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 donā€™t listen at a fast enough pace for Audible, but Iā€™m running out of reasonable options at the library (Libby). Either the wait is months or the books are 18 hours, which I canā€™t finish before theyā€™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.

Half eclipse as seen in Minnesota, USA.

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 donā€™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. šŸ¤— your friends and family.

Iā€™ve been avoiding social media. I think Iā€™ll continue a bit. See you on the waves of RSS!

I was today years old when I learned that Minnie Riperton is Maya Rudolphā€™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
randomcrayon.yay.boo

Pretty please?

Please wash hands before returning to work sign.

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! šŸ˜†

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 Minhajā€™s Homecoming King. That makes this story especially disappointing. Sure, make up stories. But when you include real people, identifiably, and keep ā€œemotional 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.
