After IndieWebCamp San Diego this weekend, I’m thinking more about making it easier to post to my website using handwritten text. Index cards are particularly useful for short notes and status updates for this.

IndieWebCamp San Diego 2023-12-17
My goal for the day 2 at camp is to get my site set up so that I can type a post and with a quick photo send it to my website as a post there. As a reach goal, I’d also like to get alt-text working as well for accessibility. I’m hoping I can leverage some of my prior work on posting handwritten posts to get this all done. #IndieWeb #FTW

RSVPed Attending IndieWebCamp San Diego 2023The first annual IndieWebCamp San Diego is scheduled for December 16 and 17th! The venue will be the Blackmarket Bakery (until 4pm). They have a nice fenced in courtyard of good size with several table sizes, shade, power, etc. and is centrally located in San Diego, CA with easy access to transportation and other amenities.
This looks like a great weekend coming up. Can’t wait to see everyone in person.

I’ve been looking over Mike Hoerger’s Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative - Data Tracker which estimates and projects daily new COVID cases in the US based on wastewater levels. I think it’s pretty accessible and makes it more obvious how risky it actually is out there.
From the 2023-12-04 report, we’re at an estimated 1.2 million new cases per day. About 1 in 38 people are infectious. In a group of 10 people, there’s a 23% chance anyone is infectious. This is more transmission than during 88.9% of the pandemic. The data tracker link above has a video where he explains the methodology for these numbers.
Wastewater levels are rising as we head into yet another winter surge even earlier this year. Let’s keep each other safe out there by wearing well-fitting respirators, filtering the air, improving ventilation, and staying up to date with our vaccines. 😷💚

I think it\u2019s pretty accessible and makes it more obvious how risky it actually is out there.</p>\n\n<p>From the <a href=\"https://www.pmc19.com/data/PMC_Report_Dec4_2023.pdf\">2023-12-04 report</a>, we\u2019re at an estimated 1.2 million new cases per day. About 1 in 38 people are infectious. In a group of 10 people, there\u2019s a 23% chance anyone is infectious. This is more transmission than during 88.9% of the pandemic. The data tracker link above has a video where he explains the methodology for these numbers.</p>\n\n<p>Wastewater levels are rising as we head into yet another winter surge even earlier this year. Let\u2019s keep each other safe out there by wearing well-fitting respirators, filtering the air, improving ventilation, and staying up to date with our vaccines. \ud83d\ude37\ud83d\udc9a</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://gregorlove.com/site/assets/files/6639/forecast120423.png\" title=\"Click to view full size\"></a>\n\n<p>Image from: Hoerger, M.
