New post on The Digital Renaissance: Music Blog Challenge

I’m the guest on the latest Hanselminutes podcast! It was great talking to Scott. We covered a lot in just half an hour: blogging, domain names, social networks, the fediverse, POSSE, discovery, and the Micro.one launch.
This one's for my #indieweb power-nerds and fellow #slashpage enthusiasts. Today I debut my "/Story" - the story of my website, told through my /slash pages. (Incredibly meta right?!). As one would hope, it can be reached at /story on my site (though it redirects to a section on my /slashes page)
The idea behind the "Slash Story" is to describe your site as succinctly as possible while linking to all the various slash pages and other portions of your site throughout. This is my first go at it.

7 days till release....
I'll likely do some touch-ups to the blog during this week. I did it kind of like how they release movies, where they start releasing teasers only _after_ they've 100% finished the movie. I've been working non-stop for 2.5 weeks, so this is an unexpected reprieve...giving myself a designated time to slow down.

Progress update on the Omnibear Micropub Extension! This is the first post using a WIP version compatible with Chrome’s manifest V3 requirements! It’s also the first post on my site using the extension.
There is still lost to do. [Not] shockingly, rewriting all the state management in the codebase lead to lots of bugs to clean up. But things are moving forward. The domain and GitHub repos have all been transferred. When I get things more cleaned up I plan on sharing some prereleases for people to try. Stay tuned!
How I got my #thinkpad. A story of bargaining for laptops and lessons learned:

...this was exhausting...but...IT'S DONE.
And so begins the countdown to the official public release of my #blog. A crazy promise fulfilled.... It'll start tomorrow, and each day I'll post a small snippet of the first artwork I've posted on it. To kick things off, I'll give you a BIG snippet!
