Still referencing RailsCasts after all these years. 😂
Broke down and ordered a Keychron Q1 keyboard (fully assembled) to compare and contrast against the Kinesis Advantage2 that I think I’m giving up on.
I was excited for macOS Sonoma (which I finally installed) because I recalled that it would change the behavior of opening apps stealing focus (usually when you’re mid-typing in another app). Focus-stealing still seems to be happening. Is there a setting that I need to change?
Anyone have a recommendation for blue light blocking eyeglass clip ons? I have a prescription and would like to try them in the evening for my wayfarer type glasses.
Today Good Enough’s Letterbird takes flight. Letterbird is a free contact form on the web that allows you to receive emails without plopping your email address on the open internet. Pro features, too, if you’d like to fine-tune. More to come!
Anyone out there just use Facebook Marketplace and not Facebook proper? Like is that possible? I’ve been off Facebook for a decade, but Marketplace is the only game in town to unload some of our extra, still useful stuff. Craigslist doesn’t really have much of a market here.
This year I’ve learned to appreciate walking as a healthy habit. It’s getting cold and I think I’ll need to buy one of those walking-desk treadmills. It’s very not the same to walk on such a thing versus the outdoors, but…cold.
(Also, I should probably buck up and walk outdoors in the current 30°F.)
When do we get the Mark Zuckerberg episode of Hot Ones?
I’ve been collecting a linkroll of places I like to visit from time to time to discover new weird wide web sites. (Sorry in advance that this page will probably move to a different URL in the next couple of months.)
weirdwide.website
I wonder what it would cost to buy weirdwideweb.com?
It’s been a minute since I posted about Yay.Boo. We now have some example pages to hopefully inspire you to make something even cooler/weirder. What will you Yay.Boo?
I somehow finished reading White Noise by Don DeLillo. Is the movie better?
Someone tell me when I should update to watchOS 10.
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 don’t listen at a fast enough pace for Audible, but I’m running out of reasonable options at the library (Libby). Either the wait is months or the books are 18 hours, which I can’t finish before they’re 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 don’t 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. 🤗 your friends and family.
I’ve been avoiding social media. I think I’ll continue a bit. See you on the waves of RSS!
I was today years old when I learned that Minnie Riperton is Maya Rudolph’s 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
