Took my kids to Nando’s tonight to celebrate my daughter taking round one of the CPA exam.

HEY’s handling of contacts really is bad. If you use any service (like craigslist) that generates random addresses all of that shit starts to clog up your contact list. And since there is no way to bulk delete contacts…. yeah its a freaking mess.

OK well this is something I hadn’t heard before: “Ces Bottes Sont Faites Pour Marcher” by Eileen. “These Boots Were Made for Walking”…in French. 1966.

I love how we keep hearing that Trump and the GOP want to save money yet we keep having these endless military flyovers, etc. I’m sure they don’t cost anything.

Another 4th of July tradition - the humble funnel cake.

Celebrating the 4th with that most-American of pastimes - the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Didn’t watch last year because Joey Chestnut wasn’t there. He’s back this year and so am I 😆 🌭 🇺🇸

18 shot, 4 dead, in a mass shooting outside a restaurant in the River North neighborhood in Chicago and not a peep from the major news outlets.

Just putting this out there: the “Cocktail Hour” channel on Sonos is fantastic. 🎵

Ghost added the ability in the newest release (5.129.0) to upload HEIC files and it auto-converts them to JPG. Seems like a pretty major deal for Mac/iOS users but it’s not listed as one of the major changes in their release notes 🧐

The NFL preseason can’t come soon enough.

The Craft team says “Search just got smarter. We’ve laid the groundwork for a stronger, faster, and better search experience.” What exactly does that mean? Smarter how? Its shocking to me that PKM-type tools (or email providers) can provide poor search capability.

Sending out some long overdue apologies. Life is too damned short.

Against my better judgement I have reenabled my Fediverse account here on micro.blog.

God the smartass in me is having a tough time responding to some posts here. Not with mean intent but just because i’m too damn sarcastic for my own good sometimes.

Increasingly finding my tolerance for dumb questions at work from people who should know better is getting lower and lower. Build job fails with a “network unreachable” error and someone asks why? Uh…because things happen sometimes?

The swamp milkweed and butterfly weed apparently doing its job.

Apparently I’m running a bathhouse now.

The Echinacea in the yard is looking good!

Was messing with Project Indigo out on a walk. This pic looks like there is vignetting going on which is odd.

11 years ago today my wife and I, on our trip to Watkins Glen NY, stopped by Watkins Glen State Park. Really, really beautiful park. Get there early as the tiny parking lot fills up fast!
