Notes

Another experiment I’m trying this week: Giving Apple Reminders a shot in place of Things. This one may not stick. The friction to get a reminder entered to my liking quickly is way more effort than Things’ quick entry. We’ll see…

I’m experimenting this week… First: Coffee without sweetener. I’ve been a one Stevia packet guy for years. I’m going to ditch it for straight black coffee. Second: Analog notes in a Field Notes memo book instead of digital notes in Obsidian. Both should be interesting.

Somehow, I suddenly have far more usb-c to lightning cables than I know what to do with.

I’m taking another look at Drafts today. I had a pro subscription a year ago, but I never took the time to really dig into what it was capable of before it lapsed. I’m kind of seeing the potential here, but this is definitely an app I’ll have to RTFM on…

Woah! Broke 10,000 lifetime views as tracked by Tinylytics on my site today thanks to @manton’s boost of my Micro.blog swag post. Not earth shattering news by any means, but it is a nice number to see.

So… Given the Meta news today, I’m 100% done with Zuck’s platforms and will be deleting accounts as soon as I’m home tonight. I think I’m going to ditch Bluesky while I’m at it since I’ve gotten nothing worthwhile out of that one either. Mastodon and Micro.blog is where I’ll be from now on.

It’s such a trip when I browse to a referring site I see in my daily Tinylytics stats and find the site using my mnml theme. Just… Wow. 🤯

My wife, son and I went to a local restaurant to have an early New Year’s Eve dinner. I was happy to see that the 20 or so TVs they had in the establishment were all VIZIO 65“ P-Series models. Thanks to Mama’s on 39 for contributing to my paycheck!

New Year’s Day means three things in the Mitchell house: The Rose Parade on TV, a big bacon and eggs breakfast, and Chili con Carne simmering on the stove. I’m adding a twist this year and smoking a round cut first. I think it’ll add a nice twist to an already family favorite.

Happy New Year all…

Another mnml update to v2.1.1 that gracefully handles a “more” summary break added to content without a post title.
