I wish I had known this before I got excited:-😟
Khürt, I absolutely get a lot of value from my micro.blog account. First of, this is a great community of bloggers, coders, amateur photographers and even one harpist. I’ve found this to be a great continuation of the community I found in app.net, which subsequently splintered into a few groups. ...
micro.blog is an interesting experiment in blog comments.
One of the things about micro.blog I continue to like is it makes me think about blogging in many diverse ways.
Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)I wonder what the outcome would be if the design process started with sustainability and developed from there?
Aaron, That would be wonderful, but I’d guess not good for Apple, or many other tech companies in the short term.
I knee-jerking a response here, I’ve used macs since my first computer in 1995.
Macs have been more sustainable for me than PCs for most folk I know. I don’t get a new one often and they have lasted me a long time.
I dislike the barriers to geekiness that are developing everywhere, both in hardware and, of more import to me, software. It seems harder to play around in an amateur way. Security stops scripts from less professional folk from working. Web APIs move out of reach or are shut down. (I exempt Flickrand OpenSteetMaps). I’d like to see more sustainability there too. Probably not going to.
The latest Openbeta email includes this quote from Czech author Milan Kundera – Everyone without exception bears a potential writer within him, so that the entire human species has good reason to go down into the streets and shout: we are all writers! One morning (and it will be soon), when everyo...
But we do not as yet lament, because we, the people who sit just outside the noisy streams of the walled gardens, know that the Internet is vast and needs more voices. Voices of those not heard till now, voices of those who can bring a fresh perspective. So no, Milan, there is hope as yet, and noise as yet to be made.

Greg McVerry (Quick Thoughts)@johnjohnston getting mad love in the #IndieWeb summit for all of his Flickr tools as we think about making trip tracking posts.
Thanks Greg, I presume the walkmaps. I have hope to build different views of these and eventually to bring them into WordPress in someway. What I like about flickr is that its API is easy for amateurs to play with. Amazing resource.
Now imagine, for a moment, an environment where a decentralized fabric of connected personal sites allows everyone to publish their own content but also enables each individual to engage in an open discussion – answering, challenging, and acknowledging the ideas of others through this universe of personal sites.
Comprehensive discussion of the ins and outs of running your own website from an IndieWeb perspective.
I’ve been dipping my toes into IndieWeb principles for the past few years I hope this is the direction the internet is going.
“Now this is very interesting, and I don't think at all obvious. Reading challenging texts aloud, and at a fast pace, improved the reading comprehension of all students, but for the lowest achievers, the gains were almost twice as great: https://t.co/TxJ1MZPI4X.”
I’ve noticed I do this less and less as there seems to be more and more you have to do each day. Need to make more time for reading to class next session.
If you read this blog, I am curious to see what other blogs you read / bloggers you follow. Do you publish your list of feeds somewhere, as a page, or as a OPML file? If not, would you be willing to send me an opml export from your feedreader? If not, can you post or comment your five recommended bl...
Ton, you might be interested in feedBase Dave Winers site for folk to share list of feeds. FWIW mine is johnjohnston’s subs. I’ve not put all the blogs I read in there but testing a selection.
