I’ve been on a great run of books lately. Cloud Cuckoo Land. The Lincoln Highway. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. The Last Thing He Told Me. Now I need something new. Any suggestions?

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).
