The third ever IndieWebCamp San Diego with two days of independent open distributed web talks, breakouts, and hack sessions. Bring your website or setup a new domain on the spot.This has been one of my favorite events for the past two years, and after a rough 2025, this is a great way to cap off the year.
Even better, Tantek has already suggested a session on card catalogs that’s right up my alley: https://indieweb.org/2025/SD#Session_ideas.
Purity Ring last night was such a good show and refreshing in multiple ways. The production was awesome, with several spinning LED “fans” that showed video, making the video look like it’s hanging in the air in the space around them. There were several of those in front of and behind them, plus a large screen at the back of the stage, so it was a really cool 3D effect. Photos don’t quite do it justice since they pause the spinning, but they still came out pretty cool.
I was also excited for this show because the band requested fans wear a respirator mask and provided them if anyone needed them. I was even more impressed when I learned that they invited mask blocs from each city to table at the event, so my Fan Favorite SD buddies were there and I got to meet a few new people!
The band talked about it briefly, thanking everyone who masked and stressing its importance as an act of community care. 💛😷
