i've published my first widget:

chumby.com/guide/C78EE13C-CE96

it's a weather widget that's inspired by WeatherSTAR 4000-era The Weather Channel, currently it's limited to guessing your location but the next step will be making a way to choose an exact location to report about

@ilovecomputers I feel like the core of what we loved about the internet is there - it's hiding in chat rooms, little closed member forums, hand crafted websites. It's not gone, just harder to see, but if you dig through the muck, you find yourself in a small meadow with a few other folks who might share with you something good.

is anyone in southwest UK (and can pick up in person) in want of a SE FDHD for a negotiable price? i don't have the space to keep this one.

Despite making major headway on my debts (no more credit card!), I do still have a student loan to pay, and this month's payment is due in two days. And I... haven't earned any money this month. It looks like I will need about $75. Grateful for help/shares. 🙇‍♂️

Doctorow discourse 

Jesus fucking Christ, Cory, this is patently ridiculous.

He doesn't engage with Audre Lorde's actual intention & meaning. No, he brings up a Black woman thinker/writer/activist, assures us he knows how "smart" she was, & then dismisses her words out of hand without even superficial engagement by using a cute little analogy.

I'm not trying to nitpick: that is some real colonizer bullshit.
