The More Corporate, Big Social Media Acts Poorly, The Better The Fediverse Becomes
Reddit is acting poorly and being draconian with their API access for 3rd party developers. YouTube announced that it won’t quash misinformation on its platform anymore. Facebook is… well… just evil. With all of these big social sites acting badly the fediverse and the plethera of alternatives are looking better to the average user. I’m…

WordCamp US 2023 Here I Come!
It’s been since 2016 that I’ve attended a WordCamp US event. I’ve been to local WordCamps but none as fun, vibrant and energizing as a WordCamp US event. The last one I went to was the second-ever WordCamp US which was at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. It was there in 2015 as well…

Eagles… Super Bowl… Let’s Do This!
Very excited. The Philadelphia Eagles beat the San Francisco 49ers last night to clinch the NFC championship. They’re off to the big game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now don’t get any ideas that I’m a football, or for that matter, a sports fan. I’m not. But I am a Philadelphia fan. And this is…

A True Newscasting Legend Retires!
Growing up in the Philadelphia area, you’d be had pressed not to know who this guy is. Jim Gardner anchored the 6 and 11pm news on 6 ABC News for so many years. 45 years total at the station. So many of us in the 80’s and 90’s, before cable, would watch the news anchored…

Own The Platform
If you don’t own your presence online, what is happening over at Twitter can happen to you. You’re site can be taken down without any warning and you’re pretty much SOL. Mastodon and the Fediverse as a whole is great this way. Even if you don’t own the instance, you can move your followers to…

The Fediverse Is Coming Into Its Own
The demise of Twitter as we know it is upon us. Elon Musk is burning down the Twittersphere while sitting at his desk inside. Is he insane? Absolutely. Does he know what he’s doing? No. Does he give a shit? Nope! People are fleeing to the fediverse, the open network of social platforms that are…

To Vermont I Go
I’m finally getting a chance to take a solo trip. Albeit to visit my parents at their home in Weston, VT. Still it’s going to give me a brief break from the craziness at home. Aside from the 5+ hour drive to get there, I seriously can’t wait. I’ll post photos from my travels when…
