Just re-upped our 1Password family plan for another year. A no-brainer. 1Password is so good.

The Pixel 6 seems pretty nice. I doubt Google's SOC will compare to Apple's SOC but I do think it is a meaningful update to the Pixel line.

OK, Apple. I have a very brief window where I might be able to expense a new 16" M1 MacBook Pro. I'm totally happy with my current 16" MBP but I wouldn't mind far better battery life.

I do not like scroll jacking. Very seldom is it even "cool" when you see it. Most of the time it is simply hard to know how many times I have to scroll in order to see the next few words.

Was stung by a Yellowjacket yesterday. Why are wasps so mean?

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?

Here I am, in my jammies, appreciating how our garden beds are doing. Thanks @ajennische for starting this thread on your blog.

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.
