One big hurdle for me in woodworking / home projects is the design process. When I’m in the mood to woodwork, I’d rather not sit at a computer. (In this case for an entire afternoon.) It is really necessary for layout and to think through things.
Now I can finally start on this closet shelving.
Where do you pick up audiobooks? I donāt listen at a fast enough pace for Audible, but Iām running out of reasonable options at the library (Libby). Either the wait is months or the books are 18 hours, which I canāt finish before theyāre due.
Finally got my Bear notes and Evernote notes/PDFs moved to either Obsidian or my macOS file system. There go a couple of annual subscriptions off the ledger! I guess I’m committed to Obsidian now. (Though that basically just means I’m committed to the file system.)
After months of work, my friend Rianna has launched her popcorn shop and it’s fantastic! If you love the best snack in the world like me, do yourself a favor and check out Dusted.
Drake marching band. (A football game has broken out around their show, apparently.)
Been trying to use the Kinesis Adv 2 board for 8 months. The alternative layout is still not stuck in my head. Was going to ask if anyone has found a more traditional board that has similar ergonomic benefits. Just donāt think you can get similar benefits without moving keys off the pinky fingers.
A night of fellowship, sharing memories of our close friend who passed away with a sudden illness last week. She also happened to be our next door neighbor. We ache. We miss her. Life will not be the same for our family, but we shall carry on as she would want us to. š¤ your friends and family.
Iāve been avoiding social media. I think Iāll continue a bit. See you on the waves of RSS!
I was today years old when I learned that Minnie Riperton is Maya Rudolphās mother: music.apple.com/us/album/…
Played around with Yay.Boo this morning. I think the URLs are self explanatory?
date.yay.boo
time.yay.boo
datetime.yay.boo
randomcrayon.yay.boo
Pretty please?
I picked up an iPad Mini. I plan for it to be a thoughtful consumption device. NetNewsWire, Matter, and Libby installed, among other things. Any recommendations?
The Ticketmaster four ticket limit is really a bummer for a family of five.
Oh, I finally broke down and ordered an iPad Mini. That means a new announcement is imminent!
Some good stuff hitting the Good Enough printer. Thanks, @jthingelstad! š
Giving Panic’s Nova for Ruby on Rails development a try, so far with the Ruby on Rails extension (by Tommaso Negri) and that’s it. Happy to hear other extension suggestions. Been using VS Code for some years, but it seems constantly in “what’s the best configuration?” hell. We’ll see how it goes.
I adored Hasan Minhajās Homecoming King. That makes this story especially disappointing. Sure, make up stories. But when you include real people, identifiably, and keep āemotional truthingā the lies you told about them?! Come on.
Surprised myself in self-discovering that at most times if I’m alone I’d rather watch a pro video game streamer’s feed (currently Fortnite) than a sporting event.
Janelle MonƔe was very good. Glad to have seen her live.
Quite an interesting project: Postmarks single-user bookmarking website.
Basically every radio station is playing Fast Car and We Didn’t Start the Fire. Welcome to 2023!
I still go to smile.amazon.com.
I love going to concerts. There’s one I want to see tonight. I have tickets to Janelle MonĆ”e next Monday. I don’t love the 150 minutes of driving required and the sleep deprivation. I’m not planning to go tonight and I am weirdly unexcited for MonĆ”e. This seems like it might be a key self discovery.
Wishing Steven Wilson had a mailing list in addition to an RSS news feed. (Unless Iām missing it?) I miss the short window on his deluxe edition preorders every time.
