We went out to see Big Pete this afternoon. Need to make a trip to Raleigh to see some of the others.

I have an Apple Watch Ultra 1 but have been using my Garmin Fenix 8 for over a year for #running and day to day. It’s buggy. It’s laggy. I have not been happy with it. I have to wear a HR strap for accurate HR during runs. The buttons, battery and flashlight are what keeps me with the Fenix. I’m intrigued by the Ultra 4 but not sure I want always listening.

I’ve been on #omnifocus for many years. Has anyone moved to #thing3 and thrived? I’ve tried before and quickly end up back in OmniFocus. Slow sync and bugs are driving me nuts.

There is no method to my madness
But there is a lot of madness to my method

Friday night watching the Phillies, drinking 🍷 and setting up #mu4e in #emacs pushed over the edge by @pymander and @jameshowell

Actually surprised I've never gone down this rabbit hole despite using emacs for decades.

Handwritten notes in the time of AI note takers

The best project management tool is still a pen, plus the discipline to notice what the machine cannot. Wisdom from Lucas Radke.

I’ve been using Reeder for my RSS feeds for a long time but it has a weird font rendering issue I can’t fix so I’m looking at what else to try. What are you using on Mac and iOS? #rss

It’s been a while since I really used #obsidian so I setup a fresh vault. About 30 files, two small images in one file and only one plugin (minimal theme settings). The iOS app is laggy AF. It loads faster than I remember but scrolling docs is just plain laggy.

Cool AF: a design archive of design archives, ℅ creative director/artist David Sizemore. Get lost in space exploration logos, chrome lettering, comix, flyers, matchbox art, more!

Bartender 6 was released and it’s a 40% off upgrade. Considering how much of a mess bartender 5 was and basically unusable on Tahoe I will not give them any of my dollars. 6 should be a free-sorry-we-fucked-you upgrade.

God damn, this is a good read!!

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house
The AC is running,
Because it’s 75 damn degrees today.

Wtf

Excellent talk about Zettelkasten in #emacs #denote from @ctietze at emacs conf this weekend.

I’ve used mackup for years to manage my dotfiles and never really liked it (I’ve been burnt) but haven’t had motivation to change until this week. Starting the transition tonight. I didn’t want to mess with ruby gems so I’m using dotbot which is nice - python and simple yaml config.

I wonder if I’m in the minority that I do not like windowed apps on the iPad.

Really pissed at myself for not waiting on MacOS Tahoe. It’s a buggy piece of shit. I think this might be my last mac when my MPB is tired (or sooner).
