Today, I took some time out of processing the loss of my dad to do some nerdy tech stuff with OpenMentions and WebMention sources. I was interested in which sites sent the most mentions to the openmentions.com endpoints. This is not especially important, but it could indicate who the most active and [Read More]

I can be one of the hardest human beings to make contact with on the planet (for a chronically online guy). I am part hermit, part geek. Also, I get lost inside my own ideas. This guide is mostly for people who know me, but generally for anyone who wants to make contact (like, say, […]
