tonight I sat out on my patio in an Adirondack chair, watching for shooting stars from various meteor showers and I saw a few of them and my family who joined me later saw a few also, and this was absolutely amazing

@cabel fun twist on that, my wife has SSD (Single-Sided Deafness) and she won’t let me buy her a full set of airpods just to ignore one of them. so i find them on ebay where someone lost the (one on her deaf side) and when i explain this to the seller they are usually really stoked that someone is going to get 100%+from the situation they have found themselves in.

@njf i've been loving it. i don't use it a lot, but what @caseyliss did was remove friction from something i instinctively want to do. before Callsheet i would think "what other movies was that actor in?" and then my brain would think of (that website) and then my brain would think "ugh ads terrible nevermind."

Callsheet means i can be curious and satisfy it without grimacing.

i added a 'hamburger' menu to the mobile view of my website and it was more fun that i've had coding in a long long time.

and to think how much it may delight (or confuse) the user who is statistically unlikely to visit and/or discover the feature!

@heymarkreeves yeah mine right now seems limited to the engine-side but i’ve got an endoscope on the way to check out the heater core/dashboard side. if i have to pull the dash i guess that’s on my summer project list.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

my truck is 22 years old. i expect some problems like this. surely they have fixed it by now? in my searching for posts about this topic, i’m finding owners of the 2019+ model having the same problem.

today i began figuring out where the mouse nest is in the cabin-air system of my truck. i found the nest! er, i found _a_ nest. and i may have to disassemble my entire dashboard to disassemble the entire climate control system to find (more). ford could have solved this problem with a piece of wire mesh that costs $0.06.

this week i published a fun little project chronicling books i've read. currently i only list books since owning a Kindle (Amazon keeps track of every book you've purchased or borrowed from a library -- i scraped that info).

in the future i want to backfill pre-Kindle books & start annotating / commenting on entries.

looks super basic and for now that's kinda the point.

that thing where you've been fretting about how to integrate a new feature/datatype into your existing site in a disparate technology and then 💡

i can just make it a subdomain

@annika ooh neat, which one? is it widescreen? i had a monoprice 34" for a while, my wife took that one over and i have a lenovo legion 34" now. i love it. super useful to be able to split the widescreen between two different inputs, e.g. i've got the left half attached to a dock with my work Mac, and the right half displaying my personal Mac.

actually Starbucks, “that first sip feeling” is pain. the fiery burning pain as if you handed me a cup of molten lava and it just immolated my tongue and the roof of my mouth.

the burning hot fire of a thousand suns.

plus nuttiness and a hint of caramel a photo of a starbucks cup that says “that first sip feeling”

@jerzone okay i have to ask, have you taken the journey over to Madison? i stopped there with my boys on our way home from Mt. Washington and it was ... quite epic for a quick stop.

exciting! creating a new collection on your website to display a new type of content.

not exciting: having to write all the content being displayed, or at least enough for now to make shipping the feature worthwhile.

@jerzone i keep an old magnetic dashboard phone-mount on my desk so i can chuck all the tiny screws at it while i work on projects. if i drop something i can usually sweep that around near the floor and find it eventually. not sure about sproinging things though, that’s gonna increase the target area.

that thing where it’s like seeing the same cat twice in The Matrix except it’s that some apps on your phone are in different places
