Tomorrow is ten years since US Airways 1549 made an emergency landing on the Hudson River. The miraculous confluence of circumstances that resulted in a plane full of passengers surviving such a situation is amazing. I could talk about that for a long while, but the first thought that came to me as I pondered it tonight was the first pictures being posted on Twitter.
The “Miracle on the Hudson” was the first event I recall noticing how the news was coming from Twitter. Twitter at that point felt new, open…encouraging of developers to build on top of it as a platform. It was when I realized that real time reliable information could be delivered to me as it was happening. It changed things for my perception.
It is now 10 years later, and people are looking for a way to recapture that, in the same way people look to recapture the old neighborhood when it changes.

Heading home on EI105, Dublin to JFK.
Nearly there… preparing to descend.
Finally got a direct GPS fix as I am next to the window. Let’s see how Indigenous for Android passes Altitude.
Heading to Dublin on EI104.
Went to see Mary Poppins Returns last night. I haven’t been to a movie theater in a while. The critics had mixed reviews about the sequel. I think that anything people waited 54 years for has trouble living up to their imagination. But the people who made it clearly were trying to honor the spirit of the original. It is definitely worth a look.
Back to playing with extracting the latitude and longitude data from FlyFi
Just fixed a posting bug at 37000 feet. Nothing like keeping busy.
The Twentysixteen Indieweb theme has been renamed. This is out of necessity as it was using the same slug(twentysixteen) as the item it was forked from. The new slug and repository name is IW26.
While I’ll be keeping the basic style of 2016, I’ll be cutting out a lot of things. I will continue to backport changes and improvements from both the _s project that 2016 is based on and the stock 2016 theme.
But the split will allow me to do some things that I think Twenty Sixteen would have done if it continued to iterate. But I’ll also be cutting out a lot of pieces that aren’t needed in the fork, including two digits of the name.
