Though I haven’t read much of it yet, it looks like there are lots of great new features coming up in WordPress 6.5. I’m setting some weekend time aside to get caught up.

I released my newest WordPress plugin, Basic Copyright, on the plugin repository last night. Its sole purpose is to make a dynamic copyright notice available for your theme footer so you don’t have to change the copyright notice yearly. Super simple, but kind of useful.
My 2023 Mac Apps of the Year
My list of the top five Mac apps I used in the past year that made my work easier.
My App Defaults
I wasn’t going to do a post like this… But what the heck, all the cool kids are doing it this week, so why shouldn’t I, right?
A Better AppleScript to Compress Files or Folders
I created an AppleScript that allows you to compress files and folders by simply dropping them onto the applet. A reader asked for a way to archive files and folders based off that post. This was my solution.
iPhone Minimal Dockless Wallpaper for iOS
As someone who ascribes to a minimalist mindset and hates superfluous design, it’s always bugged me that Apple feels iOS needs a dock outline for icons at the bottom of the home screen. So, I decided to make a minimalist iPhone and iPad wallpaper that will cancel out the dock when using iOS dark mode.
Seeing the Forest for the Trees
No matter how well-intentioned we are, sometimes we allow things to sneak into our lives under the guise of it being something important.
We ask “Who else can do this?” Or maybe we tell ourselves “No one else is qualified enough, so I’m the one who has to do it.”
When we start thinking like this, it’s our ego calling the shots. Maybe we want to be the hero, or we worry those who needed us in the past no longer will and that we won’t be their go-to person anymore.
It’s Your First Dreamforce. What Should You Expect?
Yay! It’s your first Dreamforce! You’re pumped to finally be part of the magic. I bet you’ve already looked at a lot of other blogs to learn how to be ready before you landed here. These are some of my recommendations to make it a more memorable experience.
The Ant Mound
One of my earliest childhood memories is traumatic, at least what would seem traumatic to a three-and-a-half-year-old little boy. Though it didn’t turn out to be the end of the world, it sure seemed like a living hell when it happened. I still carry the memory with me a half-century later, so it damaged me on some level.
Memorable Cigarettes
I used to smoke a long time ago. It’s not something I’m proud of, but it is part of who I am. These are a few memories tied to a nasty habit I was able to break.
