A new post up on the blog. Now, off to dinner with my daughter. Have a great evening, everyone. :-)

All this social media drama is a good reminder to refocus on our blogs (and mine have been too quiet for too long).
So:
The Seto
uchi Triennale 2022 has ended. Time for a debriefing. This post contains a few words, a few pictures, and not one but three (rather long) videos. So sit comfortably, get a drink of your choice and take your time to enjoy it. More to come soon.

Food for thought...
Think of Mastodon social media the same way you think about email.
Imagine if schools, governments and companies had there own instances. Mastodon could replace how email is used in many situations and could become a default communication method for group interactions. You'd have your work masto and your personal masto, just like email. Every entity would own its own data.
Ever dreamed of ditching the nine-to-five, selling your possessions, taking the kids out of school and quitting your dream job to take off overseas into an adventure of uncertainty? I did. My wife did too.Fortunately I was able to stay attached to my dream job in a way and produce an eight-part series on our
Have had a daily photoblog since about 1999. The last iteration of it won a few awards. But, sadly, the template was old and I couldn't update it or port it into a new Wordpress theme.
Have spent the morning re-designing the blog and it now has enough content in it to launch.
In light of the mess that social networking has become, it's time to get back to putting daily content on my own blog. Rather than just populating billionaires' websites for them.
There is a clear line between the cultural factions on Mastodon:
Community Groups vs Broadcast Social Media.
This tent has to be big enough for both. Thankfully, the protocols support this. @darius's Hometown fork of Mastodon is even better than Mastodon for small community groups (but still federates where you need it!)
We need a Mastodon fork (or AP server) that works more like Twitter, for more broadcast orientated individuals and organizations.
Damn. Every time I try to move to a new instance to lift the load from here, the instance I decide to move to doesn't accept new accounts anymore. It did a few hours prior, while I was "shopping around."
Happened three times now.
The number of people arriving here at the moment is insane.
It really feels like the great #Digg to #Reddit #migration 10 or so years ago.
It might be a good time to run #Debirdify or #Fedifinder one last time to find all the folks you were following or followed by on #Twitter who are now here on #Mastodon.
