I’ve been using my Iris now for a little over two months and am feeling pretty fluent with it! In the never-ending quest for perfection, I might change up the switches for something just a bit more positive feeling.

My weekly indoor rides at the old gym used to be my favorite thing each week, my 5am community. I hesitated on getting an indoor bike for such a long time and I’m happy I finally went for it.

I’m just so pleased with how well this morning’s cappuccino turned out. Delicious.

After a week of Aeropress coffee, I opened up, took apart and cleaned up a few key components of this old and much-loved espresso machine (I promise I polished it up afterwards, too). I think it still needs a descaling, but it seems to be pumping along once again. I’m so satisfied.

I’m really having a good time with Chained Echoes. This was the first pretty hard boss and I had to think about how to handle it, revising my tactics and leveling up my party a bit more before I successfully finished it off. This is a great Steam Deck game for kicking back on the sofa.

I got out downtown early yesterday morning for breakfast after my Friday workout. It was a beautiful, cold morning for a quick walk.

Our snow accumulation has gone from “lots” to “fairytale wintertime.”

Several more inches of snow fell overnight and the clearing morning sky is beautiful. But don’t be too disarmed: more snow is on the way!

All right, 2023, back to work, let’s go.

This Iris is my first split and ortholinear keyboard, and I’m slowly, gradually getting used to typing on it. Getting back to work tomorrow will be interesting!
