if there were a service that alerted me when (and only when) this kind of organ-based musical event was going to be happening near me, i'd pay for that

i think it’s because instead of showing a block screen reminding me i’m a bad boy for muscle-memory-autotyping the twitter url, i end up on a pleasant portal page (that i’m proud of having made) and i get refocused on what i’m at the computer to try to get done.

i've been redirecting x.com to my notion dashboard with this lil browser extension: https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/

it's been more effective than any of the apps (focus, opal, etc) i've tried on my mac to break my twitter habit!

got this free sample pen in a sales mailer from pens.com yesterday with my web studio’s logo engraved on it. first off, i’m impressed with the quality. but secondly, how did they get ahold of this monochrome outlined version of my logo? i can’t remember posting it anywhere!

GA4 feels like just someone’s hobby project. (and that someone has just the wrong mixture of adhd and autism)

the phanpy.social web app is shockingly good, even on mobile. why didn’t y’all tell me about this mastodon client?

better yet, when i saved it to my home screen i named it “qoto”, so when i instinctually search for my instance’s name rather than a specific app name, it still pops up!

huh, i've never seen apple use this logo before! weird combo of older styles. rainbow gradient fruit body with an unusually leaf-like leaf, G3 era-ish shine, and a diecut border/shadow. from a marketing email today. anyone else seen it?

are the beer price-cuts related to doug ford's quarter-billion taxdollar giveaway for rushing the whole corner store booze rollout? surprised i'm not finding news articles about this. #onpoli

wow, a lot of prices have plummeted since the last time i visited the beer store. seems like 30-40% price reductions on many of the cans i was looking at — imports, craft, and domestic conglomerate brews. what's going on?

when life gives you lemons, you’re experiencing the amazing invention of some prehistoric humans who thought to try cross-breeding a mandarin with a pomelo, and then crossed the resultant seville orange with a citron. already way more impressive than making lemons into lemonade!

apparently it’s quicker to fly from
new delhi to *tashkent* than new delhi to mumbai!?

this bit of trivia (and more) gotten by listening to the “empire” episode on russian contest of central asia: https://pca.st/episode/d81eb4b5-d854-4baf-9db8-5c9c7b96a1cd

just got back from a family gathering at my bro-in-law’s farm. and he brought out some pear cider he’d just made. dang, it was good! i might have a new favourite non-alc beverage!

back from a few days at long point on lake erie. crazy how one day it’ll have waves over your head, and the next it looks like this!
