Notes
I can always tell when I’m old enough to be the other parents’ dad at soccer practice when their kids are sporting those weird zoomer bowl cuts.
All this chatter about Tylenol has me wondering:
Does that stuff actually work for anyone? Acetaminophen has never worked for me for any kind of pain, not even once.
Three more days to delete 10s of gigs of images from Google Photos before they revoke my email privileges for non-renewal of Google One. And their decision to only allow me to delete 500 at a time solidified my decision to never pay them again, if I can help it.
Y’all: if you’re going to do phone tutorials, please trim those fingernails. It’s shocking how frequently I see talented digital creators with incredible attention to production detail lose me with those gnarly digits.
Son’s school said first graders should be tying their own shoelaces. I did bunny ears until I was in my 20s.
End of summer vibes
Something that threw me as a transplant: east coast vs west coast butter dimensions.
Finally getting around to cleaning up the yard after a busy few weeks. Late summer yard work in Oregon always has me dodging giant orb weavers and pulling web out of my hair. I think I’m gonna start naming some of these beasts, maybe charging rent.
Having a daughter come up in the world 3 years behind my son has been eye opening. Acknowledging that boys have their own set of advantages, the facial cues from friends and strangers out in the world has been night and day. It’s all smiles and sunshine out there. He was something to be controlled.
Any other #Ghost users out there having trouble with the Notes ActivityPub feed? Long form seems unaffected, but I haven’t been able to see notes for days.
Not sure why, but I’ve been really feeling the monochrome lately. Maybe a reflection of how I feel on the inside.
Currently reading: The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah 📚
Decade date in Alaska. Checking #50 off the bucket list and celebrating a little early for 11.10
Thank god I don’t live there anymore, but I’ll never forgive Lansing for allowing Gillespie to desecrate much of that town. Like tearing down an entire city block face worth of historic buildings to put up a 5-over-1 when a vacant block existed Nextdoor.
When the Fujifilm X-M5 came out, all I wanted was an X-E5. Now that the X-E5 is out, I think I just want an X-M5.
I’m dreading the change.
“Because Cashel Man’s chest was destroyed by the milling machine that uncovered him, the researchers are unable to examine the state of his nipples.”
Can’t say that I ever expected to read a sentence like that in my life.
I swear, every year I think about going to Oktoberfest in Leavenworth, WA but then talk myself out of it because it’s a 6-hour drive. I think I’d rather just fly to Bavaria.
The rain today (and thunderstorm!) has me thinking about ripping out more grass and planting some new landscaping. I also need to get some garlic in the ground soon.
