Thinking about getting as gifts for people I know. But I'm secretly hoping they'll get one for me.

I love Charlie Stross so much: by @cstross@wandering.shop .

Browsing . Really cool collection of DOM manipulations with basic JavaScript, no libraries required.

The web and browsers are so powerful, we barely need anything to do such great things.

Shout out to all my #adhd pals buried under a haystack of needles.

Have you read ?

I'm feeling a lot of this right now -- why are we doing all this again? Developer experience is important, yes, but it's subordinate to user experience. Shipping a bunch of JS to the client as a prerequisite for the app to work as the default case seems like a poor decision.

Reading about .

What a useful general-purpose math function that I haven't seen before!

Listening to .

If you don't know the series and love all things Cthulian do yourself a favor and start with season 1, episode 1!

Digging in to Godot's documentation, trying to make a simple space arcade game. Having fun!

Investigating . Lots of cool utility functions in here.

I'm very lucky that I like reading documentation.

Browsing .

A kit to build a Z80? Holy shmokes that's awesome. I don't know if I have a burning need for one myself, but I'm so so glad this exists in the world.

Hat tip to @lmorchard@mozilla.social for the link.

Today's WTF: .

Using instead of the native Dropbox app on Linux, very happy with it.

At Death Cab and Postal Service show. Weird that they've never played together before, their singers sound very similar!

Maybe it's a Clark Kent/Superman thing.

Watching . It is seriously good, 11 hours long, and starts as though you're a complete beginner to programming and gamedev without being too pandering.

If you're trying to get familiar with Godot because of the Unity fiasco and you like learning from videos, this seems like a great place to start!

@b0rk@jvns.ca always does such a great job breaking down complex concepts into their simple parts, then laying them out nicely and explaining them.

Reading .

I like that Maggie isn't a total enthusiast nor does she completely disapprove; she explores a bunch of options while calling out the limitations well.

Watching "Blue Thunder". It's been ages!

Checking out . These look kinda pretty!

Check out ! These are seriously pretty little notecards, geez.

My self-control over my office supply addiction is wearing thin.

Thinking about buying some to make a travel keyboard for when I go in to the office.

.

Ah, cool, my GPG key expired today. Gonna go run the expire command to renew it, which is hilarious.

Browsing .

Found while digging around in the nvim-cmp Makefile. Neat!

Trying not to fall asleep as I put the boy to bed.

Checking out the unofficial omg.lol Telegram bot, .

Trying to figure out why I'm not getting a webmention on, ironically, my post about webmentions.

Jumped into a pool with my phone in my pocket over the weekend. What a gigantic pain in the ass.

Hanging out with friends wrapping up our years-long Masks campaign. The end is nigh.

Trying to get in-reply-to working on my site and respond to posts on my own 11ty site...

I think "Synchronicity II" is my favorite track by The Police.

Recovering from being sick, feeling better, trying not to push it today.

The episode "Trials of the Darksaber" in the series "Star Wars Rebels" is so, so good.

Seriously enjoying "Star Wars Rebels". Wanted something to watch while I'm sick and not disappointed.

Think I'm getting sick, listening to "Point of Departure" to soothe myself.

Fixing up the layout of my personal site using techniques I learned from and having a blast.

First kid sickness of the school year on day number eight. Sniffles and sore throat. He's got that thing where he's all flat. Y'know that thing? Where normally they're all bouncy but when they're sick they're like pancaked?

Having a hard time getting my brain going this morning. Seems like I can only display a light interest in Internet minutiae right now.

I just fell in love with a new monospace font! Berkeley Mono, so good.

Working late on publishing a list of my principles to my personal site.

Trying to get my local TiddlyWiki to paste some stuff back to my omg.lol pastebin and fighting CORS errors.

Just rewatched "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse". So, so good.

I got my status.lol widget working on my site!

Thinking about how best to incorporate into my personal site, generated by 11ty.

... and then sleep feels impossible.

Writing XSLT past midnight, it's like it's the first dot com boom again...

Listening to the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem" soundtrack by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Whoosh, it's good.

Still obsessing about and thinking about making an app that uses it.

Thinking about sleep...

Writing my morning pages. The only journaling practice I've stuck with longer than a month.

Importing my reading from bookwyrm.social to books.theunseen.city. Such evocative domain names!

Is it weird that I'm in love with a logging library?

TWELVE YEARS DUNGEON!!!111ONE

Woke up fuzzy-headed from sleep and a weird dream about a candy store with a membership fee.

Browsing .

I'm at the stage where I hate my site redesign and no longer know what looks good anymore. Do I even know CSS or have I forgotten everything? What even is semantic markup?

Very glad that my cat isn't as sick as I thought he was.

Merry Christmas!

Sad desk lunch of a veggie bean-and-cheese burrito.

Reading omg.lol docs...
