    After a lot of tinkering, I think I’ve managed to create a Drafts/Shortcuts combination that allows me to post everything to Micro.blog from directly within Drafts (including posts with titles, posts without titles, images, and link posts). On top of that, it all works on Mac and iOS.

    I was 0-2 on tonight’s @ivory@tapbots.social alpha invite party. The struggle is real.

    A Few Thoughts on My Blogging and Social Media Setup

    Even before the Elon-Runs-Twitter era, I was starting the process of creating a more seamless and less time consuming online strategy. I knew I wanted to keep my blog. I knew I wanted to limit my social media exposure without completely leaving it behind. The first steps were easy: Delete my Facebook profile along with the Facebook and Messenger apps Make my Instagram account read-only, private, and largely inactive But What About Blogging?

    I’m surprised at the amount of companies telling you “refund is being processed” and “no need to ship it back.” I understand the logic, but it seems that opens the door for some easy theft. So far, I’ve seen it from Amazon and Target.

    If you haven’t signed up for OMG.lol, what exactly are you waiting for? I mean, $5/year is more than worth it!

    Scientists Achieve Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough With Blast of 192 Lasers

    That changed at 1:03 a.m. on Dec. 5 when 192 giant lasers at the laboratory’s National Ignition Facility blasted a small cylinder about the size of a pencil eraser that contained a frozen nubbin of hydrogen encased in diamond. NY Times https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/13/science/nuclear-fusion-energy-breakthrough.html This is over-my-head for the most part, but when a paragaph includes phrases like “192 giant lasers” and “frozen nubbin,” you have to share it.

    It took a while to update every Apple device I have, but I managed to get through it and enable Advanced Data Protection without issue.

    How physics and a video game trick forever changed the NASCAR Championships

    Using physics, Ross Chastain floored it during the final turn, scraping the wall and passing 5 cars to advance to the NASCAR championship.

    You know how movies sometimes have that intimate “downtown” area? We are fortunate to live 1 block from that type of place (still only 15 minutes from a bigger city). Tomorrow is the annual close-the-streets small town Christmas party. Add a love story and it’s a Hallmark movie.

    After going somewhat frequently, it’s now been 4 years since our last trip to Hawaii. Mostly thanks to COVID. I think it’s about time we head back. 📷

    It will be politicized. Some will think it’s a lie or impossible. Despite that, this is a big announcement from Apple that everyone should get behind.

    My favorite feature of OMG.lol so far is the Pastebin. I actually like that’s it’s basically feature-less. That alone is worth the $5/yr.

    So should I sign up for omg.lol?
