📷 Day 10: Rail.
Something I’m struggling with… After being the problem solver and fixer of things for my family, I now have to take a back seat while others handle what I once did in order to protect my health. It’s incredible how much of a man’s self-worth and esteem is tied up in what he’s able to do…and not do.
I was once rabid for Apple Keynotes of any kind. Not anymore. Eventually, features will be what they will be, love them or hate them. Workflows will adjust one way or another, and we’ll move on. Apple no longer innovates enough to excite me. I do still prefer the platform over alternatives though.

📷 Day 08: Travel.
Widow-Maker
I’m about to embark on one of the gnarliest life-changing journeys that could happen to anyone. This sets the stage for how it started…
Yet Another mnml Update
The latest mnml theme update v2.5.7 introduces three new features: a RSS link toggle in the footer, read time display for titled posts, and dynamic copyright year range that adjusts based on blog post publication years.
📷 Day 07: Switch.
Given the recent turn of events, I’ve decided to accelerate killing off the single-user Mastodon instance I’ve been running apart from Micro.blog and federate from here. I feel good about it. It’s one less thing to worry about right now.
📷 Day 06: Contrast.
Really bad news from my cardiologist today. Five significant cardiac stenoses, which means open heart quintuple quadruple bypass surgery very soon. I’m in shock and it hasn’t sunk in yet. This is warning that it’s going to play out through my blog, so forgive me in advance and unfollow if you’d prefer to.
📷 Day 05: Reflection.
📷 Day 04: Nostalgia.
A much deserved — yet delayed — shout out to @Mtt (and by extension @sod) for proactively reaching out about a category related issue in mnml, which is now fixed. It’s collaboration like this that makes Micro.blog awesome.
📷 Day 03: Shadow.
I’m reconsidering my online presence, yet again. I hopped back on Bluesky not too long ago, and definitely think I don’t need it. I’m also debating the ROI of a Mastodon presence apart from Micro.blog. I’m not sure spending $72 a year is worth what I’m getting from it. 🤔
📷 Day 02: Curve.
📷 Day 01: Tree.
My new Logitech MX Master 3S arrived today. It’s more of a handful than what I’m used to, and it’s a little heavier, but I can see why people rave about it. I’m liking it so far.
A small mnml update on the way (v2.5.5) that adds Chinese (Traditional) localization – props to @bobbytung – and tweaks a couple styles that you won’t even notice.
