Snack time. A favorite that came home with us from Japan.
I’m ordering 4 tickets to a medium-sized college basketball game. It’s through AXS. 4 tickets, $76, and only $4 of AXS fees. How is that possible?! If it’s possible, why can’t big time artists negotiate reduced fees?!
I’ve had my iPad mini for a month or so and must say it hasn’t been as life-changing as the YouTube algorithm implied. Barely using it. Though if it kept a charge for a month rather than a few days, I think I’d be more impressed at those rare moments when I want to pick it up.
That feels good. Only 13 years after getting the standing desk!
Trying on the IBM Plex font family.

I did nothing. I took no action.
One. More. Blog. Software!
Our little alpha at GE is coming along. Hopefully something play-withable early next month.
Last night I saw Brit Floyd for the second time this year. In a smaller city, closer to where we live, so felt good supporting acts coming to that venue. And they are still great! Oh, and was able to bring two of my children. 😊
Things are coming along. (Still currently with a mission of “software to make my personal blog+site.”)
I think I’m a RubyMine (JetBrains) person now.
Here I go with another killer idea. We’ve decided to write personal blog software at Good Enough. That’s a pretty open market, right? 🤣 Our reasons aren’t that we see a big hole or have a big idea. I shared my very basic reasoning on the GE blog.
You running multiple monitors. This might save your sanity.
Since I went Apple TV a few years ago I frequently have to re-login to apps. Logged in to ESPN to watch a game yesterday, force login again today. Very annoying. I’m at the point of either switching platforms or buying all new gen ATVs (mine’s only one back). Others tell me they never have problems.
Recycling.
Was surprised to get to the last episode of Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones and see nearby city, Albert Lea, Minnesota, featured prominently. Wild!
Wow, Firefox.
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.)
