Very strange… I start up and login to the work laptop, launch all the apps, and there’s not one email, Teams chat or Slack message waiting for me.

Ooh… How about being able to set more than one category for the mnml home page, like, maybe, Posts AND Photos, but omit others? I’ll neither confirm or deny you might be seeing this here already. You be the judge.
I chose to wear an analog watch today instead of Apple Watch and can honestly say I’ve not even noticed a difference.
Giving some hard thought on whether I should move my Fediverse presence to Micro.blog entirely, or keep the additional Mastodon server. I’ve interacted tons with the MB community lately, but barely looked at Mastodon. It’s a conundrum…
Just bought tickets to see Billy Idol and Joan Jett in September. Should be an awesome show.
Exception: Illegal Instruction – The Sad Mac T-Shirt
A t-shirt for those who used the Mac Classic and Mac SE from days of old. You likely saw this error when booting up at least once or twice.
Available for purchase on Cotton Bureau.
I somehow discovered The Chats on YouTube and now they’re one of my favorite punk bands.
😅 Whew… I just added a ton of content to the mnml demo site. Undoubtedly there are typos and grammatical errors to be fixed…
I just love, love, love working with Finance people at the day job (NOT!). In their quest to account for a single penny difference, we’ve already wasted a hundred dollars (or more) in people’s salaries.
Speaking of productivity… I’m trying out focus modes on my devices after listening to episode 780 of the Mac Power Users podcast a few days ago. It’s great to not be distracted at work unnecessarily. I’ve set the mode to automatically activate and deactivate by geofence around the office.
I’ve been trying different ways of working with Apple Reminders for task management over the last week. I think I’ve found what works best for me and will blog about it once I’ve smoothed the edges a bit. Loving the Apple Calendar integration. I guess that makes me more of a defaults guy now.
Well I’ll be dipped… USPS found my package and dropped it off just now. It’s a positive note to end an otherwise meh day.
😡 Good old USPS… Totally mis-delivered my Field Notes order. That’s $50 down the drain. I have zero faith the wrong recipient will do the right thing, and USPS will simply say “but, it’s delivered…”
I have a sickness… When I see something misaligned by even one or two pixels in one of my designs, it will drive me absolutely nuts until I can fix it. I’m too much of a perfectionist.
“Pretty is something to be observed. Beauty is something to be admired.” – My wife as she and I were talking about Melania Trump.
She’s spot on… The woman may be pretty, but she’s far from beautiful.
