I have a problem with registering domains. When I have an idea for a Web site, software project, organization, or sometimes just a pun or joke, I'll go on a domain registrar site and see what related domains are available. I'll brainstorm a bit in the search screen to try some different options for names … Continue reading How to register just enough domains
Print Version of ActivityPub Book
O'Reilly Media asked me to collect expressions of interest for a print version of the ActivityPub book I wrote. I've added a form to the ActivityPub book page at https://evanp.me/activitypub-book/#print that you can use to let me know that you're interested. Even if you've told me before in person, over email, or on the Fediverse … Continue reading Print Version of ActivityPub Book
Birthday Inventory 2024
So, it's my birthday on Monday, which means I'm going to do a birthday inventory, as I do every year at this time.

A Bigger, Better Fediverse
I gave a talk** at Berlin Fediday this weekend entitled A Bigger, Better Fediverse. I talked about what has been happening on the Fediverse in terms of growth, but also what's been improving in terms of trust and safety. I also talk about why these two dimensions go hand-in-hand, and how we can't have one … Continue reading A Bigger, Better Fediverse
Media
I've had a few great interviews in the last couple of weeks. I decided I wanted to track them on a media page on my own site. I'm going to try to keep them more organized, but for now I just want to get them linked.
Health Update
Four weeks ago today, I was hit by a truck while crossing the street in Healdsburg, CA. I was hospitalized for a week in Santa Rosa with 9 rib fractures, a broken wrist and facial bone fractures. I learned how to walk, shower, dress and care for myself while in excruciating pain. On release, I … Continue reading Health Update
North Woods
I read North Woods over the last week or so, and I really liked it. It's a generational novel covering European settlement in an area of western Massachusetts from sometime in the late 1600s going forward a few centuries into the future. That sounds like it would be kind of superficial, but the stories of … Continue reading North Woods

Over the month of May, I've been working … Continue reading I turned in my manuscript!
