Looking forward to computering with the people of @indiewebcamp in NYC 9/30–10/01! https://2017.indieweb.org/nyc

This time-lapse video from astronauts on the International Space Station (@ISS) shows an aurora above Canada beginning over the California coast, to North Dakota then on to Quebec when day breaks. Taken on Sept. 15, 2017, the orbiting laboratory is located 250 miles above Earth and is traveling at 17,500 miles per hour.
At any given time, the station is home to more than 250 experiments, including some that are helping us determine the effects of microgravity on the human body. Research on the station will not only help us send humans deeper into space than ever before, including to Mars, but also benefits life here on Earth.

Hey Folks in/near NYC! @IndieWebCamp NYC is just 5 days away, 9/30 - 10/1

Last year’s IWC NYC was my first in-person IndieWeb experience, and I was completely caught up by the thoughtful people working first-hand to build a more personal, more social web; a web where your content, identity, and interactions are yours, instead of food for surveillance-powered ad-engines like Facebook.

Since then, I’ve started a Homebrew Website Club in Baltimore, a weekly IndieWeb Podcast, made tons of improvements to my site, and even created some IndieWeb tools, like a micropub media endpoint for storing photos, video, audio, and more, a tool for posting events to your own site, and a tool for posting audio, such as podcasts.

So come on out for two days of participatory discussions, user experience design, and face-to-face help improving our personal websites and the future of the IndieWeb!

I’ll be recording interviews for the This Week in the IndieWeb Podcast, if you’re interested in sharing your IndieWeb journey and thoughts.

There will also be some amazing people to meet, like IndieWeb co-founder Tantek Çelik, IndieWeb WordPress developer David Shanske, awesome designer Hannah Donovan, and many more!

Registration is super-affordable! Free if you have your own personal site! https://2017.indieweb.org/nyc.

Hope to see you there!

Rare to see a startup (or really any company) with this much transparency.

imagine posting this on werd.io 1st, tweetstorm 2nd.
Persist the changes you wish to see. #indieweb every day (ttk.me t4qV2)

Put "é" into online forms and imagine the devs tearing their hair out trying to find the bug in their unicode handling.

What happens if Medium goes away?

I'll stick to my own blog, thanks.

hahah🤤ahhaahha🤤haha 🤤🤤🤤

I can't get enough of this icon for an upcoming app I'm working on. http://d.pr/19iQ7 https://t.co/Znx12zwoSb

The perfect date.

I was working on this idea of blending app design with the #iPhoneX notch. 📲🤗

a Kinect now fits on your smartphone. but no.. let’s talk about the layout of Web pages in landscape mode instead.

As I threatened to, I have drawn a 4D horse. A hyperhorse, if you will.

What time is it where you live?

buying iPhone X in europe? why not add a free weekend trip to NYC

This Fibonacci joke is as bad as the last two you heard combined.

2007: It's called a smart phone, it can do everything!
2017: Stare into the nightmare rectangle and watch society collapse in real time

Merits of the product aside, best example yet that framing your startup properly matters. The contrast here is pretty enormous.
