Testing updated OStatus plugins

Thom Yorke Dances Like I do
This is more or less how I dance at weddings. My wife has seen this and yet she still married me.
By the way, the New Radiohead album, “The King of Limbs” is top notch. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking it up.
OStatus Test
Nothing to see here! I added the OStatus WordPress plugin and I’m testing some features out.
Federated Friday
There is a tradition on Twitter called “Follow Fridays” in which folks list a few interesting people they follow on Fridays to help spread the word about people who are worth listening to.
Evan Prodromou, the founder and CEO of Status.net has built upon that tradition to create what he calls Federated Friday. Thanks to a bunch of protocols that allow websites to communicate with each other (slickly named the “Federated Social Web“) users of the Status.net service (including identi.ca) can follow the updates of users on a variety of social networking sites, including Google Buzz and Tumblr. Evan uses Federated Fridays to promote the Federated Social Web initiative as well as to bring attention to folks he thinks are worth following.
In the spirit of furthering open web standards and because I think it’s a really neat idea I’m going to jump on the Federated Friday bandwagon and share some of my more interesting FSW subscriptions. Here they are, in no particular order:
- Sesame Street on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/SesameStreet
- Catalog Living: A Tumblr blog that puts stories to catalog photos: http://catalogliving.net/
- Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide Web: http://identi.ca/timbl
- Evan Prodromou himself: http://evan.status.net/
- The Electronic Frontier Foundation, defending your rights in the digital world: http://identi.ca/eff

It’s Hot
It’s way too friggin’ hot. And for some reason the living room AC unit isn’t cooling the room as well as it should.
We Haz a Grill
After two painstaking nights of blood, sweat, and little metal screws we have gone from this:
to this:
I am so ready for a barbecue.
Much Better
Finally got rid of reiserfs. It was making me nervous.
Hello world!
What’s this all about then?
This blog is little more than a toy and a dumping ground for whatever might be rattling around in my brain at the time. I make no promise of coherence, entertainment value, or relevance to anything. Ever.
Why should I care what you think?
You shouldn’t.
What is your current mood?
Frustrated š
What is your biggest blogging-related pet peeve?
When lazy bloggers who can’t think of anything better to write about make their first post an FAQ.
