I just figured out (i.e., read in a book because documentation on the web was failing me) that the h- prefix in hCard in #microformats (now h-card in #microformats2) stands for HTML — i.e., an HTML analogue to vCards — and things are starting to click. #indieweb
I just got a shipping notification that my now 7 month old order from the most prolific artist of all time, #SteveKeene, is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday. Can’t wait to see what I get. And if you don’t know, he’s the person behind Pavement’s Wowee Zowee cover and so much more. This is a good intro. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/curiosities/the-sk-steve-keene-art-book-live-from-subliminal-projects
I finally have #webmentions working on my #indieweb site, and have added #microformats to posts.
DJ: cue Tony! Toni! Toné!, Feels Good.
I wrote up something quick and easy about keeping favicon files tidy in their own folder and passing them through to root with #eleventy.

Upcoming:
* Tag-specific RSS feeds (e.g., tag items with "dev" and set up a feed for dev.to to jumpstart for POSSE cross posts)
* Consuming and doing things with fediverse feeds, e.g., your #Mastodon or #Bookwyrm posts on your own site
Just be warned that the volume is very low on the digital version, but you'll want to turn it up regardless.
My #bandcampFriday recommendation #2 for fans of #lofi #indieRock:
My album of the year for 2021, Where do You See Yourself in Five Years? by SLONK like you've worn it out 5 times already and happily bought 10 more copies for friends. How can something so instantly familiar be so good? At once joyful and bleakly honest about modern life, SLONK can sound like Cap'N Jazz playing Archers of Loaf with a British accent, but that doesn't do Joe Sherrin the justice he deserves. https://slonk.bandcamp.com/album/where-do-you-see-yourself-in-five-years-lp
My #bandcampFriday recommendation #1 for fans of #lofi #indieRock:
Kleenex Girl Wonder, November Brain. The result of Graham doing a music residency and forcing himself to write an album's worth of songs every week. I reckon this is a best of from that project, and I think it proves that art thrives through constraints. Imagine Mountain Goats covering Guided by Voices … or something like that.
"Come on, Baby Grace, don't hit me in the face now!" #bostonSpaceships #robertPollard #guidedByVoices
I joined indieweb.social and immediately felt like a fraud as I hadn't touched my personal site in ages.
I dug into it, broke a bunch of things, relearned things I'd forgotten, and rekindled some old joys. It's not ready for primetime, but it's getting there.
Now it's spilling over into my actual job and I'm doing fun things with code that I haven't done in months.
That's a big win.
The best walking music is the Cool Greenhouse by the Cool Greenhouse (your new favorite least favorite band).

I make websites and draw cartoons for my kids and my co-workers. I love #indieComics and obsessively collect #guidedByVoices related vinyl. I used to teach Latin in public schools. Still a union worker. #indieRock #webdev #cartoonist #indieweb #fedi22 #secularHumanist #atheist
