This week, Jean talks to Vincent, a returning guest who appeared on Episode 74 in December 2019, when we talked about his Micro.blog app, Gluon. Since then, Vincent started working on the Micro.blog apps, and was instrumental in launching the official Micro.blog Android app.

Rob joined Micro.blog four years ago, and even attended a Micro Meetup in Minneapolis when Jean was there in 2018. In 20 minutes, we catch up, talk about how corporate social media has warped the blogging culture, and notice how even talking about Twitter raises our blood pressure.

After the end of the regular episode, there is a second bonus section we recorded to discuss Until the End of the World, a 1991 film directed by Wim Wenders, that we both are passionate about. Could this be the beginning of a Micro Film Group? Email [email protected] if you’d be interested in a semi-regular meetup to discuss film.

This week’s guest, Denny, is known for his posts about sustainablility, featuring lessons he’s learned as a tiny house inhabitant in the Missouri woods, where he also does website design and graphic design. We talk about his experiments in sustainable living, his longtime blog, new interest in Mastodon, and cute armadillos.

This week’s guest Eric is well known for his photos from his running adventures. He also has an unusual winter hobby, so be sure to listen if you want to get some DIY backyard ice-skating rink tips.

On this week’s episode, Aaron tells us a bit about the handcrafting of leather goods, how crafting helps us connect to our human nature, and why the humans of Micro.blog are so friendly.

We chat quite a bit on the hurdles of building community in the era of pandemic, how social media does and does not support communities, and how Micro.blog fits in. (There’s also a few minutes of Star Trek chat at the end.)
