at a fascinating #Threads meetup hosted by Meta in San Francisco, with a handful of great #dataportability #fediverse #indieweb #openweb folks, learning about and providing feedback to Threads folks about their #federation #ActivityPub and other #openStandards support plans.

I want to attend, but it’s early Pacific time so might not make it. It says it will be recorded, though, so hopefully available afterwards.

@fromjason@mastodon.social Hi, yes, hello, the line “the web that screamed in horror when summoned through a land line” in the footer of your site is fantastic.

I don’t post about it often, but I maintain indiebookclub, an app to help track books you’re reading on your own website. I just set up a new feature for it, a year in review page: indiebookclub.biz/review/2023

I took the high speed train from Miami to Orlando and I am convinced we need more of this! https://aaronparecki.com/2023/12/01/18/riding-brightline-train-miami-orlando

Riding the High-Speed Brightline Train from Miami to Orlando

It was 11am at the Fort Lauderdale airport, an hour after my non-stop flight to Portland was supposed to have boarded. As I had been watching our estimated departure get pushed back in 15 minute increments, I finally received the dreaded news over the loudspeaker - the flight was cancelled entirely. As hordes of people started lining up to rebook their flights with the gate agent, I found a quiet spot in the corner and opened up my laptop to look at my options.

Solar power: How’d I do?

Official Orlando departure announcement from the captain:

"The forecast in Portland is about the same as here except it's cold and windy and rainy"

Final Bandcamp Friday of 2023!

welp, managed to go a whole year without a major airline snafu until my last work trip of the year. Flight from Miami to Portland was cancelled, and all the other options from Miami were bad. So I'm taking the Brightline train to Orlando and getting on a direct flight to Portland tonight!

Alright, Geico is frustrating me to no end. They 110% do not let you get to talk to a human on the phone and their site doesn't tell me anything about my pending auto policy. Anyone have better auto insurance recommendations for California?
