I would not eat a raw habanero!) -- but cilantro has tasted like soap to me for as long as I can remember, although tempering it with something acidic like a lot of lime juice seems to cut back on the Palmolive a lot.

    interesting, I might have to experiment with adding lime juice next time! Although actually maybe that explains why I haven't really noticed it before, because most of the time in the US I have cilantro on mexican tacos which often have lime juice, but this time it was a mild soup.

    I decided to set up a URL shortener on my short domain, aaronpk.com, thanks to some recent discussion in the IndieWeb chat.

    I found an open source project that is basically exactly what I would have built if I had built my own: https://polrproject.org/

    The installation wasn't seamless, but I'm familiar enough with the tech it's built on so I managed to get it set up. I also made one modification to it, which is that if you type in a short URL that doesn't exist, it redirects to the same path on aaronparecki.com, so that all my regular pages now automatically have a short URL.

    This is definitely a lot nicer than my previous solution of adding URLs to a text file.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
