Leche Desserts makes me happy
Lifestream
My lifestream feed is probably best understood as an extended version of my blog, a combined feed of notes, articles, photos and videos, but without all the replies, likes and reposts that can sometimes add unwanted noise to an IndieWeb site.
My entire feed is available as well.

Feb 12, 2020, 10:27 PM -05:00 Your Website Is Your Passport
One of the themes that crops up again and again in the IndieWeb community is that your personal domain, with its attendant website, should form the nexus of your online existence. Of course, people can and do maintain separate profiles on a variety of social media platforms, but these should be subordinate to the identity represented by your personal website, which remains everyone's one-stop-shop for all things you and the central hub out of which your other identities radiate.
Part of what this means in practice is that your domain should function as a kind of universal online passport, allowing you to sign in to various services and applications simply by entering your personal URL.

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.

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.

Dec 8, 2019, 12:46 PM -05:00 In the Beginning Was the Website
I don't think I've ever felt quite as old as I felt when, last year, I discovered the IndieWeb, an online community of people dedicated to resurrecting the personal website.
This makes me feel old because I've maintained some sort of personal web presence/site/blog since around 1998 or so, when I made my first hand-coded HTML pages available online at U of T. Apparently, enough time has past not only for the concept of a "personal website" to have become quaint and old-fashioned (displaced by a cluster of much more convenient social media sites) but also for it to have been picked up again by an enthusiastic band of hobbyists with a taste for the retro and a fondness for old-school fan pages.

Nov 28, 2019, 1:19 PM -05:00 #MarcellaHazan 's famous (infamous?) tomato, butter and onion sauce is actually a surprisingly good, rich sauce, considering what went into it - four ingredients, including the salt. No garlic, no basil, no olive oil.

Nov 27, 2019, 11:46 PM -05:00 This is Marcella Hazan's "Famous tomato sauce" , in progress. Only four ingredients: tomatoes, butter, sky, onion. You don't even chop the onion. I will give a full report.
