My son (6) woke up with a plan today. Make muffins with mom, go to a nearby town (40 min drive) to eat poboys, hit a couple shops, return in time to play a board game and watch the Braves, and make homemade pizzas for dinner. So that’s what we did. Good day!

I really want to like Readwise Reader, but I just can’t get there. It does a lot good but almost nothing perfectly. I’d rather have apps/services that do limited things well than ones that do a lot of things kinda okay.

If you’re interested in adding NIP-05 Verification (Nostr Verified Checkmark) to your domain via Micro.blog, here’s a quick tutorial on how to DIY it pretty easily.

There’s a new update for Tiny Theme that adds one of the most requested features. There’s now a separate plugin available that will enable summary/truncated posts on your home page instead of full posts. This is only triggered when your post has a title (meaning it will never summarize microposts).

Update 1.1.0: A new update to this plugin has been pushed out that allows customization of the default “Read More” text. Change it to “Continue Reading” or to another language entirely. It should also work with symbols like → and ↓.

The latest Tiny Theme for Micro.blog update includes bug fixes for the newsletter template, bigfoot footnotes, and forms in dark mode. Soon, I hope to add some features specific to tinylytics and cross-posting too. Are there any other features you’d like?

I’ve added a MacBook Air M1 to my for sale page.

Any more Tiny Theme users need a Bluesky invite?

Wife and kids surprised me with an early Father’s Day gift. It’s a winner!

I have accounts on many of the Twitter replacement type services (Mastodon, Bluesky, Nostr), but I haven’t found myself using any of them with regularity. My daily drivers are essentially Micro.blog and Instagram (where I don’t even post).

I’ve added 3 flashlights and a G-Shock to my for sale page. I’ve also lowered a couple prices. Now’s the time to buy!

Added a 2017 iPad Pro 10.5” to my for sale page. A lot more stuff coming soon, including a G-Shock GM2100CB-3A if you want to beat the listing.

What ad blocker (and other Safari extensions) are people using these days?

I’m beginning the process of selling a few things. The list already has a few things, but more will be added. Lots of Apple stuff will be on there, a couple watches, a coffee grinder, and more.

Tiny Theme now supports Fathom Analytics (discount through link) with a new plugin. As a bonus, signing up through that link supports further development of the theme.

There have already been some really great mods of Tiny Theme, but this one is by far the most thorough I’ve seen to date. @juha went all out and really put his own style all over it. Impressive!

In the market for a 16" MacBook Pro? Hit me up. Current gen M2, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, 20 battery cycles. Original box, charger. Excellent condition. Wiped and ready. $1850 shipped ($2300 retail).

Also in this update for Tiny Theme is improved styling for the included newsletter theme.

By far, the most requested feature for Tiny Theme was the ability to easily change the browser theme color. I’ve now added the ability to do that via a plugin. First, update Tiny Theme to the latest version. Then install the new browser color plugin from the directory and choose your colors.

Pushed out an update to Tiny Theme today with a few bug fixes and some styling support for @sod’s Search Space plugin. That clears out the reported bugs for it, and it should open up room for more advanced features in the next couple weeks.

I’m currently reading The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. His novels always have a very distinct style, and this one is no different. I’m 60% through it (thanks, Kindle progress tracker thing), so it’s time to start looking for what comes next. Any suggestions?
