I made it to 4pm without putting my contacts in or changing out of my pj pants but I’m still getting ready for the day for the sole reason of getting to take out my contacts and put my pjs back on in a couple hours. 😝


Sounds like it might be a good idea to wait on upgrading your Mac to macOS Sonoma 14.4.


Trying to install Ruby on macOS Ventura so I can install Jekyll so I can try converting my 1,200 blog posts into a format that Ghost and / or WordPress will slurp up.

This all might make sense to 15% of you? I only understand 65% of the words so it’s ok.


I keep grabbing a portable battery to use as my iPhone in case you’re wondering how I’m doing on 4hrs of sleep. #nightbrain


The Holdovers, 2023 - ★★★★

Another Xmas classic I think.


Do you know how fun it is to try and buy tickets for an event for your kids who don’t have their own cell phone, and have them be able to go without you having to also go? It’s 2-3 hours of Ticketmaster fun.

Messing around with the new blogroll feature on Micro.blog. I wish there was a way to automagically update it from Feedbin stars somehow? I like the idea. I’m not sure if I need another thing to forget to update on my website though.


How anyone can think Musk is some brilliant, intelligent business person is beyond me. Between him and Trump, it feels like the US is on extra crazy pills this year.


Getting to name the shared Dropbox folder is a power move. 😆
