@derekpeden very tempting! It was the excessively long list in my share sheet that got me started. I had at least ten Shortcuts for posting to Micro.blog 😀
🧹 Cleaning out dozens of old Shortcuts from my iPhone
🤔 Bought tickets for my son and I to see Ryan Holiday
I really like the idea of the unified inbox in the new Reeder and for $1/month I’m very happy to try it out in practice
@devondundee great review of an interesting app
@jimmitchell definitely worth it to us (2 adults and 2 kids). I like that each of us can have separate libraries, while still all having access to the HomePods and AppleTVs
@sarcassem thanks. They bring us such joy and leave too soon
We said goodbye to Lucy today. She was a good dog, great companion, and will be missed 😢
@amerpie I'm glad you're okay! I had a fall detection last year when I was in a bike accident (I was okay) and I'm happy that this feature exists
💸 The St Jude fundraiser was a great motivation for extending my omg.lol service
💼 Back at work. Lots of unread emails to get through
🧰 Lots of IKEA furniture to assemble
🚗 Taking kid #1 back to university
@petebrown I can very much relate to this
@lmika I’ve just switched back to Overcast from Apple Podcasts. I’m curious about the rewrite and have queued this episode for later today. Thanks for sharing!

🐶 Bath time for the puppy, after a few weeks in the woods
🏡 Trying to regain control of the house after a few weeks away. Luggage everywhere, tons of laundry to do, and the backyard is a tall grassland
George did not appreciate the short-lived experiment with a life jacket
Going to be tough to leave
@toddgrotenhuis I really like the premise of the series and thought they explored it well in the first book. Maybe the second book sets up the third one well?
Coming to the end of a great vacation
Finished reading: The Long War by Stephen Baxter is okay. Not nearly as interesting as the first book in the series and has a rather meandering plot 📚
Finished reading: I mostly enjoyed The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz. Great world building across thousands of years and interesting ideas. The middle third dragged a bit though 📚
@ericmwalk Those are very fun!
🏃♂️ Coming across this World War 1 monument, seemingly in the middle of nowhere while running on a country road, was a good reminder of the sacrifices people have made for us
🎵 Although more cheerful than the last few albums, Wild God by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds is still steeped in spiritual yearning
Finished reading: A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers is delightful. The Monk and Robot series is fun. Sort of like a mirror universe Murderbot📚
@renevanbelzen for sure. That’s good advice
Finished reading: The Hidden Palace by Helene Wecker is richly detailed with interesting characters and intriguing plot. A nice sequel to The Golem and the Jinni 📚
🏃♂️ I find it easier to keep good form at faster paces. So, practicing staying tall at a more moderate pace
🏃♂️ Inspired by finishing The Lost Art of Running to pay attention to my form. For this run I focused on running tall and looking forward. Tough to maintain on the hills
@KimberlyHirsh looks fantastic! The kids are in for a treat
Finished reading: The Lost Art of Running by Shane Benzie has lots of great anecdotes and tips. I know my running form could be better and this book has both inspired and empowered me to improve 📚
A new mug from my daughter, along with some high expectations
A top ten favourite feature of iOS 18: eliminating those pesky clipboard alerts
@ericmwalk so much nicer than a pool. This place we’ve rented is the only one on the lake and it is nice to not worry about boat traffic while swimming
@renevanbelzen yeah, disappointing that they aren't willing to invest in a good, though only moderately popular, show
