In this episode, I comment on recent linksâarticles, news, tootsâIâve posed on my blog and on Mastodon. From the iPad celebrating its 13th birthday to dreaming of a better metaverse, from ethnic stereotyping to A.I. B.S., thereâs never a dull moment here on Fresh Fusion.
Everything Everywhere All at Once won big at the Oscars, but it's not the only âverse-spanning creation making it big this year. ActivityPub is having a moment, and we're here to chronicle the rise of numerous new instances, applications, and networksâincluding the very WEIRD and wacky news that Meta (of all companies!) is exploring an ActivityPub-powered decentralized social networking platform of its own!
As Arnold would say, Iâm back, baby! Yes, I am rebooting my first blog ever, and this new daily weblog all about tech and nerd culture news with a dash of fun 90s nostalgia on the side will feature archives reaching all the way back to 1996. Are you excited yet? You should be!
How can one feel like an intellectually fulfilled citizen of the open web & fediverse and still consume regular YouTube content? Here's what I have done to corral this monster into a cageâŠand in the process unlocked a whole new environment for computing & entertainment. Life after Big Social can be so much better.
Blog comments are BACK, and this time itâs not about software people have to use on your blog or on their blog or even over on corporate social mediaâŠitâs all about the fediverse.

Woo hoo! Letâs dive in.
Where do you put the stuff that you write? Where do you post your posts? How do you publish things online now that Twitter is imploding and the Fediverse is rising? Has blogging made a comeback? What's the different between a blog and an email newsletter that's available via the web? Questions abound, and I'm here to talk about all of it and my thoughts around smart growth of a healthier, more open web.
