@aaronpk I love HWC, but in practice, I think it's more technical. We tend to sit around talking about practical things we've built.

@benwerd I still haven't been to one in SF!

@benwerd Isn't that the idea behind Homebrew Website Club? I like the name though.

@aaronpk I'm sympathetic, but the impact from losing those sites has been low, which doesn't lend itself to alternative models

@jaredhanson I couldn't fit them all on the slide. http://indiewebcamp.com/site-deaths

New favorite Mac and Cheese recipe and best way to eat zucchini from the CSA. Shred the zucchini in this pencil sharpener thing to turn it into spaghetti-like strips. Make a cheese sauce, like instant Mac and Cheese (the vegan Leahey brand one is great) and mix with hot sauce and black pepper. Way more satisfying than pasta Mac and Cheese and you eat half a zucchini this way! #recipe #vegan #macandcheese

Doh. I really wanted to see @aaronpk talk about Micropub but I sadly neglected to register or plan for #osb15. http://bit.ly/1eGzLuy

@hertling aww! The talk will be recorded so you can watch later! In the mean time, come to IndieWebCamp! https://ti.to/indiewebcamp/2015-portland #osb15

@barryf watching your #indieweb video triggered my Amazon Echo! Turns out when you say "an excerpt" she hears "Alexa"

I've had the Echo for a few months now, and despite being skeptical of voice control in general, have been pleasantly surprised by Alexa!

Realistically, I haven't found all of the promoted features as useful as they try to make them appear. So far, it has been most useful for:
- setting timers while cooking, so I don't have to fiddle with the crummy interface on my microwave with my hands covered in goo
- turning off lights after I'm in bed
- setting an alarm for the morning
- asking "what's the weather" while I'm getting dressed
- adding things to my grocery list

@tarr11 ah yeah I've seen that one before. It's a spam wordpress blog that pulls new articles from hackernews. It actually sent you a pingback. You can remove the pingback tag and still receive webmentions for now. Of course that isn't really solving the spam problem, just putting it off until later. See http://indiewebcamp.com/vouch for some thoughts on preventing the expected upcoming webmention spam.
