I just noticed that my Hypothes.is account has passed the 10,000 annotations mark.
Hi Chris,
10,000 I sub to the RSS feed! Not necessarily calming, but an amazing source of serendipity. Much appreciated.
And the documentation to get started https://makecode.com/writing-docs/tutorials
Brian, that is very cool. Pasting an example markdown from github into the editor looks like a good way to figure it out.
I have been lazy in not getting into the IndieWeb game here, but look who is catching up!
CogDog getting into the IndieWeb, what’s not to like.
So, ds106.club is now loading securely over https, not that anyone would notice or care but me. I like tinkering on small, zero-priority sites because they allow me to figure stuff out without any repercussions if things go wrong.
Hi Jim,
Someone would notice & care;-) I log on to the club once every year or so. Just fixed a couple of http references to https. I still wonder if the tilde environment would make a good place to run a ds106 course.
It is also a good tinkering place.
My response: WHO CARES! I started two podcasts (Convocast and Thinking About Tools For Thought) without any media empire support. Did I make any money? No, but that wasn’t why I created those podcasts. I did it for fun and to share information/perspectives with others.
I’ve podcasted both for fun and as an learning experience for my pupils. This rings true.
In Search of One Last Song
In Search of One Last Song: Britain’s disappearing birds and the people trying to save them Patrick Galbraith ★★★☆☆
The author’s meeting with a cross section of folk working in bird conservation, talking about the birds they love. Not the usual conservation suspects, but farmers and keepers along with poets and RSPB types. The subjects sometimes had very differing opinions from each other. They also often differ and argue against the usual conservation narrative. This made for interesting reading.
Reading this in short bursts rather than a few longer sittings I was sometime confused by jumps between different conversations and subject. Each voice appeared and left without out much of a formal introduction & conclusion.
Thanks to 4th Estate & William Collins and NetGalley for this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

The Biggies had a bit of fun thinking about what that would do if they were good or bad rulers. Making graphics with layers, transparency, copyright free images, clip art an their own photos.

A Visit from the Goon Squad – Jennifer Egan ★★★☆☆ 📚 one to re-read when I am reading in larger chunks. Fragmented tales across time and characters had me a mite confused.
Chris Aldrich (boffosocko.com)The IndieWeb is attempting to remove these barriers, many of them complicated, but not insurmountable, technical ones, so that we can have a healthier set of direct interactions with one another
This is a lovely essay on the IndieWeb. Too many quotable sentences:
Venture capital backed corporate social media has cleverly inserted themselves between us and our interactions with each other.
