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.

I created a collection that pulls a Mastodon profile then renders as a tag cloud using visualizer. https://www.postman.com/api-evangelist/workspace/mastodon/documentation/35240-0fb28935-450a-420e-8d73-dab8053a142a?entity=&branch=&version=
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=

I hope my SF people are enjoying and/or surviving their atmospheric river. This is a good time to read up on the 1862 atmospheric river, which probably gave us the song "Clementine," according to my good friend Joel Pomerantz. https://sfnhs.com/tag/flood/
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.

So on the last day of the year, this just happened. Unexplained, extraordinary, humans cooperating with other humans to an orchestral degree. Less than seconds, and then they were in the clouds and vanished. Fly safely towards next year friends and strangers, keep each other’s measure with this much care.

It was a pleasure to hear the story behind Freepository straight from @jbminn in the latest addition to Open Source Stories. Hosted source control as a service was revolutionary to open source and contributed to its meteoric rise.

I just went and put on a sweater instead of turning on the heat. Damn I'm old.
Posting that Twitter is down here on Mastodon has a certain feel to it.
