I’ve been using Feddle for a while but recently I’ve started signing up for RSS from Feedle searches in my feed reader. The way I have it setup is I create a search on Feedle for a specific term, let’s say “fediverse”, then I use the URL like this https://feedle.world/rss/?query=fediverse and add it to my feed reader, now every new post that show up in Feedle in that term it will be on my feed.

My work colleagues introduced me to this amazing Bird Id app (iOS/Android). I have been having lots of fun identifying birds around me. The screenshot above is what I see as the birds are been identified while the sound it’s been recorded by the app. Even though sometimes is hard to know which bird is singing the fact that the app shows you a picture of the bird it makes it easier and most of the times I can recognize the bird’s image in the picture.

I’ve put together my /defaults page. This is one of the pages listed in the SlashPages website. This particular one is inspired by the podcast episode from Hemispheric Views where they talked about their go to default apps. Last year I have made a blog post listing my defaults apps and now this page is a copy of that post but I am planning to keep it updated as I change what I am using.

Someone in the fediverse posted about this simple old school puzzle game called Zeek the Geek, originally developed in 1995, but recently some made a open source version using HTML5. This is the type of casual game that you can simply pick up and relax, it could be a five minutes or a hour. For me it helps me to turn off and relax before finish my day. ps.: I am sorry I don’t remember who posted this, if was you, please let me know.

Every morning a prepare coffee as part of breakfast. I usually drink a full cup (8 oz) of coffee every morning. Half of the cup I have with my breakfast and the other half I finish while going through my blogroll feeds. This has become a ritual that is quite joyful as I start my day in a relaxing way giving myself time to appreciate the coffee and as well reading something interesting from the feed.

I know others have written about this wait more in depth that I could ever do but I want to list some ActivityPub projects that I have played with. First if you don’t know ActivityPub is a protocol for decentralized social networks and it is an oficial W3C open standard. Second, there is Mastodon which is the most popular ActivityPub project today but I won’t talk about it because I am assuming everyone knows what it is.
