Congrats to Grant on Together v3! We’ve moved out of my GitHub namespace into a new organization. When Grant and I came up with Together back at IWS a few years ago, I had no idea it would get so far, so fast. Proud to have played a small part! - https://grant.codes/2019/07/08/together

Stranger Things season three was fantastic, as I expected. A step back up from season two!

Having a relaxing dinner with my family at a local bar, watching the USMNT, before I head to the east coast for the week for work. Soaking up the joy.

The words “war on men” were uttered at my barbershop today, and my eyes nearly rolled out of my head. #NoSuchThing

I’d also like to heap some praise on Tom Holland, who absolutely nails the spirit of Peter Parker. He’s now the canonical Parker in my head-canon, and that’s saying a lot!

Spider-Man: Far From Home was delightful. My favorite comic book hero from my youth is *finally* getting treatment that he deserves. Gyllenhaal was excellent as Mysterio, and the mid- and post-credit scenes make me excited for the next phase of the MCU.

Changed my “following” page today to make it more useful for the average person. Now, when you tap/click on one of my subscription links, you get a rich preview of the feed. https://cleverdevil.io/following

After a conversation over drinks at IndieWeb Summit, I am re-reading Y: The Last Man, and have realized that I never finished the entire series the first time around. Such a great graphic novel! /cc @atmlutter

Going to the local drive-in theater tonight to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off with the family. #SaveFerris 🎥🚗

Watching Avengers: Infinity War with the kids today in preparation for Spider-Man: Far From Home on Saturday. They’ll have to catch up on Endgame with a verbal recap 😉

Ooh, July 4th earthquake! #SoCalLife

What is broken about email?

1. Anyone can insert into your inbox.
2. Email clients are essentially web browsers. That's bad. Tracking / security issues abound.
3. Encryption is optional and maddeningly complex.
4. Email hosting is a oligopoly.

Oh, there's more...

This is an atypically good response to a complex issue. Also – email is fundamentally, systematically broken, and innovation is happening around the edges. I'd like to see someone tackle the core issues in an open way (protocols, standards, etc.)

My family asked if they could foster a dog for the week. I reluctantly said it was OK as long as they promised that they wouldn’t get attached. I just fired up Netflix, and guess who has a profile on our account now? #FosterDogNetflixProfiles

See you later, Portland! It was a blast hanging out with friends old and new at the IndieWeb Summit. I’m hoping to write a recap on my flight! Thanks Delta for the upgrade 😍

Enjoying a George T. Stagg like a boss.

Making great progress on my first project for IndieWeb Summit hack day. Always gratifying to actually finish something.

Meeting with the Known Open Collective! Its a small, but awesome community. Discussing how to evolve the Known platform for the next generation of the IndieWeb.

Amazing dinner with IndieWeb friends at Jackrabbit in Portland. Wonderful food and even better company.
