Notes

I love the process of setting up a new workstation from scratch as I slowly figure out which apps I rely on for my day to day workflows.

I had check-ins with two different doctors today who both pronounced me in fantastic shape. It’s only been five months since my heart surgery, but I can barely remember it now. I think clouding memories like that is the mind’s way of healing from the trauma.

There is someone, or some bot out of Singapore that’s hitting URLs on my site from a very old index (we’re talking 10 years ago) nearly every day. I wish there was a way to block this behavior on Micro.blog.

My wife and I are heading to Houston, TX for a nephew’s wedding. I’m more excited about going to a blues club tonight than anything else. It’ll be great to see what the scene is like there as opposed to the west coast “LBZ”.

With the recent update to NetNewsWire, I thought I might move my RSS feed syncing from BazQux to iCloud. So far it’s been impressively responsive and always seems to be up to date when browsing feeds on my four different devices. That’s $30 saved a year.

I’ve begun reading the next installment in the Bosch universe: Trunk Music by Michael Connelly 📚. I think I remember this episode from the Amazon series. We’ll see how well they align.

One of the many paradoxes of San Francisco: Homeless drug addicts curled up on sidewalks while tech bros whiz by them in autonomous Waymo ride service cars…

Finished: The Last Coyote by Michael Connelly 📚 This one had a lot of twists… I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now to wait for the next installment to become available.

I find myself using the Raycast AI features (or AI in general) to perform web searches far more often than I use regular search engines like DDG anymore. I like that I can ask follow up questions on the results to refine what I’m looking for versus scrolling through search results. Anyone else?
