After receiving some glowing recommendations for the Logitech MX Master 3S For Mac online and getting a comprehensive review by email (thank you, @luxury_format), I dropped the cash for one. I’m hoping it lives up to the hype, y’all…

This post walks through how I’m using Phosphor icons for the Mastodon, Github and Search navigation links on my blog using the mnml theme.

Along with duct tape and Velcro, I think one of man’s greatest inventions has to be the zip tie.

My new Keychron keyboard arrived today. After just 10 minutes of use, I’m 100% a mechanical keyboard convert… Now I need a good mouse to pair it with. Any recommendations? I’ve been using an Apple Magic Mouse forever.

And finally, all six sets of Phosphor Icons for Micro.blog have been made available as plugins. That’s it. I’m done flooding your timeline for the day, maybe…

Hot on the heels of last night’s mnml release, I’ve made some additional updates to fix some category related class output and add styling for the <figure> and <figcaption> html elements. Version 2.5.4 is the latest.

Another mnml Release

The latest mnml theme update brings compatibility with the Micro.blog for macOS preview feature, and introduces icon support for navigation and titles, meaning you can now personalize your blog with Fontawesome and Phosphor Icons, making your design more dynamic and engaging.

It’s been a minute, so for the new folks… Here’s the semi-irregular reminder that a Micro.blog t-shirt is available for purchase here.

I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of dumb watches lately. Today’s wrist check from my very small collection is the Bulova New American Clipper style automatic 96C130. Classic and simple for my minimalist tastes.

I’m working on a series of Micro.blog plugins to add the different Phosphor Icon Sets to your Micro.blog site. The first plugin for the “Regular” set is available now. More sets coming soon. A post how to use the icons will come in a few days.

I think I’ve found just about the most perfect Lofi Jazz station on Apple Music there ever was…

It can be frustrating how quickly the best laid task management plans can go awry because a seemingly simple little thing turns into a big gnarly thing. Today is shot. Officially moving all scheduled tasks to tomorrow…

Trying something different… I’m going to set my personal Mastodon instance aside for a bit and just use Micro.blog with its Fediverse features over the next few weeks to see if I like it better. If you saw me follow you from my dot-org domain, it’s legit.

The office has been watching the Big Bear eagle nest cam on the open space TV since before the chicks hatched. The juveniles are now about to fledge. Whenever one of them tests their wings, the whole office pauses to see if this the time that one leaves the nest. 🦅

I finally found the cable to my Garmin Instinct watch. It’s been so long, I’ve forgotten how to operate the darned thing. I hope the battery isn’t toast by sitting uncharged for so long…

A mnml Micro.blog theme update just dropped adding some cool features that have been requested by a few users…

I had an English Literature teacher my senior year of high school named King Wisdom (no joke!) who’s class you could pass by bringing him Rolos (also, no joke). Personally, I did not bring him Rolos, but I do think of what a character he was whenever I partake of them myself.

Thankfully, we’ve recovered from my hasty settings change day before yesterday.

Every now and then I forget my own rule to the rest of the team: Test in a sandbox, test it again as a user, then test once more as a different user before promoting it.

I caused myself way too much stress with this one…
