Sep 29, 2025 Note Recently purchased a few tracks from A Unicorn Masquerade on Bandcamp (who also goes by Bread on Penguins on YouTube).
Sep 16, 2025 Note Recently finished reading Into The Storm by Skylar Holt – the pseudonym of my niece. Fun to read a full fiction book by someone I know so well.
Sep 3, 2025 Note If you're like me; you like files, you like web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you like markdown, you like kanban, you like pomodoro, and you like apps. If this sounds like you reach out. I'll be open sourcing something in the coming…
Aug 25, 2025 Note Hey, you. Are you an expert in vanilla JavaScript? Electron? Building apps with JavaScript and Electron? I could use your help. I'd be happy to pay you for an hour of your Zoom time. Reach out please!
Aug 18, 2025 Note I was gifted a Nikon FG with a few lenses and fun Speedlight SB-15 from a friend. It was gifted him by his parents when he graduated high school. This is my favorite way to get a new camera – when it comes from…
Aug 14, 2025 Note As of today I've deactivated the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress. I just can't get it to work the way that I want to. It is a complex problem, I don't envy the team working on it. And they are doing a great job so…
Aug 14, 2025 Note The world of computer keyboards is… a little confusing. I have a Keychron K2 75% (non-backlight, brown switches) that I picked up a few years ago. I really like it. In fact I bought two of them – one for the office and one…
Aug 6, 2025 TIL TIL on macOS > System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Widgets > Widget style > Monochrome. I have a few widgets on my desktop and I don't like that they switch between monochrome and color when the desktop is in focus. This is…
Jul 30, 2025 Note I sometimes feel that I have so much to do that I don't know where to start. This is when I remind myself; make a list, start at the top. It works every time.
Jul 22, 2025 Note It is starting to look like I’ll delay updating to Apple’s “26” family of OSes this fall. Not only because of the obvious waffling on the Liquid Glass UI that I’m seeing in the betas, but also because it really seems like they are…
Jun 30, 2025 Note Tracy Durnell thinks self-web mentions need to be displayed slightly differently on WordPress. Consider upvoting the GitHub issue if you agree.
Jun 26, 2025 Snap Eliza and I have been thinking about buying some e-bikes for a long time. We live in a mountainous area and a traditional bike is fun, definitely a good workout, but also limits the number of times and places we'd bike. Having the e-bikes…
Jun 16, 2025 Note I find myself in need of new Apple TVs, AirPods, and AirTags. But I have the feeling that Apple is on the cusp of releasing new versions of all three. I must be patient!
Jun 10, 2025 Note I've been running macOS in "Increase contrast" mode for nearly a year. Yesterday's WWDC keynote, which debuted the Liquid Glass design across all of Apple's OSes, reminded me to look at my settings again. Toggling that off again is an entirely new experience using…
Jun 3, 2025 Snap So, this happened. 😄 🐶 I hadn't posted about our new family member Kona Barkley because several in the blogging community have lost their special pets recently. For the past two months, Eliza and I have been chasing this little guy around, cleaning up…
May 28, 2025 Note Purchased a few new-to-me audio goodies over on Bandcamp including Somebody by Stefan Bohacek and FLOW by Mr Jennings.
May 6, 2025 Note Purchased Under Tangled Silence by Djrum at Simon Collison's suggestion. I suggest you consider doing the same (that is, follow Simon's advice on all music).
Apr 7, 2025 TIL TIL that when people said they read a book they sometimes mean they listened to a book. Ok, it wasn't today that I learned this but I am hearing it a lot more often.
Apr 7, 2025 Note After over 8 years my Logitech MX Master 2S had a button jam. It was a fantastic mouse and I'm very happy with the life it had. So I immediately purchased the 3S which is better in a number of ways; USB-C, better buttons,…
Mar 11, 2025 Note My personal OneDrive has seemingly gone off the rails. It reported that I had deleted thousands of files when I hadn't. I'm also seeing many duplicated files for no known reason. Stranger still, my 2021 blog post about resetting OneDrive was my most popular…
Jan 6, 2025 Note After purchasing the new MacBook Pro with a matte display (and loving it), this weekend I converted all of my devices to matte using screen protectors.
Dec 4, 2024 Note I feel like computer hardware (processing units, graphics/neural processors, memory, storage) has gotten mind bending fast while at the same time the software we run day-to-day has gotten noticeably poorer. I often think "what if the software engineers of the early days were to…
Dec 3, 2024 Note I had no idea Anthony Bourdain had a Reddit account. I've only just recently begun to be able to start watching / reading his work again. /via Mia Quagliarello via Rolling Stone.
