@AlexWolfe @maique I shed my last “unnecessary” domain once it expires in less than 24 hours…

I go past this sign everyday when I take a walk at work and think about my mom. She worked for Alcorn 35+ years ago. Mom’s been gone for 10 years now, but she’s still on my mind daily…

@AlexWolfe I can see why, and yes, orange is the color you’d want. 😉

@AlexWolfe 😬 You’re putting me on the spot here, Alex… Counting smart watches, I think it’s 16 (new one makes 17), but a third of them have dead batteries. This purchase was funded by my “freelance” account which is solely my play money, so I’m in no danger of the CEO’s wrath - I hope.

After much mental deliberation, I pulled the trigger on a Casio G-Shock GW-5000U-1 watch. I hope it lives up to my expectations. I absolutely love my DW-5600E.

@AlexWolfe The picture doesn’t do it justice at all… it was pretty striking IRL.

@macpsych Ouch! So sorry! I did the same in my mid-twenties, injuring it bad enough that it almost needed surgery. I spent weeks on crutches instead. It still bothers me sometimes. Hope you heal up fast…

📷 I managed to catch a full end-to-end rainbow coming out of the dentist office yesterday afternoon…

This image shows a vibrant rainbow arching across a gray sky over a row of lush, green trees in a parking lot. The foreground features a large, well-rounded tree canopy with smaller palm trees in the background on the left. A silver SUV is parked in the lower left, and a modern, low-rise building sits on the right. The scene suggests a light rain or after-rain atmosphere with diffused sunlight.

Bummer… Carrot says it’s going to start raining during my lunch walk time. That’s okay. I’ve been awake since 1:30am and don’t have the gas for it anyway…

My RSS VibeReader project turned out pretty much how I wanted it to, and I learned a lot. I use it daily to read certain feeds. But, now that it’s done, I need a new “something” to put my energy into. I think I need to start a podcast and learn all about that now. Searching for a subject…

@maique Great to see you back in the saddle, pardner.

Me: Spend 45 minutes in a Slack thread explaining to them why a thing can't be done.

Them: Okay I guess. If you think of something, let me know.

Me: 🫠

@matt_birchler Likewise. I find it more annoying than useful, TBH.

@AlexWolfe Truth. Not bald, but for sure a lot more grey…

@AlexWolfe By trusting the consultants, who are supposed to know more than me, too much on this one. 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you leave ways for a user to shortcut your application, thinking they'll never find it, you're 100% wrong. They wll find it every single time and make it known to others. Ask me how I know…
