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.

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!

Mini golf time with the family. Brigsby (6) has been asking to go for a while, and we finally found the time to play a round!

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.

What is your code editor of choice? I’ve been a BBEdit fan for ages.

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.

I have a Mystery Ranch 3-Way Briefcase available for sale. Lightly used, no rips/tears. Comes with strap. No zipper issues. $110 shipped. Ask for them and I’ll throw in some new Field Notes as well.

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?

If you are using a custom theme (or have just customized an available theme) for Micro.blog, drop a link in the replies. Would love to see what you’ve done!

Any bag or EDC people out there? I’ve got a very lightly used Mystery Ranch 3 Way Briefcase (Black) available. Let me know if interested.

As a Kindle user, I’ve always been underwhelmed with the on-device font options. I would alternate between Bookerly & Ember, but never loved either. I finally took time to add multiple custom fonts. After lots of back-and-forth, I’ve landed on good ole Georgia. What do you use?

Entertaining the idea of trading in my Kindle Oasis for a Scribe (can stack some discounts). But as of now, I think I’m leaning towards holding on to the Oasis. The main appeal of the Scribe is the larger screen, but it may be too large. I won’t use it for notes. Only reading.

This was last year. Feels about the last time one of us did not have a cold or cough. Of course that’s an exaggeration, but the last few weeks have been quite the challenge. 🙏🏻

Has anyone seen an actual hands-on review of the new Kindle Scribe?

I still have to clean things up on the backend, tweak a few design elements, and work on a couple more features, but my new micro.blog theme is live. I went with the now page strategy.
