On discovery of (good) content from the interwebs.
A short reply to @anildash @kylewmahan @tinokremer et. al

Tino, your note reminds me of Dave Winer's http://podcatch.com/ service which he built to be able to have access to interesting podcasts at any time without having to sync his phone. Sadly, I think it's a static source and not quite the tool that even https://huffduffer.com/ is and even that requires some user set up to find great material.

I remember early web efforts like Digg that were interesting for a while, but sadly services like this regress to the mean and one gets the fluff that appeals to Harry and Mary Beercan.

My favorite discovery engine lately is the Nuzzle News app from Jonathan Abrams (http://nuzzel.com/) which plugs into my social feeds and gives me articles from friends/influencers that have been mentioned several times. The value of the site is the ability to easily plug in well curated twitter lists on particular topics which then finds articles tweeted about multiple times by people I trust. I find that most of what the app uncovers is worth reading and thinking about. Rarely does it surface fluff, though I find that the articles in the friends of friends category are things that I don't care that much about.

If only we could get Nuzzle to partner with Huffduffer?!

Pocket also has a recommended tab (https://getpocket.com/a/recommended/) which is relatively useful, but it really isn't far from the simple algorithmic approach of Digg in the past.

Also, can someone please build an internet-wide filter to get rid of #listicles and the joke and fluff emails with the 1000 forwards from 1998? We'd all be a lot better off. #PanemEtCircenses

@SandraSpoelstra @SarahRanae Since you're interested in cancer, remember that math + cancer = @MathCancer

+1 from me on this feature request. (It would be cool to see an awesome theme like this also support microformats v2 as well. Sempress is the only theme out there that does this already see: https://github.com/pfefferle/SemPress, so it would certainly set the theme apart.)

@raumzeit77 As a temporary fix for the IndieAuth piece, you could add a text widget to your site that helps you get compliance with some of the IndieWeb Specs. You can also repeat some of the social icons with "invisible" links so that they don't actually display on the page, but are machine readable for IndieWeb purposes. It's not the best fix/workaround as you'll need to remember that the "invisible" code is there at some later date, but it should get you over the hump. Keep in mind that not all providers work with IndieAuth, though platforms like Twitter and GitHub do.
Try putting the following into a text widget (some portions will be visible others, link tags for example, will not):

<pre><code>
&lt;div class="h-card"&gt;
&lt;link href="https://facebook.com/USERNAME" rel="me"&gt;
&lt;link href="https://twitter.com/USERNAME" rel="me"&gt;
&lt;link href="https://plus.google.com/+USERNAME1/posts" rel="me"&gt;
&lt;link href="https://www.pinterest.com/USERNAME/" rel="me"&gt;
&lt;link href="sms:+12125551212" rel="me"&gt;
&lt;link href="mailto:me@emailaddress.com" rel="me"&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;img rel="me" class="u-photo" src="http://domainname.com/site_icon.png" alt="" width="200" height="200" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
email: &lt;a class="u-email" href="mailto:me@emailaddress.com"&gt;me@emailaddress.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
phone:&lt;span class="p-tel"&gt;&lt;a rel="me" href="tel:+12125551212" &gt;+12125551212&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p class="p-note"&gt;
&lt;span class="p-job-title"&gt;President&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="p-role"&gt;CEO&lt;/span&gt; at &lt;a class="p-org" href="http://domainname.com" target="blank" &gt;Company Name&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;span class="p-locality"&gt;ANYWHERE, NY &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p-country-name"&gt;United States&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

Some of the code will also qualify you for some additional levels within the IndieWeb identification space relating to h-card.

Without looking at the logs, I seem to remember having a similar issue once upon a time (home page worked, but nothing else did). Double check two quick/hopefully easy things:
Make sure you keep your original "Uploads" folder and keep your config.ini file (or recreate it if necessary. If you recreate it, double check that the path for Uploads is correct. It may automatically default to the proper path name.)

I've written two brief update posts in the past which might be helpful as well. (You may have seen the first one.)

Who doesn't love fairy tales?

These particular ones don't seem quite as brutal and gruesome as those from Grimm Bros., though Red Riding Hood and her grandmother both get eaten up with no remorse here. Cinderella has a happier ending than I remember in Grimm which occurs a century later. Blue Beard was quite lovely and definitely drastic in an early attempt at the modern day suspense/thriller, particularly at the denouement. I hadn't come across Riquet with the Tuft before, but it certainly fits in well in a century with vapid pretty people and celebrities like Kim Kardashian.

This particular volume has a nice mini biography of Perrault as well as one for the artist Clarke who provides some lovely illustrations, though their recreations could have been higher quality for display in the ebook version I read here. I'm sure that printed versions would have been much lovelier.

I'm tempted to go back to re-read this in the original French simply for its beauty.

I was surprised to see a reference to sunglasses, and am curious if it's original to the French text or a byproduct of a dreamy translation.

Most of the time I see it appearing in listicle headlines like "15 Shocking Things JB Did This Morning" with a subhead like "It took me a minute to understand #11" or "You won't believe #5" and then when you've read them all #11 and #5 were just as bland as all the rest.
http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/a-list-of-reasons-why-our-brains-love-lists Given the psychological pull they've already got on the numerical side, couldn't they at least be a bit more creative in their adjectives?

I'm sure it's a hand-me-down effect of the tabloid journalism of the 80's/90's with shows like CURRENT AFFAIR that have ruined everything since.... 　

Reminds me of another pet peeve that I think you mentioned ages ago: reporters asking people after a major event, "So how does it feel having done X?" Remind me of your five favorite alternate questions. I don't remember them all at the moment.
