Photo
I came home to Lego day apparently. My son is doing a new House Lego, my daughter is doing a Sonic one, and my wife is working on a Kingfisher. Also in the photo is a Lego chess board.
Took a few vacation days with the family to catch the Braves for 3 in Houston. All wins!
It’s a couple generations old, but I grabbed a lightly used Fujifilm X100F. As a beginner-ish, it’s such an appealing camera. I’m still learning my way around it and playing with settings/recipes, but I can definitely see myself using it often.
It’s Opening Day!
This baby girl is 5 today. Happened way too fast.
My Top 5 Flashlights to Carry
For years, I’ve been in what many call the EDC Community. Basically, that means I’m more cognizant of what I carry on a daily basis. Technically speaking, everyone has an EDC (or Every Day Carry). For most people, that includes a phone, keys, and wallet. Others take it a step further with a pocket knife or leaps and bounds further with a fully stocked sling/bag.
One of the most common extra items is a flashlight. If you’re questioning the necessity of carrying a flashlight by asking, “Why not use the flashlight on your phone?” then you likely aren’t the individual who needs to carry a flashlight. But if you find yourself needing a legitimate standalone flashlight often (perhaps due to your job) or just want to see what it’s like to carry one, this list is for you.
The festivals are starting!
She’s back at it. Getting the garden back under controller for this year.
My current lock and Home Screen. Went back to a lot off the defaults/basics.
A Child Theme for Tiny
Tiny Theme comes fully designed out-of-the-box, but many people like to tweak things here and there. Perhaps you want to add a background or increase the width. As a quick example, I’ve designed a child theme using only 3 lines of CSS.
I’ve added a background color, modified the page width, tweaked the margins, rounded some corners, and centered the header. You can copy and paste the code below into your Custom CSS (access it via the Design page on Micro.blog). Use it as is or modify it to your needs.
| body { background: var(--link); max-width: 55em; } | |
| .site-header { text-align: center; } | |
| .site-header, .page-content, footer { background: var(--background); padding: 1em; border-radius: 0.333em; margin: 1em 0; } |
As you can see, making wholesale design changes to Tiny Theme is pretty easy.
As @vincent’s Tinylytics crossed the 2 million hits tracked milestone, my little site passed the 20,000 hits (tracked by Tinylytics) milestone.
Not all cool watches have to cost an arm and a leg. I love my Casio Wave Ceptor.
What watch are you wearing today? For me, it’s a Seiko King Samurai with white dial.
Another day of extended-family vacation.
Vaca fun.
Heading back to Broken Bow with some extended family in about 5 weeks.
Recent kitchen time.
Yard work in Louisiana.
After testing out ≈ 10-12 iPhone 15 Pro Max cases from companies like Apple, Spigen, Nomad, Torras, Totallee, and others…I finally landed on my favorite. It’s a slim leather case with metal buttons and full MagSafe compatibility by Mujjo.
Finally back home after a long road trip. Had some ups and downs (typical for a road trip with kids), but overall it was a success. The highlights were definitely the Braves games and the beach. Good to be back home though!
This week it’s beach time. Starting off the early day (thanks, kids) on the porch with the wife.
Last week, we spent a couple days in Atlanta and caught 2 Braves games.
Our reading and note-taking and calendering and writing and blogging and relaxing nook.
The Maui (specifically Lahaina) news is awful. As someone who has visited a few times (including our honeymoon), it definitely hits hard. A lot of good memories there.
