My son saved up enough money to get a Nintendo Switch, and it’s set to arrive today. He woke up early and got dressed so he could meet the UPS man outside when it arrives. I think he’s excited.

Anyone have a good suggestion for reasonably priced desktop speakers for a Mac Mini that work with the Apple keyboard volume buttons?

This is hard to process. Praying he’s ok. This stuff isn’t supposed to happen in sports.

Shot in the dark here. Anyone looking to sell a Fujifilm X100V or Ricoh GR III?

Annual reminder that your in-laws WiFi password is taped to the bottom of their modem/router combo.

I’m going to push this until the end of the year, because it’s a crazy deal. Join OMG.lol for $5/yr (no autopay required). Price goes up to $20/yr Jan 1. Even if you’re unsure if you’ll use it, sign up for it to get that price. Features a blog, pastebin, landing page, & way more.

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!
