For The Weekend: Four
A few things for you:

- Micropen.club is a… thing? Pen pals thanks to Micro.blog!

You can buy all 145 digital editions of Hellboy and wow do I wish I had more money right now.
It’s great to see the JSON Feed plugin for WordPress being maintained. David Shanske does a good job of maintaining the IndieWeb WP plugins and has even joined the Micro.blog Slack to help people and get feedback from people.
For The Weekend: Three
A few things for you:
- Preparing for the fall is a meditation of sorts on the inevitable change brought about by the passing of time. Sameer strikes words to page like no other and this is certainly no exception.
- Handbooker Helper is a video series by the folks at Critical Role. Whether you’re new to the hobby or looking to refresh your knowledge, it’s a great way to quickly gain a grasp on the fundamentals of tabletop role-playing.
- Pumat Sol is a character in the Critical Role series. Introduced here in the second campaign, the NPC is brought to life in a way that only Matt Mercer could manage; I’ve yet to see a limit to his creative talents.
- Kohan Ikin is working on a desktop app for Micro.blog, and he’s attempting to make it an actual cross-platform option. He’s also on Micro.blog (@syneryder) and providing updates on the progress of the project.
- Jean MacDonald; German word generator.
Enjoy your weekend!

For the first Micro Monday of October let’s talk about @vasta. Sameer writes with extraordinary depth, thinks of others first when taking part in conversaitons, and finds a way to talk about a variety of subjects and issues without wasting a single word. Simply, brilliant.

The News Literacy Project caught my eye the moment I saw it was a venture in which Walt Mossberg had become involved. The proliferation of well-funded education based projects surrounding the news and journalism is a welcome sight to behold.
-
Why you should use MP3 for your podcast. When it comes to podcasts, taking advice from Marco Arment is a safe bet to take.
-
Write about it in the moment. Ron Chester has great advice for blogging, and writing in general. The post inspired some interesting comments.
Enjoy your weekend!

Kohan is also making the app available for MacOS and Linux, by the looks of it.
Perhaps the API isn’t so bad.
