-- the work that has been done on webmention, microformats, micropub, etc, has inspired a new generation of open web developers. It's shown what can be achieved. And if it can inform / inspire new platforms and web engineers, that seems incredibly valuable to me. (2/2)

I'd respectfully like to disagree here. It's hard to argue with the premise that Facebook is exponentially more popular, but I don't think the social ship has sailed - see Zuck's recent announcement of needing to rejig the news feed, for example. But more importantly -- (1/2)

My Jibun Techo has become my scrapbook this year. As well as tracking when I workout, my weight, meals, and TV/movies I watch, I stick mementos in it when I remember to keep them.

I’m committed to running my own personal website, and I want to go back to real blogging, but I’m sick of doing server maintenance / software upgrades. Just saw my DB is down again, ffs. Moving to static files before too long.

The story so far: In 1970, Intel invented the microprocessor. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Whoa, awesome! I see some familiar names on that page. This is my first exploration of the hobby. I've always felt like it'd be something I'd enjoy, and after reading that book, I'm certain of it :)

In just over a week I’ll turn 39. They say that your thirties are like your twenties but better; there’s been some truth to that. But what should I definitely do over the next year to close out this arbitrary decade of my life?

It's 2018, and new "decentralised / indieweb" projects are still mostly using highly technical jargon / feature descriptions in their advertising & messaging. This has never, and will never work. Talk about values, design and experience instead and people might actually listen.

I know we are “all processor vulns all the time right now” but don’t forget .@CES 2018 is coming & bringing with it both vulnerable #IoT devices & ridiculous AND vulnerable IoT devices. Example from last year - smart hair brushes. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/03/technology/personaltech/ces-2018.html
