Debating if I want to take Linefeed paid or have it be a thing I let people use who ask. Content moderation is a lot of responsibility and I’m not sure it’s a game I want to be in. If I want to charge money, there are plenty of things I can do that don’t require me to do that.
Listening to this podcast episode about Beanie Babies and they sound like NFTs, the comic book bubble, and probably half a dozen other things I don’t remember. People keep falling for this. Now I wonder if the mid 2000s housing bubble was the ultimate expression of this.
Part of me has considered basic analytics for my websites, but not knowing is nice too. I was shocked and delighted when I saw someone say title.love was their most delightful title casing tool.
The aforementioned Hobonichi cover.
One gold star! I’m a real programmer 😂 Interested to see how challenging these Advent of Code questions get, and also how quickly.
I’ll be checking out the Hanami web framework for Ruby for the first time on stream tomorrow at 3:30pm PST by going through their “getting started” tutorial. Sign up to be alerted, or just show up tomorrow using this YouTube link.
If I hear someone talk about how the Greatest Generation stormed the beaches of Normandy, and younger generations need safe spaces to protect their feelings, I point out that they had safe spaces too and that it was called segregation. Why do you think suburbs exist grandpa?
This booster shot is really messing me up. Hoping I feel better tomorrow.
I’ll keep crossposting, but I’m going to start avoiding Twitter. I don’t want to share a platform with Donald Trump. I remember 2015-2020, and it fucking sucked. If you do, no shade, but I’ll pass. Find me on Mastodon, Micro.blog, or Linefeed. DM for iMessage.
People are like, “you know CBD/THC/Adderall/caffeine are DRUGS, right!?“
Yeah, I know. I’m also pretty excited to see what psilocybin (mushrooms) can do for me when it becomes medically legal in January.
I just made a hot ale flip, which is a colonial era rum drink and holy shit it’s good. Recommended. Here is the recipe I used.
The fact that you use tell application … with SOAP and XML-RPC services in AppleScript and get back response dictionaries as though you were talking to an app on your machine must have made being a Mac user who was into this stuff in like 2005 incredibly cool.
Picked up this bottle of “Just Rum” made in nearby Sandy Oregon. It came with its own challenge coin, which is kind of fun. The back of the bottle goes into detail about it being colonial style and how it could have been made with technology from the 1600s. Neat. 🥃
I almost forgot this place existed, but really happy to remember you can get tortas in #Portland at Guero at NE 28th and Davis.
Perez won this. I parroted the line after 2016 about 538’s model that “one in three is a pretty good chance, actually!” Really though, we need to stop paying attention to election modeling websites. They aren’t good and Nate Silver and similar are not helping anyone.

If you were going to give someone who hasn’t used one before a fountain pen as a gift, up to ~$100, what would you choose? 🖋️
I’m thinking of dropping using the Trix editor that comes with #Rails and moving everything to Markdown. I like that it’s easy and a nice editor, but I also foresee it being a continual pain in the ass if I want to support editing off the website itself.
If you’d like to keep up with what I’m doing with my blogging site, Linefeed, I’ve created a News blog, which you can subscribe to, where I’ll be posting updates as I add new features or when the site becomes publically available. https://news.linefeed.app
Alright Vancouver and Southwest Washington, I know I give you a lot of shit, but you elected Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a Democrat, to congress, so I’m going to give you a break for the time being. You did good, nerds.
I wonder if there are people in Twitter right now who think everything is great and just really believe in Elon or if 95% of them are miserable. If so, someone needs to tell them about “quiet quitting.” Even if you need the check you don’t have to work this hard for a sociopath.
I have not been able to get to my photos on Mac since upgrading to Ventura, and I have no idea how I can fix it.
Low-key, I think screencasts are so popular because it’s a lot easier to monetize than a blog where you walk someone through the steps to complete a task with minimal fluff, and you can just go off the cuff for the most part and do minimal editing.
I heard Mar-a-Lago is in the required hurricane evacuation zone, and Trump refuses to leave.
Listen, Poseidon, god of the sea, I’ve never asked you for anything before…
I think I’ve confirmed stimulant medications which raise your resting heart rate have a significant effect on your VO2 max estimation from Apple Watch. In the four days I haven’t taken them, it’s gone up a little each time I measure and nearly 1.5 points so far.
