“Color perception is tricky to measure...”

Is My Blue Your Blue?

Getting outlier results doesn't mean there's anything wrong with your vision. It might mean you have an idiosyncratic way of naming colors, or that your monitor and lighting is unusual.

• Has the IndieWeb become discourse again?

  And to me, this is actually what “being IndieWeb” or “doing IndieWeb” is about: using the web in ways that fit your wants and needs, being mindful of when (and to whom) you give up control over your stuff and your connections.

• Has the IndieWeb Become Irrelevant?

  In my opinion, having a website is a means to an end. It is a way for me to express myself, to say, "Here I am. This is what I'm into. It's here if you want it, but if not that's fine, too." It's a conversation starter, not the conversation itself. It is not an end in itself, but a means to other ends.

• Indieweb Vs Indie Web ⇦

  Use wordpress if you want. Use Blogger. Hell, use Frontpage 98 if you want. Or learn some HTML And CSS and type it all up in notepad.exe. Or just HTML, don't even bother with the CSS. Just make it yours.

• Raw dog the open web!

  In our current digital landscape, where a corporate algorithm tells us what to read, watch, drink, eat, wear, smell like, and sound like, human curation of the web is an act of revolution. A simple list of hyperlinks published under a personal domain name is subversive. Curation is punk.

• Some Notes on the Personal Website Revival ⇦

  Follow some personal website revival folks. A bunch are on Mastodon but for those who aren't there's always RSS. If I want to be a part of the conversation, it doesn't hurt to start by listening.
