Tried out Arc Browser for a while, but it just has too many limitations for my use. The lack of a mobile version (thus no syncing) and no iCloud password access are the dealbreakers for me.

First fire of the year. Not many opportunities here.

I have learned way more than I ever thought I’d need to know about trademarks, BIMI, DMARC, etc over the last couple weeks.

I made a very simple landing page of sorts for the domain my wife and I use for email. There are always a few people who visit the domain to verify our email authenticity (particularly when using PayPal, etc). Maybe it’ll serve as enough verification for them.

Finished reading Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr today. It’s a fantastic and unique story that I would recommend to almost anyone.

Took the day off to go ice skating with my son for his 6th birthday. We had the entire rink to ourselves.

I’ve been a recent convert to the Kindle + Libby setup for reading. Disappointed I didn’t dive into that ages ago. The Kindle Oasis (got it for a steal) makes all the difference for me.

I’ve still got a few things left to tweak (dark mode for example), but I’m happy with my new micro.blog theme. Clean and simple.

I’m still struggling to find the ideal read-it-later/consumption service. Instapaper hasn’t evolved, Pocket isn’t my thing. Matter is OK. Readwise’s Reader (beta) is strong but is trying to do too much (like Feedbin, Inoreader). Any suggestions?

Having quite the productive day. Knocked out a good bit of day job stuff, redesigned my blog, and booked a small Christmas family getaway.

I’m currently reading Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr and loving it. His Pulitzer winning book, All the Light We Cannot See, is one of my favorites from the past 10 years. So far it seems CCL may be better. 📚

A Day in the Life. Around 10am in Lafayette, Louisiana.

I took the plunge and invested in a new AppleWatch Ultra. I’m a big guy, so I appreciate the extra size. Having said that, it looks just fine on almost anyone (my more petite wife included). I’m a big fan of the default (Ultra-exclusive) watch face as well. I went with both the Ocean band and Alpine Loop, but the Ocean one has been my favorite so far.

My lil guy loves some baseball.

I’m a big fan of the new Omega x Swatch watches, but it looks like I’ll have a long wait before I can grab one (or ten).
