Hairdid booked for Monday. For now we spike it to let my head breath in the summer heat. 😆

Happy “still have internet access but might have a tornado” hour is here. And one way or another, I’m going to see Thor: Love and Thunder tonight.

You keep using that word… “A moist unstable air mass in the vicinity of a low pressure system currently situated over the North Battleford region…”

As a Christian kid of the late 80’s / early 90’s, I love reading the non-religious perspective on things like skateboarding in church parking lots. 😆

This is my kind of gamification of fitness: You Can Walk the Oregon Trail With Apple Arcade App Update That Integrates With Health App

Accidentally switched our thermostat into “heat only” mode this morning - which was a great way to test out how long I could keep my podcast editing headphones on while sweating out of my ears.

After camping for 6 nights, I’ll never take my shower or bed for granted again. 😆

I don’t understand how churches aren’t working on the Truth and Reconciliation recommendations in their own way. Mine included.

Why is the harmonic timeless, but synths and keyboards fall in and out of fashion so quickly? (Don’t mind me - just going through Tom Petty’s music.)

Is there a way to turn off Twitter for iOS’ takeover of audio whenever you switch to the app? It’s annoying to have to restart music just because you want to toot.

How are you so creative, smart, and funny? It’s exhausting trying to keep up with you all.

I’m really enjoying messing around with Raycast - a bit of a Spotlight / Alfred replacement? Something about it really clicks with my brain in a way that Alfred and similar apps never did. I know I’m barely scratching the surface of it’s usage though.

One person humbles themselves for the long term good of an org and the community, meanwhile another person sucks the org dry of $$ and will be gone in a year.

What would Jesus do, I wonder? 🤔

Any Eleventy (or JSON?) nerds help a newb out one last time? I want to create a JSON file off my Eleventy based blog including the full content of every post on my site to use as an import. Here’s what I have so far.

IMHO $0.02CAD - stop hunting for a Twitter alternative and set yourself up an account (and blog if you want) with Micro.blog. Cross post to Twitter for now while it’s still standing, but build your internet home elsewhere.

If you haven’t already heard about the latest from the 🇺🇸 hearings, the summary on today’s The Daily is worth a listen just to understand how bonkers things were on January 6th.

Managed to thread the needle of getting the tent trailer to the mechanic’s and back for a spring check up without getting rained on today which I consider a win. 🏆🍻

iOS tip: If you’re taking a photo you’re going to be sharing with someone else, make sure to shout loudly while taking the photo on the off chance they view the live photo version.

I unlocked something in my brain today about how I could use @Microblog to post and publish my blog at, ditching the Eleventy / Netlify combo which is too complex for a woeful nerd like me. Just need to sort out how to import all my blog posts in? 🤔

HandMirror for macOS is one of those apps I would totally use a lot, if I could just remember to actually use it when I need it.

(It’s a menubar app that pops up a quick view of your camera so you can check your hair before a Zoom or Riverside call.)
