Time to switch it up. My backup pen ran out of ink. Jinhao 159 Orange (F) with Noodlers North African Violet. #fountainpen

Habits are just reactions to either internal or external stimuli. #life

Good morning. It’s another week, another chance to mess up. Time for the ceremonial coffee. #micro_blog

Hm Safari has user profiles now. Wish other Apple apps did. Good way to split work from play. #wwdc #safari

You can do this with any reminders list now. I just wanted to see if I could do Kanban. #wwdc #reminders

Reminders now has a save as template functionality. So you can create a Kanban template and have a Kanban for each project. #wwdc #kanban #reminders

Re the previous post. Sorry. That’s the Reminders app, not the Notes app ;) I guess I edited the post too late. The only excuse I have is I’m working on 3 hours sleep again. #wwdc #reminders #kanban

This is cool! I just played around with Reminders app in iOS 17. Look what I was able to make. Reminders is even more powerful now. #ios #wwdc #notes

Time to switch it up. 3D printed 1.1mm with Colorverse Stars and Stripes #fountainpen

Have meaningful adventures.

Got a great review of “The Singular Case of the Three Witches” from a reader on Mastodon. https://www.amazon.com/review/R1FT71ZMPB0PIU/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8 #books #watson

“It’s a tool only if it doesn’t do your thinking for you.” — future proverb I just made up

It’s interesting, in a horrifying way, that most articles and blogs on writing are now pushing the use of “AI”. #writing #failure #ai

I was thinking of smoking some ribs tomorrow, but I don’t think the planet could take it.

Seems there are a lot of YouTube videos based on ”Put this stuff in this other junk and you won’t be sorry.” Seems like either a disaster or lawsuit waiting to happen. #clickbait

“Stick an arm down your own throat and pull out all your flaws.” #writing #throwawayline

The new predictive text / autocorrect seems to throw an extra s at the end of words. #wwdc

Another example of Shakespaerean era words. “Boarding” comes from the wooden plank, or board on which you entered a vessel. We also come by “chairman of the board”, “board game”, and other such words from the same origin. #writing

Lol. A guy decided to tell me his life story. He wasn’t even drunk. And he claimed he was an insurance salesman. Riiiight.

Gratuitouss fish taco pic.

If you can’t have fun, someone else will at your expense.

Back up your work. I always take a photo of each page of writing from my notebooks. When i transcribe something, I commit my writing to my own git server. #writing
