Shutting the door after the horse has bolted. Covid booster this morning. Minimal queues👍
A good few years ago I bought an iRig Mic for making short podcasts at conferences and the like. It worked well for me. I’ve not got much of an ear or wallet for mikes. Last week I dug it out for my class to use in their podcast. It still works well enough for our needs.

One of my favourite things to do when insomnia strikes to read my ‘on this day’ page. 6 years ago I was involved in a podcast I’m particularly proud of.
This 5 year old post reminds me of one of the benefits of indieweb technology, the preservation of Twitter comments.
Well it looks like the save as draft in micro.blog works for WordPress blogs too. The get posted as drafts. I like that. I often write drafts that never get published. Writing some posts is cathartic but they do not need to be read.
Although the 7-day incidence rate of infection in Scotland began to increase during the COP26 summit, from 330 cases per 100,000 on 1 November to 389 cases per 100,000 on 13 November, this increase was primarily driven by rising cases among children between 5 and 11 years old. In the final week of COP26, case rates rose in the adult population aged 20 to 49 years old also, but stabilised and started to decline in the two weeks after COP26 alongside the rates amongst the younger age groups.
Interesting the increase in covid 19 during cop 26 was in primary aged children, not cop attendees.

This photo of rooftops in the Guardian is gorgeous. Quite hard to link directly to.
/wg/ - /stpg/ startpages
A startpage is the first thing you should see when you open your browser or create a new tab. Most modern browsers spin up their own “homepage”, Firefox presents you with the top sites you visit, a quick web search, and potentially some news updates.
Creating your own startpage has several advantages (as well as disadvantages) over using conventional homepages.
Looks like fun. HT Joe
