Your Identity, chopped up or cloned: You Decide http://waterpigs.co.uk/musings/post/chopped-up-cloned-you-choose The ideas behind #indieweb are similar to the ideas behind #diaspora, except that you actually get real federation and control of your content, and you don't need to leave other social networks behind.

In Which I document the structure of my indieweb site, and lay out a roadmap of where I want to take it. http://waterpigs.co.uk/musings/post/waterpigs-structure-roadmap For those who don't know about #indieweb and don't want to read my techy post, it's essentially the ideas behind diaspora. Unlike diaspora, #indieweb is actually about owning your content and federating the social web. A post is coming soon.

Secret Gurdy Feature: This image showed a secret feature, so I had to block it out in accordance with the laws of secrecy (Chapter 14, Section 47, Sub-section 19: If a photo contains something secret, it must be blended up in a manner most unusual) http://flic.kr/p/bCLGr6

It occurred to me that I haven't really shown anyone inside my workshop, so here's a shot of me with my gurdy mockup and one corner of it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/53044388@N05/6830794108/in/photostream
