Who do? You do! Do what? Remind me of the babe
Throwing off the shackles of my wheat-free experiment for one night at Voodoo Donuts because I AM IN PORTLAND.
Checked into my hotel and plugged in all the devices - are #indiewebcamp folks still hanging out? @t @aaronpk @kevinmarks @caseorganic
Another great benefit of the #IndieWeb: being able to edit typos in your status updates. http://werd.io/view/51c4e161bed7de073150079b
Facebook bug leaks 6 million users' details. Somehow now seems like a drop in the ocean. https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/important-message-from-facebooks-white-hat-program/...
Anyone else landing at ~4:50pm interested in sharing a cab from PDX to the #indiewebcamp preparty? <a href="http://twitter.com/kevinmarks">@kevinmarks</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/haxor">@haxor</a>
<a href="https://twitter.com/erinjo/status/348216590094970881">@erinjo</a> Some moderate chop, but nothing really out of the ordinary. I'll stop whining ;)
That thing where I hate flying and I'm never flying again, but I'm actually in a plane and have to suck it up. Coming atcha, #indiewebcamp.
The capitalist's case for a $15 minimum wage. I buy into this completely: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-06-19/the-capitalist-s-case-for-a-15-minimum-wage.html
Missing Celia very much this evening. :( #stupidatlantic

I wonder if multi-factor authentication will iterate like disposable razors over time. Six-factor authentication by 2018. #thebestapamcanget
I get that a small team might have come up with a mobile video sharing feature. But how was it a big idea?
<a href="https://twitter.com/rsarver/status/347826366789591041">@rsarver</a> Yep. Sorry again, <a href="http://twitter.com/benward">@benward</a>, for muddying the namespace. Also, <a href="http://twitter.com/benwaeiourd">@benwaeiourd</a>.
<a href="https://twitter.com/rsarver/status/347824819431145474">@rsarver</a> There's an aerial design flaw in all the aluminium Macs. I solved it with a $20 USB wifi adaptor - bonus is much faster wifi!
<a href="https://twitter.com/kevinmarks/status/347821757740224512">@kevinmarks</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/obra">@obra</a> I hadn't - <a href="http://apiary.io/">apiary.io</a> looks interesting. Thanks for the heads up!
<a href="https://twitter.com/obra/status/347818114265784320">@obra</a> The other big thing is documentation and API guides. I want to emphasize that it's easy to extend / configure / theme.
<a href="https://twitter.com/sandeepshetty/status/347817771628896257">@sandeepshetty</a> Agree. Right now everything I post is public, but not for much longer - which will certainly help.
<a href="https://twitter.com/obra/status/347817392186986496">@obra</a> Working on a turnkey way to get a fully-installed version. Will also open a multi-user idno community in the next few weeks.
<a href="https://twitter.com/obra/status/347816928301162496">@obra</a> Posting is plaintext (or hand-HTML) right now, mind! PHP 5.4+, MongoDB, a few extensions required.
<a href="https://twitter.com/obra/status/347816928301162496">@obra</a> No installer yet, and it changes every day, but I run two installs straight from the repos: https://github.com/idno
It shouldn't be surprising. I've been on the web and posting on the Internet since 1994, but posting in the usual way scatters my data all over the place. Short status updates end up on Twitter; longer, more personal ones on Facebook; checkins on Foursquare; photos on Flickr; audio on Soundcloud; etc etc etc.
My site here at werd.io is an attempt to change my posting habits from being silo-first to more of a #POSSE approach: Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Everywhere. Now, all my status updates, posts, photos and checkins are here in one place, on a server that I own running code that I write, and copied to all those other sites.
It's made me think about posting much more deliberately.
A friend of mine often says that you shouldn't publish anything on the web that you wouldn't be happy seeing on a billboard. I don't think that's true on the whole web - for example, at latakoo we're building tools to make sending, storing and sharing private media content (video, audio, images, large data files) easier, including a self-hosted enterprise option that federates with our hosted .com site. But for the free, public, social web, it definitely makes sense.
This morning, I checked into my office, and then I checked into a local BBQ joint for lunch. Do I really need to share that? Possibly; possibly not. It's my choice, but at least having all this content front and center allows me to make it in a more informed way. I'll probably check in a little less often, except perhaps to announce my presence at venues for special events (like IndieWebCamp this weekend) or to "tweet" links to resources I think are interesting.
This is all new, and my thoughts on it are still baking. Having one stream has certainly made me think about my identity online in ways that I haven't for years. Maybe I'll maintain several identities? Run an anonymous site for frivolous checkins or photos of my latté? The jury's still out, but because I'm empowered to run my own platform, the choice is all mine.

Great little meeting just now. We're pushing audio uploads, responsive interfaces and role-based permissions imminently. #latakoo
