A week of less than 10% humidity is wreaking havoc on my hands. They’re dry, scaly, and cold, which is making it hard as heck to type anything. I don’t do lotion often, but I think it’s going to happen today.
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.
Apple Six Color Hello T-Shirt
Since I'm on the topic of t-shirts and swag, I just published a new design on Cotton Bureau of my take on the classic Mac "hello" graphic with the retro Apple six color palette.
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.
Unoffically Official Micro.blog Swag
If you've missed my previous posts about the Unofficially Official Micro.blog swag available on Cotton Bureau, here they are all in one place.
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.
AppleScript to Generate Strong Passwords
I'd totally forgotten I wrote this AppleScript until I needed to create a strong password this morning. If you're a Mac user and need to generate unique strong passwords, give this script a try.
