Back in January, I decided to try Raycast Pro for a year and, after nine months, I’m committed to renewing. Its AI features have come to help validate some of my development decisions and answer questions. Plus it replaces several standalone apps, making the price worthwhile to me.
I’ve gotta say, after a few days, I am not regretting moving my Fediverse presence back to Micro.blog. I think it’s going to stick this time.
It’s always super-dangerous when I go to the watch shop. I went to get a battery replaced in my wife’s Bulova and was so close to walking out with a new Citizen Promaster Dive watch…
A new version of mnml has been released that addresses a few items…
an aroma that speaks of the changing seasons - things
“You know the smell. It’s there every time the first fat raindrops hit the ground—a distinctive, earthy scent that suffuses the air, an aroma that speaks of the changing seasons and promises relief from stifling summer heat. There’s a name for the smell of rain, too: “petrichor,” a poetic portmanteau of the Greek words “petros” (stone) and “ichor” (the blood of the gods in Greek mythology).”
Some thoughts about becoming a full-fleged sexagenarian. I can see it’s time for some things to change.
My first “hike” post-CABG is in the books…
Rather than a simple walk around the neighborhood for exercise today, I’m actually getting out on a real hiking trail, even if it’s classified as easy with very little elevation gain. It’s time to get some dust on the trail runners again…
Okay… I pulled the trigger on moving my Fediverse presence back to Micro.blog. If you followed me on my “dot social” instance, you should have been automatically moved here. I’m going to try hard to keep it this way. ✌🏻
I woke up a couple hours earlier than usual today, so I spent the time reorganizing my Obsidian vault and tweaking my OmniFocus setup.
I feel accomplished.
The date has been set for my TCAR surgery. Of course it’s the Wednesday before the Monday I was supposed to return to work. That means I’ll have to take a little extra time off for recovery. Dang it! I’m so ready to get back to the day job already.
I’m in a “simplify all the things” state of mind, which means I’m once again giving serious thought to moving my Fediverse (Mastodon) presence back to Micro.blog and spinning down my single user instance… 🤔
📷 Clouds
After a day of coding and house chores, it’s time to fire up the smoker to try a new smoked chicken recipe.
Life is good…
I added a cool new pinned post feature to mnml that keeps the latest post in a category of choice pinned to the top of your home page…
📷 The beach was not as busy as we thought it would be today…
I was a little bored today, so I made some mnml updates…
I started wearing my Apple Watch more over the last couple of weeks to track cardio rehab efforts.
I realized this morning I’ve become a Slave to the Rings™ yet again…
It’s time (unintended pun) to put it away and go back to wearing a “real” watch.
I made some mnml related updates to both the theme and archive by year plugin that alphabetizes archive page categories and adds better styling for the archive year select menu.
I’m giving Zen Browser another spin today…
