    Networking Event Tonight But...

    I’m supposed to go to a networking event down by the stadiums in Philly today. Right now it’s absolutely sunny out. But there’s a threat of strong storms. So not sure what the fuck my plan is. I want to get out and network and grow …

    You Know You Can Block People And Platforms...

    I get the concerns that people are having with Bluesky letting the right-wing onto the service. But if you don’t like it block those people and use filters.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Happy Father’s Day To All The Dads and “Like-a-Dads” out there!

    Israel bombs Iran. Iran bombs Israel. Seriously… WTAF. This World is going to shit!

    And at home a Man-baby FOTUS is having a big military parade like the Tyrant he is.

    #NoKings Protest

    I wish I had made the #NoKings Protest in Philadelphia or at least in Doylestown.

    Saturdays are tough because my wife works on Saturdays and even though the kiddo is 12 and can stay alone, I just don’t feel comfortable protesting with him …

    Not caring so much!

    Learning something about myself. I care to much. And in a world where there isn’t enough caring, I need to realize that sometimes I need to let go and just be. That I can’t solve every problem and shit is going to break. Stuff isn’t …

    Gaza/Israel/Netanyahu

    What the Israeli government is doing in Gaza is down-right genocidal.

    I don’t equate being Jewish to supporting the Israeli government and what they are doing in Gaza. And people shouldn’t equate Jews necessarily with what’s going …

    The Fediforum Rocks!

    The Fediforum ended yesterday, but the magic is still alive. Let’s keep it going!

    Thanks to the organizers for getting it off the ground (even if it was take 2).

    I think it’s one of the best online conferences (well the only unconference …

    Why are Fridays so fucking insane. They aren’t always, but today is off-the-rails nuts!

    Getting a site ready to launch, Fediforum, guesting on a podcast, and hosting an in-person networking event.

    Oh geez!

    Wish me luck.

    Great take on the federated social web from the guys at WeDestribute.org

    Surf.Social and Channel.org

    Surf.social is a great service so is Channel.org. I can see how they can interoperate too. What I think Channel.org has over Surf.social is a website/Web App that people can build channels on via their computers and aren’t stuck using a mobile …

    Sitting at my desk is probably the worst thing I can do for my health. Granted I need to move my body more and go for walks, but standing at my desk is better than sitting. That’s for sure!

    I find this so weird. I don’t have much of a problem going to events and being extroverted but when it comes to Zoom calls, I always dread them until I’m on them, then I’m fine.

    Strange.

    My trigger finger is acting up. YUCK YUCK YUCK

    Man, my trigger finger (not a gun reference) is really acting up right now.

    Ugh. Hard to write. Glad it doesn’t effect my typing. …

    Cover Songs Better The Original Sometimes

    Kind of neat when you listen to a cover of a song and really like it but you don’t know who the real artist. Then you listen to the original and the cover is better. LOL

    Terror Attack in Boulder Colorado (Antisemitism + Terror)

    So freaking scared and sad about the terror attack in Boulder.

    Dan Kennedy has a great write up of how local news outlets are covering the attack.

    I went to social after hearing about this attack and had to search for …

    Mailer Lite keeps warning me that my 445 subs are 80% of my plan allotment. Hey guys I’m aware. Get in touch with me when I’m at 99% then we’ll talk about an increase. LOL

    One of those days. Tummy doesn’t like me much. Damn Mounjaro! But it’s needed so I put up with the tummy aches in the AM.

    What’s so strange is that they subside almost all the time by noon. So strange.

    Poor Olive had a belly ache. Only thing she would eat was yams and tilapia.

    Her kibble and wet food weren’t good enough for this princess.
