I hosted July's IndieWeb blog carnival; for the subject, I chose "totems." Five drongos heeded my call. Thank you, one and all. I am dreadfully late to posting this roundup, but late beats never.

My Support Character - Albert James Moriarty

Sara shows us that a totem need not be physical. She has spent an enormous amount of time thinking about a particular anime character, and uses him as a point of reference to understand things going on in her head and in her life.

I have written 114 works [of fanfiction] spanning 189,837 words involving him.

When I analysed all my blog posts for a regex talk I was doing, he was the third most frequent 5-or-more letter word over all my blog posts spanning decade of my writing.

I'm the host for this month's IndieWeb Carnival, and the theme is totems: items of great personal, spiritual, or religious meaning, which may serve as the emblem or symbol of a group of people.

The IndieWeb itself is a living totem that we indie-website-havers create with every post. What's your totem? What does it mean to you? How did you acquire it: purchase, creation, trade, gifting, theft? Is your totem connected to the Internet, perhaps? Is it something you look at every day?

These are just a few prompts. Go forth and blog.
