The latest #indieweb carnival topic got me thinking about burnout, inspiration and play. Also a drawing of a tiger:

Long live hypertext! – Tracy Durnell’s Mind Garden

This is how I write:

As an online writer, my philosophy is link maximalism; links add another layer to my writing, whether I’m linking to an expansion of a particular idea or another person’s take, providing evidence or citation, or making a joke by juxtaposing text and target. Links reveal personality as much as the text. Linking allows us to stretch our ideas, embedding complexity, acknowledging ambiguity, holding contradictions.

So I made a #BearBlog.

It's called, Web 3.0 Slept With My Wife.

Why? I don't know, man. Why are you asking so many questions.

Anyway, I intend to write short notes about the future of the web. There's a first post up but it's probably not representative of the tone I'll carry through the rest of the way. I want to get weird. We'll see.

This is your irregular reminder to use #WebMention as much as possible.

How I Built My Blog

Really, it’s just WordPress1 + IndieBlocks with most settings enabled. That’s kind of it2. I know. Controversial, eh? ↩︎That exact stack, plus a so-called block theme, would give you a “note” post type, “full” microformats2 support, and Webmention. (And then some. Also, the block theme’s optional, but then you’d have to do with, uh, “less […]

Just trying to get Bridgy to post to Bluesky #indieweb

There'll be a new song coming out next month too. I'll probably mention it here (but other links are available on the page, including an updated RSS feed).

Coming home | A Working Library

While one of the reasons oft declared for using POSSE is the ability to own your content, I’m less interested in ownership than I am in context. Writing on my own site has very different affordances: I’m not typing into a little box, but writing in a text file. I’m not surrounded by other people’s thinking, but located within my own body of work. As I played with setting this up, I could immediately feel how that would change the kinds of things I would say, and it felt good. Really good. Like putting on a favorite t-shirt, or coming home to my solid, quiet house after a long time away.

Mandy’s writing positively soars and sings in this beautiful piece!

📝 New Post: A Social Web

Campaigns taking advantage of the spirit of the web don't sit right with me.

Setting up a new Hugo website for myself, very different from my current "traditional" blog site. Planning to write more regularly there than I write at the moment, about all sorts of things, not just research (ie it'll be a digital garden style, week-notes website, not a work portfolio). Unsure what to do about comments. Should I manage comments on my site? Should I just post links to Mastodon for feedback/conversation? Do you have advice/experiences to share?

@reillypascal …or even perhaps a fun #IndieWeb experiment. Like a twist on the #IndieWebCarnival where a website gets built on a floppy, physically mailed between contributors adding posts and building on the website like some twisted email chain letter, then returned to the organiser that hosts it somehow. I like the idea that the ~1.2mb storage capacity would force changes to content and styles to keep things performant. 🤔 // paging @artlung @capjamesg@indieweb.social

Can you capture the flag on my #website? I made the consent banner extra hard to close…

@htmldecoder That looks great! And from some of the comments on Mastodon about the complexities and difficulties learning ChakraUI, you could probably do well teaching a series about it on your site. Got yourself a new follower because I am digging #indieweb.

In a scenario where complicated US regulation forces small, independent platforms (like Mastodon instances) to migrate to Meta infrastructure, we lose the #indieweb.

The US government has historically monopolized critical infrastructure. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 gave us Comcast.

We are seeing it again with KOSA and Meta pivoting to cloud services.
