A couple of new WordLand Links: First Drafting – Doc Searls Weblog & Joho the Blog » Trying out WordLand for blogging the second says:
It’s a web page that clears out all of WordPress’s cruft and gives you an interface that’s so simple that it’s actually enjoyable.

especially if … Dave Winer, … lets us add tags. I am irrationally committed to tagging
I like tags too.

Metrological spring evening in Victoria Park; a storm toppled tree still blossoms; the first frog spawn in the small pond; feels like there might be frost tonight.
The sound of shouting from the T.V. news woke me from my post work sofa nap. Shocking. Reading the micro.blog timeline, I am encouraged by the reaction @bradenslen, @WiredDifferently, @numericcitizen and many more Americans.
It was quite sunny yesterday as I left work. Watched this tree bumblebee going around the crocus.
Read The Drop & The List by Mick Herron ★★★★☆ 📚
I enjoyed these more than most of his books, and they fill in some backstory to the slow horses.
Read: Half of a Yellow Sun: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ★★★★★ 📚
First half about fairly privileged folk, second half how the horror of Biafran war played out.
Everything was moving so fast. He was not living his life; life was living him.

WordLand is where we start to boot up a simple social net using only RSS as the protocol connecting users. Rather than wait for ActivityPub and AT Proto to get their acts together. I think we can do it with feeds and start off with immediate interop without the complexity of federation. I call it the feediverse. It’s not a joke, although it may incite a smile and a giggle. And that’s ok

Feediverse, what is not to like! WordLand, I’ve tested for a while. Something like that might be a good fit for Glow Blogs. A simple posting interface for busy teachers. See also pootlewriter.
Warm sunny, for February, day. River running brown and high. I spent a few minutes sitting, watching a kingfisher across the river. Dived a few times and came up lucky a couple. One wee fish took a bit of subduing and was bashed off a branch a few times.
