On this day

Posts on and around this day (May 28):

2025-05-28 / I’m having a great time using Journelly. It’s an org-mode based journaling tool built for iOS, which ticks some big nerd boxes for me. Journelly stamps metadata into the header of each entry, like weather and location, and then the app nicely renders that info on display in the app. And creating new entries is as frictionless as making a new note in Drafts or another editor – but with the bonus of living in a tidy, appealing timeline that Álvaro Ramírez calls “tweeting, but for your eyes only.
2025-05-26 / I’m spending more time tooling around Flickr lately, and realized quite suddenly just how much of my history is there. Different homes, at least two careers, friends and family and a whole lot of just life is in pictures that I shared there.
2025-05-25 / Shooting around with the camera, I realized that it was set to a slight crop and I couldn’t figure out why. I have no earthly idea how I turned on “sports finder” mode accidentally, but am sure glad this reddit post perfectly answered my question.
2023-05-30 / Sunrise in Eden, UT.
2022-05-31 / Super-pleased to see that a couple of small Shiny app improvements I made this weekend correctly picked up on some source data changes today and automatically handled them. Pretty cool!
2022-05-31 / My work week starts with “service interruption to a major power line.” At least I got to make coffee first.
2022-05-29 / 🎮 I got to spend a few hours this weekend laying siege to the new dungeon that was released in Destiny 2 on Friday. Today, my team and I finished it! It’s the first time I’ve been able to play new, hard content at release and without any prior knowledge of it – and to actually complete it! I’m really happy that I got to do it, and I really enjoyed the time with my team to figure it all out together and successfully make our way through it.
2022-05-27 / It’s Friday, my friends! I have had a great big workout (incl leg burners snuck in at the end by my trainer), procured a breakfast burrito, and have the day off to start a long weekend. Let’s go!
2020-05-29 / Think I’ll settle in for a solid Friday evening with a viewing of Cabin in the Woods. 🎥 🍷
2020-05-28 / After a long but tolerable hold, I had a perfectly pleasant and effective conversation with a helpful Verizon rep today. Just putting a little good energy out there, gang.
2020-05-26 / Look, I know it’s a fascinating miracle of logistics and interlocking institutions that I can mail-order gluten free flour at all, but at the same time I’m so puzzled that it has spent the last five days in the greater Phoenix metro area without getting any closer to my house.
2020-05-26 / Me, in chat: No, I’m not putting kkk into the shared doc we’re all looking at. I just forget that it doesn’t have vim keys. Again.
2020-05-26 / One month of no twitter reading (allowing occasional posting) has been the very best thing for my mental health. Recommended!
2020-05-26 / About a year on, I’m super happy with this smart sprinkler controller. Being able to put plants in the ground, adjust sprinklers and then test them without running to the control box is amazing, and the smart scheduling seems to work pretty well.
2020-05-25 / Adding Todoist items with an Alfred workflow
2019-05-25 / Streetlight / moonrise / stray cat
2018-05-31 / I appear to have unconsciously begun to unify notebook colors with coffee cup colors.
2018-05-30 / Back from a whirlwind weekend. Miss you again already, Colorado.
2015-05-28 / Invisible, Inc., and Roguelikes
2015-05-25 / Snow in May
2014-05-31 / What I Want From WWDC; And, Entirely Uninformed Speculation About Beats
