Kin Lane @[email protected]

@taylor_atx Yes, but had to widen the exposure a bit as the primary "tester" aka wife was reporting way too many bugs.

Today is just a "soft launch" of Kin Lane to see if it still can operate this computer, communicate, and do those API things. Don't expect much.

Evening @TheKinrar I created a @getpostman collection for your Mastodon Instance API. Any chance I could convince you to fork and setup in your own Postman team in the network. I am looking to do some storytelling on the Postman blog about your API, and would rather you have control over it. Feel free to message if you have any questions. Otherwise I'll just link to mine. Appreciate the hard work, it is a great API! https://www.postman.com/api-evangelist/workspace/mastodon/documentation/35240-19c2f28d-fec5-4b0d-ba82-65daba4590dd?entity=&branch=&version=

@jbminn I'll be here, with possibly tentative trip to Zion in Utah.

@jbminn sounds like a plan!

@jbminn no. I was gonna get back into fishing! Maybe you will see me out there.

@bobmagicii I wouldn’t be against this, as long as there is opportunity and procedures for playing with new things so they can keep up with private sector, but once it matures in adoption you bring in house.

@bobmagicii I agree with this in principle, but in practice there are other forces that have fractured what "in-house" means within government agencies, preventing them from attracting and maintaining the domain and technical expertise they need to effectively manage everything they need to operate in a digital world--outsourcing their soul to contractors even before the platforms come into the equation.

I feel that if a communication channel is being printed on signs and used by a government agency as to engage with the public -- there should be a certain amount of regulation involved.

Spent the morning walking half the Bay Bridege from Oakland to Yerbe Buena Island.

@ardosi Agreed. I love how the game changes so much when it isn't about platform monetization.
