I think it’s about time for a week off the grid. T-minus ≤ 3 days.

Yes Lynx!!! 🏀

I finally lost my smart ring! bjhess.com/posts/i-f…

Great, now I want a Pika blog feed to print at home automatically via dot matrix: aschmelyun.com/blog/gett…

Am I the only one whose macOS 15 (now 15.1) is broken for recurring calendar events? Cannot delete a series or edit a series of Apple Calendar events. The series just…doesn’t delete (or edit).

Just add it to the pile of problems I’ve had with Apple Calendar over the years! #maturesoftware

There needs to be a way to deprioritize certain folders in Obsidian search. My folders filled with imports from past apps (Evernote, Bear) always end up at the top of my search results. I still want to see them, just not as the top results.

(Solution is probably 2 days of organizing/pruning.)

It feels a bit silly to replace my dying watch (battery) with a new one since it’s basically an alert/alarm/reminder machine, but also…maybe I will. Which one looks the best? It’s hard for me to choose between the chonky ultra 2 (though 💰) and svelte, half-the-weight 10.

Driving around town, I generally prefer listening to the radio.

Hans Zimmer (Live!)

If you ever get a chance to see Hans Zimmer live, 110% do it.

Getting ready.

That’s quite a retroactive default, LinkedIn. Maybe we should all connect in some other manner? 🤔

I know she’s not everyone’s cuppa, but Apple Music shot one across Norah Jones’s bow. Only one Essential Album for you, Norah! (Alicia Keys has two Essential Albums. Oooo, John Legend also only has one!)

Norah Jones's Come Away with Me as displayed in Apple Music's Essential Albums section of her artist page. No other albums shown.

Why did I look at the Pika logs? It sent me on a two day scanner-blocking, feed redirecting, and bug fixing walkabout. 😁 It’s good, but also…😅. Now to not get distracted by non-Latin text transliteration…

TIL: You can simulate slower internet in the Chrome/Chromium dev tools network tab.

I appreciate personal site/blog directories–lots have been cropping up. I try to submit to them all, however…I’ve only received 22 hits from such sites this year. Is anyone else seeing notable traffic from these services? I’ll be honest that I’m not in the habit of browsing said directories.

Oh, hai, Pika! www.merlinmann.com/roderick/…

The browser on my phone has 498 opened tabs. Does this mean I need a new phone?

It is therefore that the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.

A few low-level thought leaders who post on socials frequently write in a way that I just can’t understand. Their words sound smart, but they combine them in ways I can’t comprehend.

This isn’t even a critique. Some people tell me that my writing creates similar word puzzles for them.

A little walk this morning for my birthday. Beautiful day out today!

I just finished reading Faces of the North. ★★★★★
