Happy National Unfriend Day. Isn’t it time to declutter your life on Bird?

Hello. Your mood when you wake up tends to set the mood for the day. Wake up happy. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Hm. Just had a weird idea: The 12 Books of Christmas. I wonder what they would be. (Religious books need not apply.) #books #reading

Back in my day, you could get a free paper map at gas stations. We didn’t have GPS. We had to use the stars to navigate.

OK. Another daily target hit. Phew! Time to rest up for tomorrow.

Time for a quick break. I wish I had a cookie.

Plan for tomorrow: iOS editing drive to Philcon write

I’m still writing today. I took a couple of hours to do some light reading. It’s been a slow writing day. I need another 1K to hit my goal. If I want to prove to myself that I can hit 100K, I need to write through the times I don’t feel like writing. #writing #nanowwimo

Space is Where the Money Is, And Goes

So, I’m all for science and trying new things. But the money “to go to space” to massage billionaires’ egos is a waste. The money would be better off paying taxes or solving problems at home. But, that’s apparently not exciting enough for the billionaires. Oh right, they’ll be the first to leave the …

I need a break from the story. I think I’ll read something useless for a bit. I’m at about 2K words for the day. #writing #nanowrimo

Well, this is a new “feature” in iOS. Safari, crashing web tabs. They must have added a timer to expire web page content, or something. 16.2b+ #iPadOS

How much of an ego does a person need to consider themselves “The Queen of Christmas?” This is a rhetorical question.

Gah! It’s 3PM already, and I’ve only managed a little over 1K words. Need to pump up the jam. #writing

I’m taking a short break to think about where the story needs to go next. I’ve hit a point I hadn’t considered hitting and now I need a way to move things forward. #writing

You will never become a better writer/truck driver/doctor/whatever by tearing down another person or their work. And just because you can doesn’t mean you should. #life #failure

I believe food is an appropriate substitute for noon.

Any ad that promises “Hours of Fun” for a toy, be it for your kid or pet, really just means your cat will love the box. #marketing

It’s time to settle into writing mode. This is the hard bit. After writing 50K, today seems like a brand new NaNoWriMo with half the time again. I’m already feeling tired. Push on. Push through. Push to greatness! Or something like that. #writing

Ha! I knew there was a way. XCode tip: You know all those tabbed windows you have open? You can close all but one by clicking the “x” close button on that tab you want to keep while holding down the Option key. #xcode #mac #ios #swift #swiftui

Happy Have a Party With Your Bear Day … yes, it’s a thing.

So. Growing up. Where you a nerd, geek, jock, or bully. How have you changed? #life

Fixing a couple of things in the SwiftUI version of my writing app, before pounding words into it’s tiny little brain. #writing #ios

XCode gurus. Is there a way to turn off autogeneration of SwiftUI preview code? I never use previews, and i’m getting tired of deleting it. Tnx. #xcode #swiftui #apple

The Bird site is falling apart. I requested my archive weeks ago. When I got a response and downloaded it, the archive was empty. Second attempt, they couldn’t verify my phone number, so I couldn’t log back in to download it. 3rd time’s a charm? Doubt it.
