I started using Obsidian on December 21 and I've managed to add something to it every day since, even if only just a journal entry. It's really fun to watch it slowly fill with thoughts, and I think I'm more keen to take notes on whatever ideas are in my head than I was before this was in front of me.
My local Dunkin has installed digital kiosks since last I visited. I wasn't going to use them, but the cashier cheerily invited me to do so, then watched while I struggled through the interface. I had to scroll to the donuts and then the kind I wanted wasn't even there, so she said "just choose anything, what would you like?" And then I was ordering with the computer and the human simultaneously. Also the touch screen felt gross.
Computers are bad but maybe this is what I deserve for frequenting a Dunkin in Los Angeles, City of Donut Shops
Today we saw Death of a Salesman starring Wendell Pierce and Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man & the Pool starring Mike Birbiglia. Both were terrific and in very different ways, if you can believe it!
We experienced Andrew Schneider's Now Is When We Are today, I was overwhelmed and started crying multiple times. In a good way! It hit a lot of the same themes as Arrival which happen to be some of my favorite themes.
The first use case for browser extensions that's actually making me consider, for a moment, moving away from Safari, is that I can't scrobble from Bandcamp
I was a few months behind on publishing photos but they're all here now. Well now I have some more but there's a lot here now. Okay thank you
Have you ever looked at yourself in a really clean mirror and thought “wow this is so HD”
I migrated a couple apps from Heroku to Fly because they made it really easy, but the migration was not sufficient to be able to deploy changes to those apps, and I SIMPLY refuse to learn enough about Docker to make this work, so those apps will never be updated again
The closer I get to successfully producing and consuming ActivityPub streams from my blog, the less I care about it! Maybe I don't need my silly little thoughts to be interactive!
Hey I just stood up Mastodon (or more specifically Hometown) locally and it wasn't so hard! What a relief. Now I can actually test whether my personal site can interact with Mastodon.
For those of you who chart the weather by my watch band: I switched from nylon to leather today so now it is cold (somewhere)
The way EMMA Cooperative works, as explained in this recent blog post, is so inspiring to me. I hope they last a very long time!

A couple times a day I water the vegetable beds and spray vinegar on the weeds. Making sure the good plants are wet and the bad plants are dry. Feels like there's a metaphor here but I'm not going to look for it!
Sometimes it's important to ask yourself: do you want to create a mysterious open-world RPG or do you just want to play Link's Awakening again?
I have released some proper music! I'm happy with it, I hope you'll be happy with it too. Stream or download Walkers EP right now for free! Thanks! Bye!
