Looking for a developer to help me with a little side project. It's an existing app. Python/Django backend, Next.js frontend. Part-time, contract. Could be a whole thing! (But probably not.) DM me.

And we are back thank you ghost of Nikola Tesla thank you all who sent him. Apparently there is no cause known as of now but it seems only affected about a thousand people tops in east side areas mine and about a half a mile North. Nerve-inducing in a desert.

Please send the ghost of Nikola Tesla ASAP! We're in a blackout. No storms, very hot and with elderly neighbors it is worrisome. This complex is almost 100% solar, fairly rare even here in Arizona. With no construction or other obvious reasons this is unusual. Do wish us luck!

I watched it twice once either in late January early February and then a couple months after. Gore connected BLM the pandemic, and how good things have come from it as well. A few unsettling statistics about covid deaths in Black Men in their 30s and 40s of which I wasn't aware.

The only thing I was slightly uncomfortable with was a lot of male pale but that's the way it seems in certain circles until they had some Q&A two women and a young man who expresses love for them it was very cool to see that too. Al talked about his dad which I don't remember.

Tim talked a bit about solid which if you haven't read about it it's worth it I like aspects of it's especially the decentralization and pod concept which resembles the cloud but far more secure. It was a lot of talk about security and privacy, and anonymity vs. open.

And I love the fact that nobody there was in it for the money ever. These were labors of passion and hope and love for Humanity the desire to see good and do good but how dark things became and abuse, misinformation but in the context of how do we address these things now.

The other piece that really is telling is watching and listening to Al Gore because it's many years now since the quote about inventing the internet and that he is knowledgeable in many areas including literature. Lord of the Flies, shakespeare, it was quite an interesting talk.

Of Greater importance I think is an observation I didn't have when I watched it some months ago was that all three really have a love of the intersection of technology and Society which for the web was baked in. Sir Tim has always been a champion for discourse, decency, unity.

I encourage anyone working on web and other internet related Technologies to take the time to watch that video of Vint Cerf, Al Gore, and Sir Tim as it really does portray an interesting dynamic of how the internet and policy and funding all rolled into how the web emerged.

The favicon! It was so strange when it first came out and now it just seems like an indelibly Inked piece of our history. From the history of the web here's a little walk down memory lane. Enjoy!

Now please enjoy this interview where Vint Cerf, Tim Berners-Lee and yes, former United States vice president and senator Al Gore himself having a laugh together! All's well that ends well? 😜

The internet and web have moved rather quickly and as such I think we end up with a lot of Mythology and a lot of unverifiable commentary because everybody gets sloppy even the best. I've heard various contributors to both use the terms interchangeably. Knowing they are not!

The person who is considered to be the most prominent figure in the invention of the internet and is referred to as its father frequently is Vint Cerf, who has defended Gore vehemently because of his contributions and initiatives. Many have acknowledged Gore for his work.

Interestingly, Al Gore did take initiative for funding and political initiatives that led to the growth and promotion of the internet and the World Wide Web. In context for a politician the word initiative takes on a specific meaning. No single person invented internet or www.

Al Gore to Wolf Blitzer in 1999 "I took the initiative in creating the internet" immediately elicited ridicule from Republicans and many jokes from comedians. Bill Clinton jumped into the comedic Fray with a quip of his own that did use the words Al Gore invented the internet.
