Fun Wordle method: Tell a bunch of friends to start with the same word. Levels the playing field and is a true competition for the day.

The Mac Studio looks like a fantastic product at every level. Great name, super powerful, great design, great price. And the display! If I wasn't a laptop person, I'd be buying both right now.

Discord and Slack are yet another silo. By all means have chats, but bring some of the content out to your blog!

This weekend I cooked a smoked barbecue dinner, painted, read, worked in the darkroom, shopped w/ Eliza, got in the hot tub, ice skated, etc. Guess what I didn't do? Look at any social media. Over 60 days now. Feels good.

Scripted a quick security cam process on the Ubuntu laptop for outdoor cameras I plan to setup. Takes a photo every few seconds from multiple cameras. Now to find some POE IP cameras.

Both Cypress and Red Oak are now available as Micro.blog plugins. I'm planning on updating both to work with WordPress 5.9's new site editing feature in the near future.

I'm still experimenting with Ubuntu via a virtual machine. Unlike macOS, core OS updates are very quick to install. It is refreshing. I think I'm ready to install it on an old laptop and, maybe, use it for a week for fun.

Pocket Casts must have had a bad sync because all of my old subscriptions just popped back up. NO. GET OUT OF HERE POCKET CASTS!

Mastodon.social seems super slow this morning. Is this really because Jack stepped down as Twitter CEO? Or coincidental?

Sponsorship of The Watercolor Gallery is now booked through January. After 10+ years of curating the gallery I'm glad I started sponsorship this year. If you'd like to support the gallery monetarily you can sponsor or donate.

I miss spaghetti code. Frameworks, structure, unit testing, documentation… so boring!

Did some work on The Watercolor Gallery today with new features, spruced up some old paintings, updated the about page, added a donate page, and a bunch more.

Short posts, links, photos, and working notes.
