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.

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.
