Then on to Morar, where Local Hero is partly filmed, on Camusdarach Beach.

At WordPress.com, we believe short thoughts deserve a real home. Today we\u2019re introducing a new theme built for quick posts, replies, and reblogs: the kind of writing that lives somewhere between a tweet and a blog post, on a site that\u2019s entirely yours.<\/p>\nfrom: A New Theme for Short-Form Blogging on WordPress.com \u2013 WordPress.com News<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A new setup on wordpress.com with front end posting, 500 char limit in their editor, but you can go past that if you use an alternative editor<\/a>, WordLand for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not clear to me if the features go with the theme, or there is a plugin I can’t see at work. I’ve only got a free WordPress.com account. It looks like you could change the theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course it would be interesting to see this on self hosted WordPress sites. I did experiment with a telex block that gave simple short form posting<\/a>. Not quite in a popup, but could be useful on mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update: Manton has some thoughts: Manton Reece – WordPress short-form interface<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, the ones without ads are mostly out on the long tail, but what matters is that anybody can podcast on the Net, just like anybody can publish there. RSS\u2014really simple syndication\u2014gives all of us scale. This is, as Kurt Vonnegut once said , a miracle on the order of loaves and fish.

I’ve not posted a set of links for a while, keep saving them, but retired life is busier than I thought it would be. I am prompted by this newletter post:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Own Your Web \u2013 Issue 18: Curators<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

So every time you share a link on your blog, every time you write a few sentences about why someone else\u2019s work matters to you, every time you add a new entry to a blogroll or a links page \u2013 you are a curator. You are doing what no algorithm can do. You\u2019re saying: I am a person. I read this. I think you should read it too.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

There is a good selection of links to link curators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not sure when I subscribed to Own Your Web<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Own Your Web is a newsletter by Matthias Ott about designing, building, creating, and publishing for and on the Web.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But it is great. There is an RSS feed<\/a> too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TACO Tracker: Every Time Trump Chickens Out<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Trump won’t stop chickening out. We won’t stop tracking it<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

One of the more amusing uses of AI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Via brad<\/a> who has the Indieseek.xyz Indie Web Directory<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Indieseek.xyz is a small human curated, searchable, directory of web links to both websites and to individual web pages. We try and list pages that are informative, fun, classic and useful<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Link Punk: A Linkblog<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Just a linkblog, mainly for articles and individual blog posts that I find and want to share. I think of this as me being a DJ only playing articles rather than songs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Brad also post funny political thoughts most days on mastodon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Another great source of links is Joe Jennet
i.webthings hub<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Welcome to the hub of i.webthings, an independent, noncommercial web initiative<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Joe credits where he finds his links which can lead to some other interesting directories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commonplace<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Commonplace is a self-hosted, federated link-collection manager. You can create curated collections of links and share them with followers across both the Fediverse (Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc.) and Bluesky \u2014 without creating new accounts on either network<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Created by Doug Belshaw<\/a>. And changing quickly. I am logged on via indieAuth, which is nice. I’ve created a few collections, the largest so far is AI Reading<\/a>. It is always interesting to try out new pieces of software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commonplace allows sharing collections, suggestions and replies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commonplace now has a bookmarklet, which is for me essential. It grabs an image and description via open graph (I’d guess) to give a description. You can edit this and add curators notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve used a bunch of link collectors over the year, delicious, pinboard<\/a>, locally in the drafts app, on my site and a few more. I’ve not used pinboard much in the last few years. I feel a bit guilty about not updating my lifetime sub when pinboard changed to annual fees. Life-timers like myself could upgrade to a yearly fee. I didn’t. I mostly use drafts in a fairly disorganised way. At the very least commonplace is giving me the chance to think a bit about my link collection & sharing. It is also interesting to watch the development, as Doug is AI coding the site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Here is an ‘real’ teaching and learning link. I’ve been doing the odd bit of supply and wonder if I should give this a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

micro:bit CreateAI<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

micro:bit CreateAI is a free, web-based tool that makes it easy for students to explore AI through movement and machine learning (ML).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use micro:bit CreateAI to train an ML model and then run it on your BBC micro:bit V2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
