A Strange Form of ORCID-Based … Advertising? Networking? Sp_mming?

Posted on December 2, 2024 by Michael Froomkin

I’m still looking for a good tool to autopost to Bluesky. The Atproto Share plugin sends a link, but no more unless supplemented manually…

No Joke

Posted on December 2, 2024 by Michael Froomkin

There was a saying (which I first encountered 30+ years ago in the UK) that, “Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.”

That silly joke has a much more ominous cast in light of global warming.

On a less grim note, it’s so cool here today I not only could open the windows but I put on a sweater! This is quite rare in South Florida.

On a technical note, this will be my first attempt to auto-post to Bluesky….

I’m naturally biased, but I think he’s good at this.

Incidentally, the weird background is somewhere at a conference he was attending.

Election Day Anthem

“Yes She Can”

If I had to bet it would be Harris, a Democratic House, and a Republican Senate. But I say that with no confidence.
