For The Love Of The Web. Posting Publicly Is Going To Get Used In Some Way
Sam Cole over at 404 Media wrote an article about a Hugging Face Machine Learning Librarian making a public data set of 1 million Bluesky posts available to everyone for Machine Learning. People were of course outraged. Afterall it’s the Internet. People thrive on being outraged, pissed off, and otherwise salty. What people seem to…

Using The WordPress Block Editor For A Site Build… My Thoughts So Far
I’m creating a WordPress site for a client using the Block Editor, not a page builder. I can’t believe I’m brave enough. LOL It’s been eye-opening for a few different reasons: 1. It’s a whole new learning curve to figure out where to adjust things. 2. The design system differs from builders like Elementor and…

A Fun SEO Win
Not a hugely searched term in Google, but I come up in multiple locations for the term Philly Startup Advisor. It’s a one-pager setup on Carrd.co and isn’t even a .com. It’s a freaking .us! What I find interesting is that so much emphasis is put on the .com domain suffix and the fall of…

Post-Thanksgiving Capitalism Buying
I’m being pretty well behaved this post-Thanksgiving-Capitalism-Buying-Days time. I got a few needed things. But hardly anything that my ADHD wanted me to buy. Though, the season isn’t over and Cyber Monday is still coming! Argh! Wish me luck and wheel power! 😵💫😜🤣

Bluesky, Billionaires, And Dodo Birds
People say that Bluesky might turn into Twitter and be purchased by a billionaire I know Jay doesn’t want this to happen. And in theory it won’t due to the possibility of decentralization, but we’ve been burned multiple times. Shall we do it again? Sure, why not. 😵💫😜 I mean, until that happens Bluesky is…

Do You Pick Up Random Phone Calls?
Does anyone ever pick up random phone calls? I sure don’t. Because about 99% are spam. Heck most of the texts I get are spam too. So why would I pick up the phone and talk to a spammer if I could text with them. 🤣😵💫😒😎 Heck half the time I don’t pick up the…

Harper, A Grammar Checking Tool Was Purchased By Automattic
Okay the acquisition of Harper by Automattic (the parent company of WordPress.com) makes actual sense. Harper, a grammar checking tool, will hopefully be integrated into all of the Automattic and .org (here’s hoping) properties. Unlike some of the other acquisitions that Matt Mullenweg and Automattic have purchased (ie. Simplenote, Pocket Casts, and Tumbler) this makes…

You Know The Country Is Messed Up When You Can’t Tell What’s Satire And Reality
The Onion bought what’s left of Alex Jones’ Info Wars property. That’s great news. But what isn’t is Trump’s cabinet picks. They’re like something you’d read in the freaking onion. Ugh. And these people Trump picked aren’t just not qualified for the roles they are chose to fill, they have troubled pasts. Like AG-nominee Matt…
