Microposts
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? ๐ค
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 ๐บ๐ธ 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. ๐๐ป
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? ๐ค
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.)
Some days while running my own business I wish I had a manager to tell me what to do next. Especially when I have a head cold that makes everything feel foggy.
Can I hire someone to come tell me what to do? But still be the owner somehow? ๐
Couldn’t sleep at 4am this morning so decided to watch the first 4 episodes of Barry. I’m a sucker for dark humor at the best times - even more so when parts of life are a stress ball.
Some days I feel like I need a smoke break after getting my family out the door to school / work in the morning.
“I don’t have a lunch!” “I forgot to put my clothes in the dryer!” “Where are my glasses?” “If I’m late again my teacher is going to call you!” ๐ช๐
If I buy an M1 Mac, does Final Cut Pro support adding chapter markers without stopping the playback like Logic Pro can? Because itโd be nice to be able to drop a marker as someone asks a question, but then be able to hear the question?
Glad to see Ecamm Live finally getting it’s due from macOS nerds. It’s really come into it’s own as a fully featured macOS live streaming / screen recording app. You can try it out for free.
Good morning specifically to those of you who take a crust for the team. The rest of your family “hates the crust pieces”. You’re sacrifice everything and eat the crust pieces so your family doesn’t have to feel like they’re being wasteful by throwing the crust out. ๐
At a restaurant last night we mentioned to our server that the fries were really good. He replied with “Yeah I know! They’re from Costco!” ๐
Chris Coyierโs travel blog makes me never want to travel again. ๐ณ (Kids + passports is a stressful combo.)
Seems like WordPress (dot com)’s pricing changes could be a way to point people who want to “just blog” to sign up for Tumblr?
