I lol’d when I saw this dropdown menu in an official Apple app
Gave me the blues and then purple pink skies
I took my MacBook on the boat with the hope that the solution to a bug I’ve been trying to solve all day would magically reveal itself — but no 😔
I specifically sought out this toothpaste because its branding is nice. But, it’s also one of the few options that don’t have SLS while still having fluoride.
It’s a good toothpaste, but $7 for a relatively small tube is not so great.
It turns out you can get a month of Peacock for $2 as a student! This is much better than what I did the last Olympic games, which involved some — let’s say — less-than-recommended methods of watching.

Probably a good time to short Amazon (not financial advice)
@manton I bought a pair of in-ear wired headphones a while back because my AirPods Pro started to suffer from the known crackling issue. I've been really happy with using them.
Still, I frequently use my AirPods for convenience, just never for intentful music listening.

I love waking up to the smell of a new LLM release
I spent the past 20 minutes trying to recite the bridge from I Love You, I’m Sorry by Gracie Abrams:
You were the best but you were the worst
As sick as it sounds, I loved you first
I was a dick, it is what it is
A habit to kick, the age-old curse
I tend to laugh whenever I’m sad
I stare at the crash, it actually works
Making amends, this shit never ends
I’m wrong again, wrong again
The way life goes…
Once again spent pretty much the entire day continuing to build out my new website. I estimate 2 more days until I’ll feel comfortable shipping.

Using SolidJS components within Astro is incredibly cool
Today was my grandma’s birthday and so family got together. I took my cousin on a 19 mi bike tour of the city, which was really fun. And I went out on the boat a couple times. All around excellent vibes today.

Out on the lake this morning
@warner My favorite instructor in college peached the value of sketching. One of our assignments was to watch this talk by Dan Roam: "The Back of the Napkin"
I’m bored of my current website.
These past few days I’ve been gathering inspiration for the iteration of my site, and tomorrow begins the development phase.
I’m actually designing it this time as opposed to just figuring it out along the way. I’m using (and enjoying) Sketch for this process.
Taylor Swift trivia was fun! I joined a team with two elderly ladies and we (well, really I) scored pretty high. They didn’t know it was a Swiftie trivia lol
I was hoping to make some friends at the event, but almost everyone was there was either half or double my age. I’m still glad I went though!
If only the interviewer had asked about the Mac app 😔
"We are focused on music while other people are running away from music into podcasts and audiobooks…"
Almost forgot about this event!

Font management on iOS is embarrassing. You can’t just install a font: you have to do it through a third-party app using provisioning profiles. Oh, and variable fonts aren’t supported.
Luckily the iFont app works well enough.
It feels GREAT to be sleeping with the windows open — finally it’s cool enough 😌
@brunocampos It's the Logitech Desk Mat, though I honestly wouldn't recommend it.
@jsonbecker I've always wanted to use Nova, but yeah it's just not there. And it probably won't ever be unfortunately.
I know Zed is putting a lot of work into their vim mode — maybe give it a try. It's not as pretty as Nova, but it's quickly becoming a competent editor.
@Miraz Aside from the other concerns, private helicopters are pretty risky!
I saw this tweet the other day. I don't know how precise the statistic is, but I think the point still stands:
Other things that make no sense to me is flying helicopters everywhere. The odds of dying per trip is so high at 1 in 100,000 trips. So it's about 4x more dangerous than a private jet, and 800x more dangerous than flying commercial

@pcora I also trigger this a lot. At least now I know how to workaround it, ty
@brunocampos nice view!
@brunocampos Yep, threw them in the wash — all good now 😌
@brunocampos this is how my shoes looked 😭
@brunocampos I've learned to appreciate rainy days too. Though this last month has been testing my patience a bit — I think nearly half the days were rainy.
Also apologies for just now seeing your reply! Something is up with my Micro.blog notifications
@brunocampos I didn’t know you were developing a startup! That’s awesome — good luck 🫡
@jsonbecker Consider giving Supermaven a try if you really want to move fast. At least for me, I found myself often taking micro-pauses waiting for Copilot generation. With SM autocompletions are practically instant, making it feel much better.
@brunocampos Aviation is the field I wanted to go into before software engineering. Really cool you get to mix the two
@ningkantida Dickinson is up next on my to-watch list! This actually got me quite a bit more excited to watch it.
@brunocampos I agree, definitely gonna make an effort to do it more often.
@brunocampos Welcome Bruno 👋
@miguelmanalo Absolutely. At least it does get easier with time.
@miguelmanalo <3 it's been a few months since my pup got euthanized 
@KimberlyHirsh thanks 😊
@ningkantida Beautiful work and well said with "it encapsulates the bittersweet nature of 'what-ifs'" — the 1 is one of my absolute favorites 🩶
@goblingumbo I was thinking of listening to each album on this list too! I'm not yet sure how I want to go about it, be it one a day or whatever.
@hrv here's the full list of commands georgegarside.com/blog/maco...
