Got a self hosted WordPress site? Want a fancy modern static site?

I’d be curious to know how you get along with this. Let me know what breaks.

Anyone else buying all the spoken word albums from the guy from that TV show that rescues dive bars, before they disappear?

Anyone else over mid-30s thinking about mortality?

  • ⏰ How many years online is a year in real life?

  • 📉 I need to write a will

  • 🔐 Need to make sure my server friend can access this stuff

It all feels fairly bleak tbh.

Lack of headphones solved by simply plugging in a HomePod on my desk and listening to New Order on that. Doesn’t sound too bad, actually.

Can’t find any of my headphones. Found my 30 pin charging cable and my iPod Classic though.

It is wild to me how much better I can see with my glasses on. I should probably wear them more often, huh? At the same time, stuff at the periphery of my vision is blurry and I think that makes me feel uneasy so I wind up taking them off a lot, and then forget to put them back on.

YouTubers should refer to people who watch YouTube, not people who make videos for it.

The way cars drive k, especially at night makes me wonder how everyone who rides a bike isn’t dead? It’s so bad.

I’m going to try out OmniFocus. I already installed it and it does seem to be what I want. We’ll see if that lasts.

No hyphens in tag names. Yes hyphens in web-component names.

I need to write that somewhere.

Trying to get organized. Looking for a todo app that doesn’t have any AI stuff. All suggestions welcome, even open source software. I don’t want to use a text file to keep myself organized though, as that’s clearly not working for me. Ideally it runs in a browser.

@KimberlyHirsh the Switch 2 version everyone should have a Virtual Boy with crappy batteries.

@KimberlyHirsh true but often a different system to the one you’re playing on. I think it was a Super Famicom in the original games.
