Jan 27, 2020, 6:47 PM -05:00 Territory Acknowledgements
I am writing this on the traditional and present homeland of the L’nui Mnikuk and Epekwitk First Nations. Under the Peace and Friendship Treaties, this territory – as part of Mi’kma’ki – was never surrendered, and is still Mi’kmaq land. Ton, you asked “what was the import” of the paragraph like that in my last post, the one about the garden. Short answer, it’s a territory acknowledgement. It’s a thing that’s become common in Canada at the beginning of a meeting or ceremony, to show our... -

That's probably a good way to think about it. Or at least about establishing an alternative.

@desmondrivet Hi Desmond, I think of the IndieWeb as being less about "knocking Facebook off its perch" and more about establishing a resistance movement. -

This looks good! But why do you have four identical photos?

📸 A section of the D&R Canal State Park trail between Rocky Hill and Kington has a tunnel that runs under Route 27/Main Street on the border with Kingston and Princeton. A few years ago I walked this section of the park as part of a longer walk from Griggstown in Franklin Township. I remember that the first time I saw this tunnel it felt a bit spooky when seen from a certain angle. One cannot see into the tunnel which, due to its length appears cavernous, and which makes disconcerting noises... -

Dark clouds with wisps of sky barely visible between them, one of them making a tilted V, over a yellow orange horizon from the recent sunset behind the Pacific Ocean, waves crashing, leaving a smooth wet sandy shore with a mirror image reflection of the bright horizon, and a negative space letter T from the reflected wisps of sky surrounded by dark clouds Walk on the beach at sunset, another item crossed off a list. Cracks between dark clouds let the light in, painting single letters separat... -

This whole thread is awesome. I remember reading someone's fantasy Superman scene somewhere and it involving him on a mountaintop listening to the entire world in danger, in anguish over who to save first.

Take on Superman I think would work well in live-action: Explore his hyperawareness. Delve into the nerves living in a world of cardboard might give a person. Explore the feeling of being able to hear people in peril all the time and never being able to do enough. -

Aww, no love for @getpelican? I guess it's really only a thing if you already like Python :) It's my blog engine of choice these days though I'm considering switching to @gatsbyjs.

What's everyone using for blogging these days? I'm particularly interested in solutions beyond WP and (gasp) commenting. -
Jan 9, 2020, 6:17 PM -05:00 It's 2020 so I decided to join the 2010's and replace my desktop hard drive with an SSD. Pretty easy, mostly due to Clonezilla. It's...nice. I should probably shake things up more often.

Thank you! The link should work now :-)
Jan 5, 2020, 5:02 PM -05:00Thanks for the write-up on the Indieweb principles Desmond. Looking forward to the other posts in the series. I did notice that the initial link to your previous post is not working. It seems the URL is wrong. Shouldn't it be this: https://desmondrivet.com/2019/12/08/intro-to-indie-web ? -

Jan 5, 2020, 11:06 AM -05:00 Your Website Is Your Castle
In a previous blog post, I gave a very brief introduction to the IndieWeb, hopefully giving a sense of what it is and why it matters. In this post I'll try and zoom in a tiny bit and explain something of the mechanics of how the IndieWeb actually works and what it means to "like" a post or "share" a status update.
I'm deliberately trying to avoid too much detail in this post because, frankly, there's a lot to write, and it's easy to get lost. So I'm going to try and give a rough idea of what an IndieWeb enabled website looks like at a very high level, without going into the weeds. Further posts will go into more detail.
