Getting out of bed at 8 am consistently a few days in a row wouldn’t count as an achievement for most people, but it is for me, and I’m pretty proud of myself.

Getting your first PR in before the morning standup is a pretty good feeling 💪
Feeling a bit overwhelmed, so probably not going to make it out tonight. I am going to try to get to the bash tomorrow though!
Ordered one of the new 15” MacBook Pros this week. Went for the 6 core model with a 1TB SSD and 16GB of ram. Feel like that was the right call, but the 32GB option was tempting.
Are there any good learn to draw apps on iPad that I’m not finding? Preferably something that supports Apple Pencil pressure sensitivity?
Getting on a plane to Portland for the weekend. Glad I remembered the Netflix download feature exists. Loaded up the AOC documentary on my iPad for the flight.
If you’re disappointed in Game of Thrones right now and need a new gritty fantasy series to get obsess over, I can highly recommend The Witcher books. They’re fantastic. Hopefully, the show will be good too when it comes out as well.
Has anyone tried any pet GPS trackers, and if so, have one you can recommend? Preferably one that will work for a small dog.
Don’t know what changed but Apple Music’s recommendations have gotten really good for me lately.
Fish is awesome, but mostly I have to share this blog post due to the abundance of puns it contains.

There may be plenty of fish in the sea, but there aren’t any quite like this one.

Found this tool called BitBar which lets you write shell scripts (in any language, since it’s just based off text output) to put anything you want in your menu bar. It’s amazing. They even have a plugin directory on their website. https://getbitbar.com
Wow. MarsEdit is on SetApp now? It’s insane how much you get for $10 a month now.
Speaking of books, I’ve been reading more on Apple Books lately. Next up is Red Shirts by @Scalzi, which neatly was published DRM free on Apple Books.
I finished reading “How Democracies Die” last night. It was a really good book that put some new ideas in my head. Admittedly, it does not get any less terrifying, but I don’t think the goal was ever to make me feel better.
I’m about halfway through “How Democracies Die” by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt. I suggest reading it if you like being terrified by how fragile democratic systems really are.
I don’t know how you do this legislatively, but my Presidential platform would definitely include replacing “no problem” with “you’re welcome” and “have a good one” with “have a nice day.”
So if you’re ever talking to me in person and I touch my ears for no reason, now you know why.
One of my greatest fears is going to an hour long meeting or lunch with a group of people and not realizing until after I had my AirPods in the entire time.
Today I learned only 10% of people have pollen allergies. That means 90% of everyone never has to experience what I’m going through. Fuck those people.
(Not you, of course)
Trying to get into this whole time tracking thing using @TimingApp. It’s pretty impressive! Watching all of the @MacSparky videos about it helped a lot in getting started.
Tip: The editing extension from iMovie is insanely useful for quickly removing sound and adding titles to short videos without leaving Photos.

Starting to feel like soldering things together and just having them not work at all is a critical part of learning electronics.
Ooh. Someone made a Calorie tracking app that looks like some taste went into it. Definitely going to give this a shot. www.macstories.net/reviews/c…
