Sep 18, 2026 Note Signboard 2.0 will be a line-in-the-sand release. There will be Pro features that are only available to Pro subscribers. The 1.7.x release will always be all free. I'll likely do a release there that removes the commercial license and keeps the tip jar. Stay…
Sep 18, 2026 TIL TIL you can rest a Stroopwafel on top of a mug of coffee or tea to soften it. Why hadn't anyone told me all these years?
Sep 15, 2026 Note Upgraded to OSes 27 yesterday. Siri AI is actually helpful! I thought I'd never see the day. To get the new Siri app on macOS Golden Gate I did need to restart, just FYI. Looks like a solid update so far.
Aug 31, 2026 Note Maggie's August update is worth reading (warning: AI is mentioned, if you're not into that sort of thing.)
Aug 20, 2026 TIL TIL my Tumblog (which reposts my posts from here) turned 17 years old back in March. Tumblr was quite a place in its time. I remember starting The Watercolor Gallery there and it exploding in growth (did you know I'm slowly restoring that website?…
Aug 19, 2026 Note Remember when Threads promised to join the fediverse and totally botched it and made it only one way?
Jul 31, 2026 Note Red Bull's website has a blog post about photography on it (cool!) that says "Blogs aren’t really a thing anymore." (ironic, and not cool!). I'm glad I'm not fond of Red Bull.
Jul 20, 2026 Note There were issues with Signboard's updater on Windows and Linux. Those have now been fixed so if you're running Signboard 1.5.0 or earlier you should be able to update to 1.6.0 now.
Jul 17, 2026 Note Finished reading Meat Eater by Steven Rinella. I enjoy a good outdoor adventure story. Even hunting stories. So often lately the story has become about the gear and the trophy… and the over-hyped energy around a kill. All the wrong reasons to be hunting…
Jun 10, 2026 Note I think WWDC 2026 looked fantastic. Great updates across the board. I have the feeling a lot of people will be installing the public betas. Oh, and I'm glad Shortcuts can be written by an agent. Because this human was terrible at it.
May 23, 2026 Note I'm trying to record a demo video of all of Signboard's features, including those that will ship in version 1.5 (coming soon), and I'm just failing miserably. I'll do it another day. So many great features in this app.
May 13, 2026 Note A wee bug fix release of Signboard 1.4.1 was just released. I am looking forward to writing and sharing more about this app, and how I and others are using it, very soon. My productivity is through the roof.
May 9, 2026 Note Signboard 1.4.0 just shipped and it includes a new Planner workspace that contains the date-based views of Calendar, This Week, and new Day and Agenda views. This allows you to get a bird's eye view of all of your open Boards (or, drill down…
May 5, 2026 Link Bulldozer (best name worst name?), my very simple but rickety PHP script I've used for years to help me move images into yyyy/mm/dd directories based on their creation date, was just updated significantly to be much more reliable and also work very well with…
May 5, 2026 Note Big spike of traffic to my post about making a goal to get bored more often. Boredom is more important than ever.
Apr 30, 2026 Note Highly recommend Fat Gold co-owned by Robin Sloan. Delicious. And the wee guide that comes along with some products is 👌 A few tins of Fat Gold with the "How to use it up" guide
Apr 27, 2026 Note Last week was a big week for agents. I wrote about the agentweb on Tuesday. To compete with Anthropic's managed agents service (which I've used a fair amount at this point and it is quite good) OpenAI released Workspace agents to a few customer…
Mar 26, 2026 Note Small detail in Signboard… as you drag a card it begins to slightly tilt in the direction that you're dragging. Makes me happy. Signboard 1.1.0 is coming tomorrow and it will include curated color themes (so aesthetic) and importing from both Trello and Obsidian….
Mar 24, 2026 Note Signboard has had a hidden secret from the beginning, you can import data from Trello. Starting in 1.1.0, which will ship this Friday, that feature will no longer be hidden. Oh, and you'll also be able to import from Obsidian and its leading community…
