Microposts
In a location that averages about 0.05” of snow a year, we are now up to 8” in the last few hours.
An unusual site in South Louisiana. More snow today than I’ve seen in last 35 years. Combined.
My Gear For Sale page has been updated with a few new items and a few price drops. Bags, hanks, pen, Kobo.
New: Sumo Theme 1.1 with internationalization support. English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, & Russian. If there’s a specific language you need, let me know. You can choose language & customize date format in the config.json. Huge shoutout to @cesco for the heavy lifting here.
I added a new page to my site, Gear For Sale.
After a few months and multiple (very delayed) back-and-forth emails with Bluesky, I was finally able to secure my domain name as my handle. Was beginning to look like it might not ever happen.
The Micro.one video walkthrough by @manton sure does feature a nice looking theme if I do say so myself. Of course, I’m not biased.
Here’s more stuff for sale. Clever Supply Co Sidekick ($50), Bellroy Field Notes Cover with 8 notebooks ($80), and an iPad Pro 12.9” 128GB with Apple Pencil and Apple Cover ($625). In case you missed it, I posted some Tom Bihn stuff too.
Any Tom Bihn fans out there? I’ve got a Synik 30 + HLT ($180) and a Cadet with Cache ($180) available. CONUS shipping included. I’ll have more stuff (other brands) available this week too so stay tuned.
I just figured out a plumbing issue in our house that’s been frustrating me for months. I fixed it for a grand cost of $0. I won’t be revealing how simple it was to fix.
A quick look at some great memories from 2024. Now on to 2025.
For Christmas, we got the kids ModRetro Chromatics. They’ve already been a hit (for the adults too). We managed to snag a few games, but now I’ve got the itch and the chase is on for old GameBoy games.
Baseball.
One more ICYMI post: Here’s a Christmas Gift Guide I put together if you happen to be looking for a last minute gift for someone.
Looking through some pics from a few years ago and stumbled on this one. It’s one of those random shots attached to good memories that makes it worth more than the photo itself.
My city is getting that gas station.

ROKA Eyewear makes some of the best sunglasses/glasses out there. The Bartons and Aviators are my two suggestions. If you’d like a nice new pair, here is a whopping $50 off.
I’m late to the game, but Omnifocus 4 is such a good app. Yes, it has some rough edges. But its handling of both defer dates and due dates is superb. Mix that with custom perspectives, shortcuts support, and email integration and it blows the competition away.
There is a font that would be perfect for a project I’m working on, but I don’t know if I can justify the license cost for it.
I’m selling a Synology DS423+ if anyone is in the market.
Dear automation people, I need help. I want to monitor a folder (with sub folders) for any videos. For each video that isn’t already mpg/aac/HVEC, I’d like it converted to it. Lastly, I would like the old file deleted/replaced with the new file. (1/2)
If you’re a homeowner, you really can’t have too many buckets available to use. Leaky pipes? Leaky roof? Quick planter? Haul some rocks/water/etc? Impromptu tool box? Quick place to sit? Trash can? The uses are infinite.
I’m always surprised how many people who use Kindles (or other e-readers) don’t know about these resources.

Anyone have a good lead on some Gameboy or Gameboy Color games?
