I rather feel like headplanting in the sand until the din and blabber (not the fun kind) of endless takes and broad claims of Twitter demise, Fediversitopia subsides. Oh I have something maybe to say, but I’d rather build stuff and tinker that toss sermons. Out of curiosity and exploration and something of a refreshing […]
Cue the music. Baddddum. Baddddum… Pinging Martin Welller… It’s been a while (maybe 6 weeks but that’s like 2 eons in blog years) since I last blabbed about the bad smell or worse or just missing items in Google Image’s Creative Commons License search. Danny Sullivan, who I believe works for Google as a “search […]
For re-refreshing change from the ever increasing Twitter fallout drama and the rising wave of AI euphoria, I was granted a reprieve last week where I got to catchup with an old friend, yes, that Blabberize talking alpaca. Alas, we could not help but slip into the musky drama of the Now. Our connection traces […]
I am not sure if what I am going to describe is some kind of condition or diagnosis (or just weird). I have a pretty good recall for landscapes or places I have seen. They seem to register in my brain more efficiently than location of car keys and missing wrenches. A few block clicks […]
My last long winded nerdy post on image accessibility veered far off the path of possible interest from anyone (or maybe everyone is too busy trying to sort out their move to Mastodon). The thing is, my brain is not done with this. Most of the things I whinged on depended on systems, tools to […]
Amongst all the Twitter upheaval spawned by he who shall remain nameless and its effect as rapid increase in Mastodon as a federated platform that should withstand those kinds of despots, a rather telling difference to me is in what we, the sighted people, never see– alternative text descriptions for images. I wanted to write […]
Please Steven Johnson, take my blog post and remixed photo as an honor and tribute to your book (which I have purchased, read, and scribbled notes in the margin). Most great ideas first take shape in a partial, incomplete form. They have the seeds of something profound, but they lack a key element that can […]
Not that I am setting any goals here but can I keep pace? Just writing this creates the potential of expectations. But this is my gig space alone. And once more, a small nugget of example what hoisting content on your own platform, your own domain, creates unexpected potential for the wonderfully unexpected. (And curses […]
The fun thing about Mastodonning is that it is all new again. I worry much about what I see as a lot of effort to just transport the Twitter mindset there. Think differently, build a new. As a small experiment, I am testing the WordPress Auto Post to Mastodon plugin to toot out new posts […]
In my ongoing stream of “how can twitter be that awful when this happens daily”, I present the case of a geological cross section that yanked me far down the web rabbit hole. My primary view into “bird space” (frankly that masto-term has as much goofiness as “toots”) is a Tweetdeck list, old school chronological […]
