Accidentally wrote some code that did 360 billion lookups against a database. Oops. My Mac processed it in 7 seconds. Computers are amazing.

Apple One's Family Plan should have more storage options. Currently you can purchase 200GB of extra storage for the entire family. Optionally, you can add additional iCloud+ Drive space for $9.99/month but that makes it more expensive than Apple One's Premier Plan. 200GB for…

Moved all of my accounts from 1Password to, iCloud Passwords (is that what it is called? it isn't KeyChain, is it?). Now to move Eliza's and we'll be done.

Does everyone feel more, less, or as anxious as I do all the time?

I haven't been blogging much. Work is super, super busy and that will likely continue through mid-August. And Stripe Transfer is busier than ever. No complaints! But I do miss my blog, shooting photographs, and making new projects. I shall return!

I'm in a phase where I have an absolute ton of work to do and everything is working great on my computer. So, I don't want any software to be updated for 60 days or so. I seem to hit this sweet spot about…

I've been using Raindrop for several months. It is very good, aside from a glaring omission. But I think I'm going to export my bookmarks and go back to Unmark and start putting some time back into that project. I think I need to…

Haruki Murakami is incredible. I finished Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage and, although I have no clue how to rate the book, I can’t wait to start another Murakami book.

Old man peeve: when posts begin “this is going to be a long one” (or, similar) and are only a few short paragraphs. A Tolstoy novel is “a long one”. A blog post is probably not.

I just added the generative art music project I've been working off and on for 6 months – Infinite Posters – to my portfolio. I'll continue to add to it as the project progresses and I'm planning a behind-the-scenes blog post soon.

Spring 2022: I'm super busy at the day job, six active customers for the side gig, a freelance project that could start any day, a ton of personal projects that I'd love to spend time on, our garden!, and a (much needed) short vacation…

I'm considering the switch from Google Maps to Apple Maps. It looks like I found an iOS Shortcut to move my Saved Places (from a Google Takeout JSON), though it is going to take a considerable amount of time to do it.

It saddens me when I find a great personal blog that has been abandoned only to find that the person has moved all their publishing onto a social media platform. Go back to your blog! Syndicate your posts!

Stupid tagline ideas: Don't be an idiot. Not nearly as fun as most games. Smartness not required. Irritating, frustrating, humiliating.

I have written code that has saved my employer thousands of human hours and countless dollars. I wasn't hired as a programmer. You don't have to be a programmer to write code. Everyone should consider learning to code.

I would like to connect with more people that make stuff. Software, art, gadgets, blankets, music, it doesn't matter. Please recommend RSS feeds, Twitter, Mastodon, Flickr, YouTube, anything.
