No link list today, unfortunately. It has been a crazy day and I just don't have the mental power to be in front of the computer any more today. 👋

Great Finals performance by the Bucks. But NBA foul calling is a mess.

Github user ElgranLoky set up a simple Docker container to run Unmark locally. I use Docker to run it locally as well for development (albeit with a slightly more complex set up). If you haven't tried Unmark yet, you can run it locally for…

We tried a few test pizzas on Tuesday evening in the new Roccbox. Great pizza oven. Very easy to use. Delicious. Now we're onto making our own dough. Will share pizza resources in future post.

Blogging tip: Don't write "I'm going to blog more". Rather, wait until you can write "I've been blogging more." See also my other blogging tips.

More and more bloggers that I subscribe to are doing link posts similar to my What I saw series and I love it. It is a really quick way to get a ton of interesting things to look at with a bit of commentary….

Anyone with salt pool experience can help me with an algae bloom issue? What is the best method to remove and defend?

Twice in the last two months I've set up new Calendly accounts only to have their trial period end and the URLs fail without them notifying me. Not cool.

I have a Logitech MX Master 2S and periodically the scroll-wheel stops working on macOS. If I restart the computer it works again. Anyone else have this problem? What is this, Windows 98?

Published my first ever environmental portraits. This is the style of photography I hope to do a lot more of. I made these images for an interview on The Watercolor Gallery which just went live today.

It used to be you went to trailers.apple.com to see what movies were coming soon. These days I have no idea what movies are available on which service. The TV app (not to be confused with Apple TV) helps but not enough.

Most of the time I have no issues with OneDrive. It is just in the background working. But now and then I do wish it didn't fail so silently. I'd much rather it pop up and yell that it isn't working properly.

Everyone’s Twitter bio should probably have the word investor in it by now. The word’s meaning (and perhaps weight) have changed a lot over the last 10 years.

Thanks to everyone that has purchased or donated to my projects lately. I have development chemicals, paper, and a viewfinder I need to buy soon so these donations help.

For a few brief moments this weekend I was able to pull out my two favorite pieces of kit. I'm really hoping I can take a lot more photos on film over the next few months as things open up a little.

What Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram did to blogging — Spotify and Apple Podcasts are attempting to do to Podcasts. Make it dead simple but put it in a silo and position themselves between the creator from the customer.

Red Oak for WordPress is turning out pretty great. Looking forward to getting it out there next week. Red Oak for Micro.blog will be getting bug fixes soon too. Did you know it was already live?

I made progress on Red Oak for WordPress. Looking like release next week. On Micro.blog it should appear in the Design settings very soon for people to test out. Please report any issues you have. I'm sure there will be some.

Thanks to everyone that sent in bugs with Red Oak for Micro.blog. I've pushed several updates that address all of the known bugs for now. I'm sure there will be more but may not be able to fully test it until people install it.

Short posts, links, photos, and working notes.
