Textris is really cool! It’s a tetris-style word-building game that unfolds into an interactive fiction story where you have to form words to perform each action. Recommended!
There was some Negroni discussion earlier in the day, so I felt I should follow up with confirmation that my evening is turning out fine, thank you very much.
This is just to say I have thrown out the last of the cupcakes That someone left by the team printer Three or four days ago.
They were so dry And beginning to mold
Your mom doesn’t work here.
Good Amazon delivery today.
I’m just laughing so hard. I took a burst of photos of my son practicing a dive at his swim lesson today, and I can see the precise frame where he went from “lithe swan” to “giant airborne pretzel.”
My sleepy little hometown has this nonsensically great summer concert series now that I live ten hours away: Flaming Lips, Thievery Corp, Sylvan Esso and Chvrches all played a cozy downtown amphitheater there this year. What?!
My son just went cruising up the street on his bike, saying, “bye, Dad, I’ll be home by supper,” so I’m just going to sit quietly while being impossibly aged for a little while.
Then I guess I’ll make supper.
Good monsoon season sunrise today.
Someday I will meet the man who designed my refrigerator such that the water filter cannot be replaced without removing a shelf. I will tell him that I am not mad, I am disappointed. Deeply disappointed.
The apparent downside of having deep cleaned my espresso machine is my newfound understanding that all that old gunk was the only thing ensuring a tight seal of the portafilter against the gasket.
So, it hailed pretty good at my house today.
Oh no. I just started thinking about changing my blog platform again. Somebody better enable and/or stop me.
👍 That looks like a fun thing to pick up!
Better than running to the bathroom with the headset on!
It’s so good! I hope you love it.
I finished Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See tonight. It’s stunning. Lyrical, gripping, and heartbreaking. 📚
What’s the word on the iOS 12 public beta, friends? Is it ready to run on my daytime phone?

Jack Baty can’t leave org behind and there is much truth in this, in particular:
No matter which task manager I use, I end up ignoring what’s in it anyway. It’s counterintuitive, but switching task managers is a very productive process for me, so this hasn’t been a total wash.
My high school was built as a WPA project and remains this spectacular monument. (Despite taking the original marquee down and replacing it with a ridiculous electronic sign several years ago.)
Dinner date tonight included a nice sampler of interesting sake, and a dish of local corn with a spicy sauce wrapped in seared tuna. That tuna corn was outstanding.
Last time I went on vacation, I got all relaxed and thought, “sure, I can coach the soccer team.” This time I’m all relaxed and thinking, “maybe I’ll start up a tiny podcast here on my micro.blog.” 👀
Morning at mom and dad’s place, northern Utah. We drove here yesterday for a few days of vacation.
It’s after five, making today officially a twelve-hour work day. I’m going on vacation and having one of these.
