Extremely Online… Taylor Lorenz’s New Book Is Out!
It came with a thud on my front step. I had forgotten I ordered it to be honest. Taylor Lorenz’s new book on social media and influence online Extremely Online looks absolutely amazing. I’ve been a fan of Lorenz since she worked at the New York Times. Her coverage of social media and the Internet…

Well That’s Interesting… The Twenty Twenty-Four Theme Beta Won’t Run ON 4.3.1
I just tried to update the beta of the Twenty Twenty-Four theme from its Github repository only to be met with a fail message that I needed WordPress 4.2 to run it. I guess I’m waiting to update the theme until 4.2. It just seems stupid to have a beta out of a theme that’s…

Thinking About The Open Web
Apparently India assassinated a prominent Sikh Canadian activist on Canadian soil. Of course Canada is pissed. When Canadians went to Facebook to post about it, Facebook took their posts down because it went against Indian law. This is why we need decentralized social media. The centralized players have way too much power. With an open…

Mullenweg Needs To Act Better
Zack Katz, fellow WordPresser, wrote a great post in response to Automattic and WordPress Co-Founder Matt Mullenweg’s recent behavior. I don’t want to weigh in too much, nor do I want to rehash something that’s being rehashed everywhere. I do want to say is that Matt needs to watch what he says if he doesn’t…

The Idea Of My Blog Being Federated On The Fediverse
The idea of my blog being federated on the Fediverse and being able to have people follow the posts directly is really cool. I just wish I could figure out how to get the ActivityPub plug-in to work. Doh! 🥸
