The new site project is getting so close! Working through webmentions support, responsive design on mobile, CI/CD, and tests. After that, it’s migration time! I have a decent backlog of future improvements, but they can wait. Ready to be free of PHP and MySQL 😄

For the first time in a long while I may actually turn on one of the 24 hour news channels so I can watch the city of Philadelphia go absolutely apeshit.

I applaud the Eagles for doing everything in their power to keep Harrison Butker’s dumb ass off the field.

You know how e-readers come with hideous fonts that are actually really good for legibility? That’s basically what this score bug is. Ugly, but it’s very easy to see.

I started Cyberpunk 2077, and it didn’t really pull me in. So, I’m trying out God of War, which looks amazing, but is pretty intense and dark. I’ll stick with it, but am really just killing time until Horizon: Forbidden West comes out on Steam in March.

I finished playing “Uncharted: The Lost Legacy” this week. I was skeptical that an Uncharted game would work without Nathan Drake. Boy, was I wrong. The story was compelling, the visuals absolutely stunning, and it provided just enough of a challenge.

Okay, I've also rolled out a bunch of visual tweaks and improvements to microgram. Users – you don't need to do anything to get all of the goodness. Thanks to all for the suggestions!

Similarly, Micro.blog users may have noticed issues with my microgram project, where photo grid pages wouldn't display some photos. This is caused by an upstream issue with Micro.blog and image thumbnails, and is being worked on!

I will still be syndicating reposts, but I'm going to be more diligent about only reposting content that I think is genuinely interesting and useful to share.
Note
I've decided to stop syndicating certain types of content to Micro.blog, including Checkins, Replies, and Likes, in favor of keeping those exclusively on my website.

I think it'll make for a more pleasant experience for my followers 👍🏻
Note
While I think a Gallery object would be nice, eventually, I am not convinced that its necessarily the best way to go here. Its my understanding that pretty much all Entities support attachments, so doing it in the near-term in a more cross-cutting way would enable any type of post created via Micropub that contains multiple attachments to elegantly display the images.

Dave Winer with an insightful post about Medium, and why its dangerous if left unchecked.

We can avoid this, it's not too late. You have a choice. Post your writing to places other than Medium. And when you see something that's interesting and not on Medium, give it some extra love. Push it to your friends. Like it on Facebook, RT it on Twitter. Give people more reasons to promote diversity on the web, not just in who we read, but who controls what we read.

I appreciate this perspective, but I think its even broader than that. Yes, Medium is dangerous if it becomes too dominant, but that's true of any silo. I don't have a problem with companies like Medium (or Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or any other silo) existing. I have a problem with a world in which those companies exist at the expense of data ownership, uniquness of expression, privacy, and freedom of speech.

Wouldn't it be great if for-profit companies put more effort into making it easy for customers to own their own data, rather than just making it easy for customers to give their own data to a third party?
