@randfish I've always been in love with https://www.heathceramics.com from SF. Not cheap but well made and beautiful.

@devinreams I downloaded it, saw that it requires access to my contacts, deleted it and posted ^.

Is Gowalla actually decentralized?

Who is working on the Foursquare of the Fediverse?

Any #RaspberryPi fans here? I've never built one but I'm thinking about building a travel router + simple airbnb security camera for when I travel. Any advice before I go down this rabbit hole?

The joys of self-hosting. My Mastodon server's letsencrypt failed to renew, causing my server to go offline. And of course, I hadn't added the server to my monitoring service yet. Oops!

My parents, both 70, are getting to the point of needing help that my sisters and I aren’t qualified for.

Eg: my dad has been in and out of the ER for problems that no one can seem to figure out. My mom is unable to comprehend everything the doctor is telling them.

As we don’t live near them, it would be nice to have an advocate figure out the health side while my sisters and I focus on helping the emotional side.

Same for cyber security, finances, etc.

I’d gladly pay for it.

@jeffjarvis my alma mater. They’re highly effective at these types of marketing ploys.

@devinreams I had no idea that @cloudflare had 1/2 the products they did until I read that post.

It's Friday, friends. What did you do this week that you're especially proud of?

For me, I hired a contractor to help with a new project.

Good morning from Nunciatura, San Jose, #CostaRica. #PuraVida

@philshapiro Public libraries make the best coworking spaces.

Goodness!

With all of this Chinese balloon news, some news network needs to book Richard Heene for commentary.

@mathowie I'm really enjoying it, too.
