I’m reading the commentary surrounding the Milo V. Simon and Schuster lawsuit drama and most of this is solid gold. Especially the resultant call-outs of the publishing industry for being perfectly willing to promote this crap.

I get that image recognition is all the rage right now, but is it too much to ask that platforms like Facebook allow users to enter alternative text for an image, and if it’s not provided, fall back to programmatic recognition?

Denise to Chip and Penny: “Don’t worry, daddy’s going to park you.” Wil to the general audience: “I’ll think about it.” Me to Wil: “You park those damn dogs!”

Current status: Playing the fortune cookie game with Wil and Denise where you add “Between the sheets” to the end of each fortune. Good times.

That took much longer than it should have, but support was very helpful. Dear fellow Americans: you get so much further when you keep up your end of the customer service arrangement. Be just as professional as you’d like the person on the other end of that transaction to be.

Pray for me, I’m about to enter the vortex of Live Chat, where I get to explain that the only reason I’m asking for help is because the controls I need to use in the domain manager aren’t keyboard or screen reader accessible.

Dear everybody swearing they’ll pay Facebook, Twitter or Instagram $50 for normal timelines with no ads: There’s this thing. It’s called the open, independent web. Join us, and then, help your friends do the same. You can then use a plain-old RSS reader to follow your friends.

A quick thought on handling reposts on my own site, and because I can, screw Twitter’s character limit. Twitter calls these retweets, and Facebook calls these shares, as in: “Amanda shared Amy’s post.” Short version: Twitter supports syndicating reposts, while Facebook does not. This means I can repost a copy of something on my own site, but if I want friends on Facebook to know I’ve reposted/shared it, I have to do the repost again from Facebook. Corporate web for the lose.

Feeling proud of myself. I think I will likely manage to blog for thirty days in a row. Writing your status posts on your own website first and then syndicating will do that. #indieweb

It’s quit-hundred hours for Tuesday. Today has been calm with absolutely zero drama of any kind and this is great.

Current status: Craving chips and cheese dip. I may need to fix this.

OK, the Facebook, you’re getting a little too creepy with the “Please give us money” notifications for my page.

Now that the elves are done with Christmas, they’ll be reconvening the Council of Elrond so they can resume the complete destruction of Mordor. And you thought those bastards slacked off for 364 days a year.

Sweatpants are made for those times when you find you’re so full from good food that you need to stand in the corner.

Life is too short to insist on a distinction between online friends and friends you have in “real life”. Also, who you are online is exactly who you are in “real life”.

Dishwasher is loaded and started, trash is taken out, and that’s my productivity for today. We now return you to your regularly scheduled fun.

Shoutout to all the geeks on internet-enabled toy assembly and configuration duty this morning.

I would like to wish all my Christian friends and family who are celebrating a blessed, meaningful and joyous Christmas. And remember, you really do have twelve days, so if you can’t cram everything into one day, spread out the contemplation and celebration.

Penny is desperately trying not to puppy charge. That dog is such a todler.

Wil found the perverted Christmas playlist on Youtube. This is fun.
