Paul Robert Lloyd 🐢I really hope HISBE can get back on their feet. Not only because I depend on them for my many refills (and with it my much reduced consumption of plastic), but I think their model of local, ethical and sustainable shopping makes a lot of sense. https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/24044484.hisbe-brighton-worthing-supermarket-confirms-money-woes/
Andy PiperA fun, quick, snackable read (each chapter is only a few pages, and focuses on a single “idea that changed the web”). For a book that is nearly 10 years old, it holds up fairly well - although with the pace of change, there are obviously a number of ideas and historical references which seem very dated now (companies and technologies that have gone away, etc). I learned a few things along the way, so it was a worthwhile read.

"This innovative title looks at the history of the Web from its early roots in the research projects of the US government to the interactive online world we know and use today. Fully illustrated with images of early computing equipment and the inside story of the online world's movers and shakers, the book explains the origins of the Web's key technologies, such as hypertext and mark-up language, the social ideas that underlie its networks, such as open source, and creative commons, and key moments in its development, such as the movement to broadband and the Dotcom Crash. Later ideas look at the origins of social networking and the latest developments on the Web, such as The Cloud and the Semantic Web. Following the design of the previous titles in the series, this book will be in a new, smaller format. It provides an informed and fascinating illustrated history of our most used and fastest-developing technology."--

Andy PiperOh! One of my #BuiltWithGlitch apps got an honourable mention for “Best Fediverse app” last year (behind the fantastic @stefan and alongside another one of my favourites, @ckolderup with #postmarks) 😄
There’s a lot more we can do to make embedding Mastodon content better, and I do want to revisit and revitalise my little set of demos there. I’ll get to it!

LouisaI just got my booster at Walgreens, even though the pharmacy tried to tell me that ~unfortunately~ my (state provided) insurance doesn't cover Covid boosters anymore
So I said according to https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/bridge/index.html I should be able to get it free of change no matter what, & https://www.vaccines.gov/ lists this Walgreens location as a provider, so how can we fix this? They said they needed to "check some things", & then I magically got it for free instead of $155.99
Know what you're owed!
