Doing some highly scientific #granola experiments:
Initial observations: for one mouthful, skyr:granola ratios by weight varying between 6:1 and 6:7 have little noticeable effect on taste or feel of granola in your mouth, time taken to eat or number of annoying little granola-particles stuck in your teeth. At the lowest granola proportion the granola taste and smell was noticeably lessened.
More to follow.
Fellow #creativecommons publishers: how actively do you chase up unattributed use of your work you find? Do you actively look for unattributed copies?
Context: recently I’ve stumbled semi-coincidentally across several (casual, non-commercial) uses of my work, in one case attributed it myself, in the other sent a friendly message asking about it w/ no response. Wondering if this is a common experience?
Time to busk! Heading out to Austurvöllur with the #gurdy and some new tunes.
@benwerd enjoy the donut :) Here in Iceland it’s a holiday set aside for marching in protest. I’m looking forward to it!

People with beards: could you write me a tweet reviewing your favourite beard product? It's for a silly thing. It can be made up. :)
@anna_debenham I like this Beard Taxonomy, essential for field beard identification: topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TO&Product_Code=WON-BEARDS&Category_Code=WON (ew yuk yuk yuk nasty URL)
Shipped this weekend during #indiewebcamp NYC: github.com/taproot/subscriptions, the beginnings of a toolkit which makes subscribing to web content as easy as it should be.
Had a great time remote-participating, thanks to the organisers for setting it up and everyone who came!
If you want (relatively) fast, go small: Mite sets new fastest land animal record sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/04/140427191124.htm — questioning the upper limit of relative speed/stride frequency:
"When the values for mites are compared with data from other animals, they indicate that, if there is an upper limit, we haven't found it yet."
@benwerd also worth remembering hugely popular video responses on youtube — I think they got canned as part of the “upgrade” to G+ comments though :(
@jonnybarnes sure! Hope it shows up successfully! btw you should add an authorship h-card so we can see your face in feedreaders/reply contexts, e.g.
Ben Werdmüller<div class="h-entry">
<a class="p-author h-card" href="http://jonnybarnes.net">

@aaronpk nice colour!
Tiredly remote-participating #indiewebcampnyc after 4.5hr bike ride — join in! talky.io/indiewebcampnyc (any browser supporting webRTC should work)
@benwerd now I think of it, there is actually a Clangers episode questioning the value of multimedia. You know, this one:
I have been waiting to use that gif for so long
Ben Werdmüller:
At this point in my career I'm prepared to recommend that we all standardize on ASCII art and forget about "videos" and "multimedia".
@benwerd videos are such noisy things, whilst ASCII art has a certain serenity about it. But lack of video does mean no more Clangers :'(
…unless…
VCR TIME!
Identified next personal #indieweb block after some false starts: toolkit which makes not only subscribing to content but maintaining subscriptions+crawling historical content extremely easy.
Basic requirement for compelling services:
all of which I’ve started building separately before realising that it makes much more sense for them to all be the same thing.
Made a lot of progress on foundations this afternoon, code still in domain-specific anti-spam tool repo github.com/barnabywalters/shrewdness but nearly ready to be packaged up and put to use!
Okay, whoever’s doing guerilla marketing by putting random leaflets about India in my pockets OWN UP NOW please

@chloeweil looks delicious — amazing colours and very balanced!
Thoughts about #microformats whilst reading Lakoff’s Women, Fire and Dangerous Things — mf vocabularies e.g. h-card, h-entry, h-event are basic-level categories, the level at which:
E.g. h-entry ≈ “post”
Rather than RDF or schema.org which seek to create pure, objectivist, hierarchies of categories — our brains simply don’t work like that.

Strongly recommend this smart take on hashtags, and who owns them, by @tressiemcphd and @PhuzzieSlippers: http://tressiemc.com/2014/04/23/another-post-about-hashtags-no-seriously/ …
@dangillmor @tressiemcphd @PhuzzieSlippers great read! I wrote something much dumber a little while ago which touches on some of the same issues: waterpigs.co.uk/articles/who-owns-hashtags/
