Alright, y’all. Tomorrow’s photo challenge has been queued. It’s time for this dude to go offline and head outside to be thankful for a beautiful day and the many blessing I have. I’ll be back in a couple of weeks. ✌🏻❤️
Thoughts
Quick notes, scattered ideas, and candid updates from whatever’s on my mind.
Of course, me being me, I’m wrestling with the urge of spinning up a self-hosted, single-user Mastodon instance again. I’m kind of missing it. I think I’ll sit on that idea for a month and see how I feel about it at the end of July.
📷 Day 29: Winding.
📷 Day 28: Ephemeral.
I just spun up a virtualization of macOS 26 Tahoe with UTM. I have to say I’m not as taken aback by the new look as I thought I was going to be. There are still some things to explore, however…
📷 Day 27: Collective.
Today is my last day in the office for almost three months. I’ve turned over all my duties to others and cleaned the junk out of my desk. In a way, it almost feels like I’m leaving to go somewhere else. It’s kind of a strange feeling.
📷 Day 26: Bridge.
I just brewed a cup of coffee without putting my mug under the filter. Nice. Clearly, I’m a little distracted today…
I’ve begun cross-posting to my original Mastodon.social account again. If you want to connect over there, give a follow. Yeah, I just couldn’t stay away from Mastodon…
📷 Day 25: Decay.
📷 Day 24: Bloom.
📷 Day 23: Fracture.
📷 Day 22: Hometown.
📷 Day 21: Silhouette.
📷 Day 20: Gather.
Since we’re on the topic of Punk, I think I’m going to start a new band once I’m recovered. I miss playing music to a live crowd, and I have a feeling my creative priorities will have a shift over the next few months. This one is filed away for later action…
📷 Day 19: Equal.
Dammit! The day job has started blocking the Raycast app store and AI capabilities. I may as well go back to LaunchBar at this point. Friggen' security theater makes it so hard to get things done…
📷 Day 18: Texture.
I threw together a really simple Micro.blog plugin to automatically open external links in a new browser tab or window by adding a “_blank” target link attribute via Javascript. If you could use something like it, go install it from the plugin directory.
📷 Day 17: Warmth.
📷 Day 16: Blur.
One final mnml theme update (v2.5.8) for a while. This one tweaks more css and optimizes a couple of templates. Nothing major, really. Just simple things I felt needed to be done. You should be able to update soon if not already.
📷 Day 15: Tie.
I had the strangest dream last night… The frames of the glasses I usually wear suddenly became brittle and just crumbled in my hands. I couldn’t see anything after and was trying to figure out how to fix them. Could there be some kind of symbolism in it? I have no idea what it could be if there is.
📷 Day 14: Twilight.
Hmm… iPadOS 26 with a Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse makes for a decent portable setup. This post published with that setup and it does not suck.
📷 Day 13: Pathway.
I am down to just three flagged action item emails in my inbox at the day job. I should be able to knock them all out this afternoon. I’ve also lined up transition meetings with the relevant teams for today. This should make the next two weeks a light load.
